Visited with Tilly Attraction field notes
Halifax Stanfield International Airport
Our family pickup point at YHZ, where Tilly and I waited outside because she could not wait loose inside the terminal.

The short version
We drove to Halifax Stanfield International Airport in July 2026 to meet family arriving from Scotland. Tilly could not wait loose inside the terminal, so we parked and waited outdoors until everyone arrived.
The airport’s published policy welcomes travelling pets inside only when they remain in an airline-approved carrier; assistance animals are the exception. Outdoor and post-security pet-relief areas are available, but pickup planning matters when travelling with a dog who cannot use a carrier.
