What to write in the Address field when checking-in for a US-bound flight, if my purpose of travel is transit?

In the check-in system: 1) Transit
2) Dallas
3) Texas
The passport kiosks at YYZ (on the outbound trip) and DFW (on the return) will ask for the purpose of your trip, whereby you select “Transit”.
(Mind you, you do not need to fill out a blue customs form on the plane on the MEX-DFW flight, even if airline staff may suggest otherwise)
The best is to write in-transit if the form lets you. When it does not because it requires a full address, use the one of the airport. I am also a Canadian and have been in transit via the USA dozens of times and one of these two had always worked. This is a very common case you can imagine since going from Canada to Mexico, Central America or South America passed through the USA extremely often.
I had the same issue, flying from europe to mexico over houston. On the way to mexico I had to wait a night and had hotel – no problem there. On the way back I just filled in the Hotel Adress again and wrote TRANSIT beside it. No one was asking anything about this. I assume filling in the airport adress and TRANSIT is also kind of clever as it is literally the adress you will stay until your next flight.
- Can immigration officers call another country to determine whether a traveller is a citizen of theirs?
- If I was deported from Canada when I was underage, am I able to have a layover in the US?
Simply write “IN TRANSIT TO MEXICO VIA DFW”. If you need to fill in additional address lines, give those of the airport through which you are transiting.
