When I have a connection, I try to potty them on a pad instead of going outside because if you go outside, you run the risk of having to go through security all over again. And that can always be a gamble. I usually get in line for the restroom and hope for the handicapped stall (it's bigger) and laid down a used pad (gross I know; but it has scent which usually triggers faster) and just tell him to go potty over and over and over. There is so much going on that sometimes its hard. That's why I bring the soiled pad; it's something familiar and stimulates easier.

I got lucky that my hubby is a member of Continental's President club. I usually can find a private restroom and we can get a 'family room' with a TV so the dog can run around and stretch for a bit. It really helps so get some activity in so they will fall asleep again on the next leg of the trip.
