Transfer transportation is the type of transportation in which you fly from point A to point B with an intermediate landing (transplantation); At the same time, the transplant time is no more than 24 hours.
The transplant point is called a transfer point, and the transplant itself is docking. Transfer from transit is distinguished by the fact that the flight from the transplant point continues with another flight number. This may be the flight of the same airline, which carried out transportation to the transfer point, and there may be a flight of another airline.
For reference. Minimum connecting time (MST) - the time required for the successful transplantation of passengers and overloading baggage from one flight to another at the airport of the shuttle (60 minutes to 24 hours). Docking between flights more than 24 hours is considered to be stopped on the way - Stop Over.
Thus, the difference of the transfer from a conventional transfer from flight to flight:
- no need to receive baggage *;
- it is not necessary to re-pass all the pre-flight formalities *;
- saves time.
* Provided that the passenger at the departure airport is simultaneously registered both on the flight to the reception, and on docking flight From the point of transfer to the destination airport (two seating coupons are issued). In this case, transfer passengers do not need to be registered in transfer halls or at the reception in the overall airport hall, and immediately go to the departure hall of international / domestic airlines to the entrance to the landing date or on the information scoreboard. More detailed information By end-to-end registration can be obtained from registration at the airport of departure.
Not at all airports, there is a possibility of placing transfers. Please specify at the airport of departure, whether your luggage is decorated to the destination final destination.

No one will be new and unfamiliar such concepts as "transfer flight" or "Transit Flight" are used by most of these words as synonyms. But! Friends, there is a difference between them :) Consider it on the example of two of my travels: the first is the transfer from Tyumen to Volgograd through Moscow. The second is the transit from Volgograd to Surgut through Ekaterinburg.
Transfer.
Let's start with the fact that you have 2 flights in your ticket. In my case it is UT454 and UT385. At the airport of departure (G. Tyumen), we give me two landing coupons and ask about the need to pick up your luggage in Moscow. I don't need it in the capital of the capital. Accordingly, I will get your baggage already at the final destination, in Volgograd.
1. We start flight 454 to Moscow
2. History to the aircraft, salon and planting settlement Not worth it: another liner will be on Volgograd. 
3.
In the metropolitan airport, I need to spend about 3 hours until the next flight. This is quite optimal docking time. Little time to choose I do not recommend that there is a temporary reset supply. Do not forget that if you are late for a connecting flight, due to the delay of your first flight, the fault lies on the carrier. What will not be in case of just separately purchased two flights. By the way, the transfer is not necessarily carried out by one airline. It can be partner companies or airlines - members of one alliance.
You do not need to register - I was registered yet in Tyumen. Very convenient to choose yourself comfortable spot in the cabin because Passengers flying out of Vnukovo to Volgograd will start registering on their flight later than me. Accordingly, an empty interior is at your disposal :)
4. And here we are going to the plane, which will deliver us to the city of Hero Volgograd. It is necessary, this is Yak :) Rare bird 
5. Sit comfortably and enjoy the flight! 
6. 
7.
8.
After arrival, we take your luggage - the flight is over!
Transit
If you are a transit passenger, then you have one flight in your ticket. I have - 7r 417.
The route also consists of several items, (Volgograd-Yekaterinburg-Surgut), but, unlike the transfer, the average link is the place of intermediate landing. The flight is performed on a single aircraft.
9. So you can safely justify in place - from Ekb we are on it and fly 
10.
11. Arrange in Ekaterinburg
12.
In Ekb, those who are already the end item. We, who continue their journey, are in the drain. We are given Priority cards that give us the right to take a plane and take our places. Passengers who hooked in Koltsovo are seated on free spaces.
This is a very unusual feeling when you come back on the same plane, as if to my home))
13. PRIORITY card
At the airport we spend literally 20 minutes, and our name is landing together with new passengers from the capital of the Urals.
14. We arrive at the end item - Surgut
In Surgut, we get our suitcases - the flight is over!
So, a short summary: a transfer is a docking flight on different flights of the same airline or partner companies.
Transit - Flying within one flight, but with an intermediate landing.
The transfer passengers to the transfer passengers who, in flight tickets arrived at the airport transfer, with one flight and continue to fly by another flight of the same or other carrier.
Features of servicing transfers are noticeable when booking air tickets. They are that the transfer passenger must be informed by the booking by the Operator on the requirements of the requirements imposed on foreign citizens of the state bodies of the country through which they are transit. These claims are set out in the Special Directory of Tim (Travel Information Manual) and relate to the passport, visa and customs regimes of the countries of entry and departure.
At the airport of departure transfer passengers have priority eliminates before the rest, especially in the event of a flight delay. Registration of passengers of this category, in addition to standard procedures, includes confirmation of the reservation on the connection flight and docking time, as well as checking the documents required by government agencies at the airports of the shuttle. When making a luggage, it is hung on a special tag with the "Transfer" marking, which indicates the route and flight numbers. The luggage is loaded on board the aircraft separately, last of all, and is unloaded first. Tracking the transportation of a transfer passenger and its baggage is assigned to a special airport transfer service.
After departing the aircraft from the airport of departure to the airport transfer through the dispatch service, a message is transmitted on the preservation passenger flight.
In the docking point, the representative of the transfer service meets its client and provides him with assistance in the implementation of transplant. In this case, if the time before the next flight is less than 2 hours, the passenger is immediately carried out to the rack, where registration on the docking flight is recorded. In this case, the luggage passenger is not issued, but overload from the board under the control of the transfer service. If the time between flights ranges from 2 to 6 hours, the client declares to the appropriate administrative zone or the waiting area; If over 6 hours remains before the next flight, the transfer service worker offers traveling and accommodation in the hotel for their account.
Since the transfer service is charged with a certain responsibility for organizing this type of transportation, the time interval between the docking flights, in which the transfer service can guarantee a positive feedback is regulated. This time is at least 1.5 hours with docking flights carried out on Russia - Russia and International routes, and at least 2 hours on the routes "Russia -Mourny" and "International-Sprintia".
It should be borne in mind that when docking domestic flights and internal with international (as well as international with internal), the passenger is obliged to register on the same rules as on the initial flight. As for the border and customs control, the order of their passage depends on the sequence of species of routes. So, the passenger arrived with domestic flight and continuing international flight, first customs, and then passport and visa control. The passenger arrived from an international flight and continuing transportation on the internal route is first published, and then customs inspection. The passenger arriving from an international flight and continuing flight on an international flight is offered to go to the transit room, where in the presence of a representative for the transference is carried out by the dispatcher international Airport. In this case, during registration, the passenger is issued a boarding pass with the mark "Transfer from ... to ...".
If the passenger lost docking on the flight of the carrier, the carrier is obliged to transport this passenger with its closest flight, the nearest flight of another carrier, and with a long break in air carriage - provide the customer with food and accommodation at the expense of the airline. In some cases (if it is provided for by the carrier's rules), monetary compensation may be proposed in such a situation.
Let's figure it out that in general this transit, transit flight, transfer?
Transfer - This is the item or transplant points on the way to the final point of the following, the duration of which should not exceed 24 hours.
For example, you fly Ekaterinburg-Prague Barcelona - Czech AirlinesAnd in Prague you arrive at 18-00, and fly to Barcelona at 20-00. Prague - transfer point in this case.
If the stop in the intermediate paragraph is more than 24 hours, then it is already stopped on the way or stopper (StopOver).
We are now interested in a transplant less than 24 hours and at the same time one airline or a / to partners, i.e. transit flight.
Transit Dictionary of Ozhegova
a, m. 1. Transportation of passengers and goods from one point to another through intermediate items.
Those. Transfer is an intermediate point, and transit is transportation through a shuttle.
Often transit flights turn out to be cheaper than straight, because Direct - more in demand, to fly faster, but respectively tickets are more expensive.
But again, not a fact maybe such that the transit flight is more expensive than the line. It happens that direct flight There are no points between items. Then without options)
Transit flight can be two types:
1) In one ticket one or different partner companies
and
2) in different tickets with one or different airlines
The first case is the most preferred, because the airline itself is to put such a flight and selects the docking time at the transfer point, considering how much time it should be enough to pass the transit zone and take customs registration if necessary.
In case of delays, the cancellation of the first flight, the A / K is responsible for the entire transit transit passenger flight. Also, in this case, the baggage is registered from the departure point to the final arrival point, which means that in the transfer point, your luggage will be transported to another aircraft.
Transit flight is any flight made by a minimum of one intermediate transplant or docking in some airport. There are two main options for transit flights: docking and transplants. What is the fundamental differences for the passenger during a transflection at the airport and will you have to take your luggage?
Transit flight is called transfers, if different sites Ways are served by different airlines.
For a docking flight, you buy one ticket in which the transplant is indicated. The airline must provide a safe and timely docking. In this case, the duration of the docking role does not play, it can be both one hour and a few days. Under the transit at the airport is the transplant to the connection flight.
Transfer flight is essentially individual tickets for each path. Responsibility for planning such a flight completely lies on the passenger's shoulders.
Let's analyze the main differences of these two options.
|
Docking flight |
Transfer flight |
|
| check in | Registration is held only once, at the departure airport. | Registration at the departure airport and at the airport of transplant. |
| Baggage | Rent once at the departure airport. In the transit airport, luggage will be taken and serviced by airlines. But there are a number of processes, for example, flight to the United States with a transfer in one of the US cities. We'll have to get a new security check and pass the luggage. |
Rent at the departure airport, it turns out and rewind at the airport of transplant. |
| Passport control | During transplant, passengers do not leave the transit zone, so no additional passport control is required. In the case of a flight to the United States and transplants in one of the US cities, you may need to be addressed to passport control. It is necessary to clarify in the airline how a transplantation will occur. |
Perhaps you have to go several times. The transit zone during the transplant will have to leave in order to get luggage and register to the next flight. |
| Looking hand-cot | You have to go at the airport of departure and airport transplant. | |
| Time for transplant | If you are late for a connecting flight due to the delay of the first flight, the airline is required to provide food and overnight if the next flight will have to wait for the night. | Responsibility for the transplant completely lies on the shoulders of the passenger. There will be no reimbursement from the airline in case of late flight. |
| Ability not to use the second section of the path | The ticket becomes not valid in appearance on any of the tracks. | You can only use the first half of the path, the tickets are separate. But you need to remember that if you do not fly to the side "there", "back" to fly about this tickets will not work. |
What if you have separate tickets with a change, and you cannot exit the transit zone?
In this case, you need to contact the airport staff and explain the situation. Registration on the flight can be done online or inside transit zoneAnd the airport staff will receive your luggage and attach tags with the new destination airport. I had such a situation at Tokyo Airport. There were no difficulties, but took more time than I expected.
Why buy individual tickets in general, if everything is so difficult with them? Here the answer is unequivocal - ticket price and the ability to buy a transit ticket as such. In addition, if necessary, pass or exchange a ticket for one section of the path is much simpler if a ticket for it is separate.
I want to say that if you yourself are to blame for the fact that you did not have time for a flight, while the airline provided all the possibilities, you will have to solve your problems yourself. By the way, the baggage will most likely fly away. So be careful and follow the time regardless of the type of ticket.
