Travel policy diagrams

https://travelcatnotes.xyz/travel-policy-diagrams/ · Teaching exercise, not travel clearance.

Six original source-reading diagrams. These are not airport layouts, carrier designs, handling instructions, training stages or certification marks.

Journey stage: Airline: pet secured in kennel; TSA: empty carrier screened; After screening: follow applicable directions
Checkpoint stage, not a blanket open-carrier permission.

Source scope: TSA: Norfolk pet-screening advice

Carrier purpose: Clinic: removable top and safe handling; Cabin: operator and aircraft limits; One purpose does not certify the other
Original information diagram, not a carrier design or fit test.

Source scope: AAFP: Visiting Your Veterinarian

Document events: Exact document and route; Issue / endorsement / travel event; No generic deadline calculated
No legal finding or appointment timing is generated.

Source scope: USDA APHIS: Pet Travel Process Overview

Marketing versus operation: Ticket name; Actual operator of each segment; Pet confirmation separately checked
A ticket is not pet-space confirmation.

Source scope: Delta: Pet Travel Overview

Species scope: Mixed dog and cat source page; Exact paragraph names the species; Do not copy a dog rule onto a cat
Species scope remains attached to the source.

Source scope: Delta: Pet Travel Overview

Practice versus clearance: Observed response; Unknowns and help requested; No calendar or treat certifies readiness
No exposure schedule, medical fitness or calm outcome.

Source scope: AAFP: Visiting Your Veterinarian
