If you exclude a completely understandable excitement with a likely delay of flights and the time of the docking of flights it is not so terrible. In addition, some remote corners of the planet without a transplant is simply not to get.

It is best to choose flights with one airline to fly with docking and avoid extra difficulties. In this case, the passenger will immediately register on both (or more) flight and do not worry about the luggage: it will automatically shut from one aircraft to another. Often register the luggage to the end point from the very beginning, you can even with a trip to different airlines: if they enter into one Alliance or have entered an interline agreement.

If you fly the same company to fly, you should choose the transplant option with a sufficient time difference in order to catch the second flight, even if the first detain. Experienced travelers advise to divert 2-3 hours, international Standards Recommend the whole 4. Although there were cases when tourists had time to reconcile in 25 minutes, but this, of course, is another adventure.

Each takeoff, each landing, the passage of customs and passport control is very tiring the body. In addition, a few hours of waiting are added to real time (sometimes you have to spend about 30 hours without sleep). It is worth thinking about such a load in advance and soberly appreciate your strength. Perhaps it is worth paying for tickets a little more, but then it's not to fade from fatigue for the first three days of vacation?

It is advisable to try to buy tickets so that arriving in the city of transplant and departure from it from the same airport. For example, in Moscow, three airports and moving from one to another will take a sufficient amount of time. If this option for some reason was impossible, it is worth considering the time that will be needed to pick up luggage and get to the other airport.

It is necessary to know in advance whether it is necessary to make a transit visa for the country in which the transplant is made (see information at the bottom).

If you want to walk around the city during a transplant, and there is no time to make a transit visa or just laziness, then you should choose the country into which Russians can enter without additional documents. For example, in can be 96 hours.

If the vacation is planned in one of the countries, for transplanting it is also worth choosing the "Schengen" country - the main visa will be valid and there, if this state fully applies the EU Schengen legislation.

If you still have to fly by several airlines and independently register for each of the flights, it is best to do this in advance: on the Internet (online registration usually opens in 12 hours, or even a day) or immediately after arrival (in major airports With great traffic there is such a service). It will save from standing in queues and will help save time.

We must be prepared for the fact that the luggage can be lost. This is infrequent, but it happens. You can take with you in manual jack A small bag and fold all the values, as well as clothes for a couple of days, medicines and other necessary things to, if that, normally exist while the suitcase is looking for. In 90% of cases lost baggage Return within 2-3 days and deliver directly to the hotel.

It is useful to study the airport scheme in advance in which the first aircraft arrives at what terminal comes from where the next one is going to go from the arrival zone to the departure zone where you need to pass and get baggage. This is especially true for major international airports with large quantity Terminals.

If something is incomprehensible, always it is better to ask about it with the airport staff. If there is an insecurity in their knowledge of foreign languages, it is recommended to record several main phrases in English and the language of the country of transplant in advance, which will help you not get lost at the airport and correctly sit on your flight.

When leaving the first aircraft, you need to immediately look for a pointer with the word transit and follow it (if only this is not the US or Australia, it will need to go all the way again). This will avoid unnecessary formalities with passport control and save time. It is worth considering that transplanting through transit zone You can only do if you do not need to pick up luggage: it is not (only manual sting, which is with you) or it immediately directed to the destination. All due to the fact that the tape of receiving luggage on the path of the arriving passenger is traditionally behind the passport control line (but before the customs).

If everything is prepared in advance and on the hands there are already all the landing coupons, do not forget to look at the scoreboard: the output number may unexpectedly change when the flight delay or for some other reasons.

What if the first aircraft is late? In case of a flight, it is fully responsible for the arrival of the passenger to the destination route and is obliged to send it to the closest flight - his own or other carrier. If on the schedule on this day of flights at the right direction there is no more, the passenger must be placed on the hotel night and send to the right city the next day.

If the passenger flies with different carriers, then in the event of a significant delay in the flight at the airport, he should contact the first airline route rack to make a special mark on the flight. Then it will be necessary to show at the airline rack, on the flight of which the passenger is late. If on this day there are places for suitable flights, the tourist will be sent one of them, if not - the flight will be transferred the next day. In this case, the hotel accommodation is most likely to pay for himself.

Registration of transit visa

• Typically, a transit visa is required if tourists have a lot of time on a transplant and they are going to go to the city or even spend the night there.
• You will also need a visa if there will have to go from one airport in another or stopping along the way (for example, St. Petersburg - Cologne - Hamburg - Rio de Janeiro), since the second portion of the flight happens already inside the Schengen and The passenger will need to cross the border to get to the Flight Cologne - Hamburg.
• If the passengers are not going to leave the territory of the airport, the transplant takes less than 24 hours and the stop along the way will be only one, the transit visa in Schengen countries is not needed.

But of all the rules there are exceptions.

• So, for example, Berlin airport does not have its own transit zone, so if the capital is not the end item of travel and the flight is carried out not by Air Berlin, you will have to get a transit visa. Transit to "Nezhensky countries" is allowed in Germany only through airports of Frankfurt am Main, Munich, Hamburg, Cologne, Düsseldorf, and then it is not open around the clock.
• In American international Airports And there is no transit zone at all, so it will have to receive anyway.
• Similar situation in Australia: Citizens Russian Federation In any case, the transit should be obtained - regardless of whether they leave the transit zone or not and how long they are located in the country.
• Read more about the presence of a transit zone in a particular airport can be found on the website of the International Association air transport (IATA).
• Transit visas are single, two- or reusable, depending on how many times the tourist is allowed to cross the borders of the state. But in any case, the time of each transit visit, during which a foreigner may remain in the territory of the Schengen state, should not exceed three days (72 hours).

To obtain a transit visa, it is usually required to provide the following documents to the embassy:

Most travelers consider a transplant painfully boring delay. However, maybe differently! Try to think about transplanting as an additional travel bonus that will allow you to get into an unfamiliar world and explore it, even if it is just within the airport. The transplant can be a positive experience that will give you the opportunity to get acquainted with new people and see unusual things for you. Perhaps the time between flights will be a productive part of your business trip or extension. It is likely that you will never be delighted with transplants, but there are many ways to make them more demolished.

Steps

Preparing for the upcoming transplant

Explore the airport in which there will be a transplant. If you book a docking ticket, prepare in advance by studying the information on the airport site. Find out if there are restaurants, shops or other places where you can pass time. At some airports (usually in large cities) there are theaters, museums, gyms and even playgrounds for kids.

• If you have a map on the site, print it and place the places you want to see.

1. Examine baggage storage options. Being on the airport site, see if there is a luggage storage service for transplant time. Many airports provide such an opportunity, and it is very convenient because you do not have to walk everywhere with suitcases, especially if you leave the airport to inspect a couple of local attractions.

   • Usually this service is not free. However, most likely it will cost. It all depends on how long the transplant lasts and what you plan to do during it.

2. Join the VIP club of the airline. In major airports, most airlines have business rooms for VIP members or recreation rooms, where you can enjoy a relaxing, luxurious setting in combination with food and drinks. VIP clubs also provide services to those who need the office away from the office. " For example, reliable Wi-Fi access and comfortable places With a table where you can put your laptop and working materials.

   Take into manual sting what you will need during the transplantation. If you plan to finish some work, capture the laptop and other necessary items. Pack sports shorts and shirts if there is gym. Add a couple of small toiletries so that you can refresh yourself before boarding the next flight. The ability to wash and clean your teeth during a long transplantation can have a huge impact on your well-being.

   Disassemble email, make homework or work causes. Take a laptop and take advantage of the free access to the wireless Internet if it is available at the airport (most often, there is). Finally, you can unrest all the letters that intended to send, and make concluding edits for the upcoming important presentation.

   • If you learn, start writing an essay specified next week, or try to read a pair of heads of the book from the list for home reading.

3. Make a list of cases at the time of your arrival at the destination. It doesn't matter whether you are on a business trip, to rest or somewhere else, most likely you will need to make a bunch of things upon arrival. During the expectation, make a list to not lose a second!

   • Include in the list all the orders and other necessary things, but do not forget to highlight some time to inspect the attractions or even just for rest.

4. Find out whether you can change your flight. At the airport docking, consult with your airline representative to find out if you can change the flight. Perhaps you will get free to transfer to an earlier or late flight in the presence of free places. If you are not limited to the temporary framework and really want to explore the city or the area where the transplant passes, think about to give your place and take a later flight.

   • It is not always possible, but if there is such a chance, use it!

We take time

1. Take something to read. If you are expected to transplant, take a book or magazine with you. If you have nothing to read, learn the range of stores at the airport and buy something there. Choose what will swallow your attention. Immersed in reading, you will not notice how fast time will fly! Keep a few options at hand so that if you wish, you can switch from one to another.

   • For example, buy your favorite magazine to distract from a serious novel. If you will change the fiction from time to time, you do not borrow, because even from the most exciting thriller you can get tired.

2. Saving. Lady sleep is a great way to pass time, especially during the night transplant. Even fast, 20-30 minute sleep will help you cheer up. If you are traveling not alone, ask your companions to post your things while you sleep. If you are going on your own, be careful because thefts happen at airports.

   • Some airports have equipped zones for sleep with comfortable chairs, where you can not worry about the safety of your things.
   • If you are very tired, and ahead of the long docking, learn the price per room at the airport hotel. Some airports even have rooms that you can rent for several hours.

3. Go around. If you have a transplant between two long flights, walk through the airport and restore blood circulation in your feet. Many airports have exposures or exhibitions available for passengers. In addition, shop windows or local billboards can be studied, watching airplanes or just familiarize yourself with the area and find a way to the next flight. If you have the opportunity to go out into the street and raise the fresh air.

   Bake, walk or snack. Many airports have restaurants and bistro, even within the control zone. Food shakes you with energy. In addition, on Earth, it will be tastier than on board the aircraft. During the trip, the body very quickly loses moisture, so buy a bottle-other of your favorite drink.

4. Watch over the surrounding. At the airport you have a unique opportunity to observe people from all over the world, representing a variety of cultures. Sit in a crowded place and see what other travelers are engaged. You, no doubt, see a couple of exotic characters that you would never have met under other circumstances.

   • Try not to look at people too open and do not make your occupation obvious. It can cause a person an awkwardness or even excite a suspicion.
   • If you notice someone interesting, go and get to know him if you consider it appropriate. At a good conversation, time will fly imperceptibly.

One of the frequent questions of lovers to travel through the air is: "How is the transfers with a transfer?". It is really interesting, because every second tourist faced in his life with the flights with docking. What you need to know which subtleties exist in such flights? Let's go deep and find out all about transit flights.

What does the flight with a transfer mean?

Flight with a change implies an intermediate point between the airport of departure and the ultimate purpose of the destination. For example, you need to get from St. Petersburg to Orenburg. First, there is only one direct flight. You can choose it and fly by the airline "Russia", but the problem is that the ticket costs 2 times more than on flights with a transfer.

Transit flights

There are different. Consider two possible Event Development Options:

1. All flights are carried out by one air carrier or partner airlines. In this case, you can receive all the necessary information from them. For example, buying a ticket S7 on the Internet, on the official website you will see information about the minimum docking time you need to know. It is S7 that takes responsibility for finding flights. If you do not have time to transplant, you will not be left in trouble: it will offer to settle in the nearby hotel and will put on another plane by the next flight.
2. Flights are performed by different airlines. How is the transfers with a transfer? Luggage, registration, the consequences of the delay of the aircraft - in this case everything lies with you. If you for any reason are late for a plane, you will have to buy a ticket to another flight again.

Always think in advance all possible circumstances and situations that can happen to you. If the transplant is made in the other airport of the city, do not forget about what you need at least 2 hours to make relocation. Consider traffic jams (if it is a megapolis or big City), Accident and other.

Benefits of transit flights

Many tourists choose exactly the flights with a change. Reviews about them are various, both positive and negative. Let's consider in more detail that people say often flying on airplanes with docking.

With transplant cheaper

One of the main advantages of transit flights is an affordable price.

For example, you want to get from Moscow to Seoul. Direct flight Inchaeon Airport costs 22 thousand rubles. We study the prices of flights with a transfer:

• Transfer at Tolmachevo Airport in Novosibirsk. Airline S7 Airlines (Russia). Benefit price - 17 thousand rubles.
• Transplant in Istanbul. Airline Turkish Airlines (Turkey). The price of a ticket - 17,500 rubles.
• Two transplants: in Belgrade and Abu Dhabi. Airlines Air. and ETIHAD AIRWAYS (United United Arab Emirates). The price of a ticket - 18900 rubles.

As we see, even with two transfers to fly to Seoul cheaper than to take a ticket for a direct flight.

Availability of alternative

What to do in the situation with Orenburg, if only one flight is carried out before your destination? People are accustomed to an alternative. Tourists want to choose flight on the basis of departure time and arrival, having luggage and hand baggage, airport, air carrier, ticket prices. And here again, transit flights will be rescued.

Only decision

Sometimes it is impossible to buy a ticket to the city you want to visit. For example, because it is too far located. Then come to the rescue transit flights.

• For example, you wish to get to Sochi from Nizhnevartovsk in the fall. But direct flights in this area are carried out only in the summer.

How to get to Sochi from Siberia with transfers?

• Several airlines are sold from Nizhnevartovsk to Moscow: Aeroflot, S7 Airlines, Uteeir, North Wind.
• Now you can fly to Sochi at any time. From Moscow, flights are performed regularly.
• You can also fly to Sochi from Tyumen, coming there from Nizhnevartovsk. The flight is carried out by the airline "UTEIR".

Differences in transit flights

There are docking and transplant flights. Let's deal with what the difference is between them:

1. In a docking flight: You get one transit ticket and several boarding coupons. Registration Pass once (at the first airport of departure). Passport controls will take place again (in the Changeline Airport) is not required, you will not leave the transit zone. You do not even think about the baggage, it will accurately take into another plane. If you are required to provide food and overnight, as well as plan to another plane, departing later by the same direction.
2. In the transplant route: you have two (or more) individual tickets in your hands. Registration takes place in every airport of transplant. You need to go through passport and other controls several times (meaning in each airport). You yourself take and pass your luggage again. In the event of a flight delay, the whole responsibility lies on your shoulders.

It is very important to know the difference in order not to get into the awkward situation when buying a ticket.

Luggage with docking

Probably, every person is interested in what to do with luggage. How is the transfers with a change in this case?

• If you have a single ticket (flights are performed by one air carrier, this docking flight) You need to register your luggage to the final point, while at the first airport of departure. Next, it will be delivered to the next aircraft. You will not need to pick up the suitcase.
• In the event that you need to change the airport for transplant, leave the luggage cannot be left. It follows him.
• You will need to pick up luggage and register it again only if you are transported things to be declared.
• If you have two or a few tickets, you need to take care of your luggage yourself.
• Also, the airline may refuse to transport luggage to the plane and offer it to do you, but only if the airport does not have the desired technique.

How is the transfers with a transfer? Aeroflot warns that if your baggage is registered only to Moscow, then you need to get it yourself and register it again to the final point.

Visa with transit flight

This is a very important point associated with documents. It is necessary to specify it even before the start of the journey. So, do you need a visa with a transfer with a transfer?

• If your flight is carried out from the same airport in which you arrived, or at least the terminal, then you do not need a transit visa.
• Also, you will not need a visa if you do not need to get luggage.

You just wait for your flight to you do not pass migration or any other control on which you have a visa.

What situations are the transit visa need?

• If you are flying by plane with a transplant and you need to change the airport.
• If you have two or more transplants in the Schengen zone. How then happens with a transfer, if there is no visa? Subscribe it at the Embassy of the country hosting the first transplant.
• If the terminal that serves your next flight is located so that you must go outside to go to it (it can be in another area), then you need a visa.
• Transplantation will occur in the UK. If its duration is from 24 to 48 hours, you need to place Visitor in Transit Visa. If from 48 hours - you will need an ordinary transit visa.
• If you fly on different two (or more) tickets. For example, from Kazan in Riga, and from there to Milan. You need a visa to get a luggage and register for another flight.
• If the country of arrival is US, Canada, Australia. In these countries, the visa is needed even if you are just in

Transplant time

It is extremely important to remember that the transplant sometimes takes a lot of time. Moreover, your first aircraft can stay. In order not to worry if you manage to dock or not, we advise you to choose tickets correctly:

• Optimal option In case you fly by one company - have a ticket with a transfers with a duration of at least two hours.
• Consider human factor: You can get tired or confused due to excitement.
• Many airports are bad navigation. Not all tourists can easily understand where to go.
• Do not forget about the time you spend when passing to the gate, and then on board.

If you fly by two companies that are not partners, then the ideal time of docking is at least three hours. Add time to get baggage, registration, passing control points.

Would you like to fly on the plane for 18 hours? Or would choose a flight with a transfer?

• The longest flight directly made the airline Singapore Airlines.. Flight tickets are sold from May 31, 2018.
• Flight New York - Singapore is noreenticious and lasts 18.5 hours. In the opposite direction (Singapore - New York) Time on the way is 17 h. 50 min.
• A plane ticket can be bought for $ 1130 (74315 rubles).
• The route itself will open on October 11, 2018. It will be regular.
• To date, this is the most distant flight in the world.
• This airline has already been such a flight that was closed in 2013 due to the fact that the aircraft serving flights was removed from the park. aircraft (Airbus A340).
• Previously, the flight of New York - Singapore was committed by the same company "Singapore Eirls", but with docking in Frankfurt.
• Now the flight will serve the flight AIRBUS A350. Business class accommodates 67 seats, economy - 94 places.
• The distance between New York and Singapore is 16,700 kilometers (9000 nautical miles).

Would you dare to fly on this ultimate plane, overcoming in eighteen and a half hours almost seventeen thousand kilometers?

1. Purchase a ticket with a transplant one ticket. Then you do not have to worry during the flight, do you manage to the next flight or not. Why spoil yourself impressions of the flight? Enjoy them and do not think about anything else.
2. Thoroughly think about how much time you need to transplant. Especially if you fly in this way for the first time.
3. Learn about the details of your route. Does moving to another terminal? Maybe even at another airport? Examine what methods can be reached there. Other airports or terminals in Paris and London are especially prescribed to transfers.
4. Think in advance that you will do during the transplantation. If the docking lasts about 3-4 hours, take with you to the manual sting book or tablet. They will help you to cope with boredom. If your transplant lasts more than four hours, it would be advisable to spend all this time in the Lounge Zone. This room increased comfortwhere you can offer food, drinks and Wi-Fi. The more hours you will be there, the less you pay for the service.
5. Think where you will sleep in the event of a long night transplant. You can book a room in the nearest airport.
6. Specify in advance whether you need to make a visa for transplant. Even if not, you can make it at least in order to walk around the city.

Take into account these tips, and your flights will be as comfortable as possible.

Conclusion

So, today we learned with you, how are flights with a transfer. They found out how things are luggage, which are transit flights. Now you know exactly how to organize the perfect flight with docking. Travel more!

Provide a transplant. Unfortunately, some of it scares it, and despite the more favorable price, they acquire a dear, but direct flight.

Passengers worries if they will pass? How to find your plane? Do I need to take luggage and pass passport control?

And now we turn to the transplant ...

Your actions depend on one of your ticket (for example, Moscow-Berlin-London) or two different (and Berlin-London).

Transfer with one air ticket

At the airport of departure, when registering for a flight, you will get 2 landing coupons at once. One, on the flight from the airport departure to the place of transit and the second, from the transit airport to the destination. Keep both landing next to the passport and try not to lose them.

You will find all the necessary information on the landing coupon: flight number, gate and your place in the cabin.

Coming out from the airplane at the airport of transplant, move the signs with the inscription "Transfer" or "Transit".

If your destination is not Country Shengen and at the airport there is a special transit zone, then you will fall into the hall for transit passengers, where you will expect the next flight.

If there is no transit zone, or your destination is one of the countries that are included in Schengen, then by arrival you will immediately pass passport control. Please note that you have appropriate visas. More information about transit visas when they are needed and when not read.

Finding into the hall for transit passengers, check the data of the landing coupon with the information board. Gate number and departure time can change. Next, move the signs to the desired gay.

To avoid trouble in transplanting, first of all locate your gate and only after that go for a walk by Duty Free. and restaurants.

If there is a lot of time between flights, you can pass it in Loneg. Sometimes it is cheaper than lunch at the airport restaurant.

Do not forget to periodically look at the information board, the gate number and departure time can change at any time.

If you are lost, do not hesitate to clarify information from the airport staff.

Concerning baggage, if you have been issued one ticket to the entire route, then the luggage will need to receive only on arrival at the destination. If you need it before, for example, in order to change clothes, then ask for this when registering on the flight.

The time required for transplant depends on the airport. In some sufficient 20 minutes, in others and one and a half hours there will be little. But do not worry if you bought a pass-through ticket, even with a short docking, then everything is already calculated by the airline and if the aircraft departure can not be detained, you will have time.

If the time to the flight remains quite a bit, then the staff of some airlines meet such passengers right at the exit from the aircraft or the bus and accompany the next flight.

Transplanting with two separate tickets

If you yourself combined your route and on hand 2 separate tickets, then you are not considered a transit passenger. At the airport of transplants you should pick up your luggage from the tape and go to the output signposts (EXIT). Then register on the flight and pass the luggage.

The transplant time should be taken with a reserve, because in case of a flight delay, you will not receive a compensation or a new ticket for being late for the next aircraft.

Will liquid bought in Duty Free during transplantation?

Frequently arise questions with goods purchased in Duty Free. Unambiguous answer, is it possible to carry liquids bought in stores duty free trade Another country, no. It depends on the airport and the country of transit. You can read this in more detail in the article about manual sting or ask a specific question in the comments.

Transit flight: All you wanted to know, but were afraid to ask

The ability to save, stroll around the city or thirst for adventure - the reasons why we choose flights with a transfer, there is a great set. Here are just questions, in those who fly in this way for the first time, no less arise.

Who is this article?

• for beginner travelers;
• for those who first encountered a transit flight;
• for those who worry that he may not have enough time to change;

What is my type of transplant?

The first thing to find out, encountered with a transit flight, which type of transplant to you will have.

Transits are different. For example, you may have single ticketWhen the whole flight (including transplant) serves one airline. This is the most convenient option, since the carrier in this case is responsible for shipping the passenger to the destination. And if, let's say, they detained the flight on the first segment and you did not have time to the second segment, then you will be obliged to plant the same company. If the transplant time exceeds 8 hours, some carriers (for example, Emirates and Qatar Airways.) Provide passengers in the hotel. Luggage will also register and deliver to the end point of the route. Additionally register, having such a ticket, no need.

1 /1

Another option is the so-called Code SheringWhen you buy a single ticket from one carrier, but part of the way fly by the partner company. In this case, you will also be registered with the luggage to the destination and you organize a transplant. The only difference is that, in the event of unforeseen situations (damage / loss of baggage, etc.), all claims must be submitted to a partner company. Note: With this type of flight, the name of the additional carrier may not be indicated in the ticket.

There is still such a thing as interline Agreement - An agreement between airlines, at which one carrier recognizes another tickets. That is, one company can sell you the other tickets. The bottom line is that this method allows you to buy a single ticket at a more favorable price than if you bought several separate. Often there are special rates on such flights.

Important! In the tickets of this type, all carriers are always indicated. Luggage registration will also be done until the end of the flight, but it needs to be asked separately. Sometimes it is necessary to get a ticket to the next segment of the path when transplanting is also worth it in mind.

1 /1

Well, the last option is a few separate tickets. Many consider it the most inconvenient, since in this case you will have to take and re-register the luggage at the change point, as well as re-undergo registration for the next segment of the route. In case of being late for a flight, most likely, you will need to buy a new ticket. Yes, and the price of such a combined flight is often higher than in other cases. Therefore, if you still decided to fly in this way, take care that you had time to change the transplantation with a reserve (it makes sense to be reinforced and fly out of the transplant item the next day).

And what to do with the louctoros? Let us clarify immediately - at Loupesostrov, in principle there are no transfers. The routes that are offered by the sites aggregators, including TripMydream, are routes consisting of two or more individual flights. Therefore, in the case of leukelet-flights, all responsibility for the safety of baggage, and your arrival in the destination is exclusively at you.

Transit visa. When is it needed?

We warn you immediately - this moment needs to be clarified before buying tickets. Usually, the transit visa is not needed if your next flight leaves from the same airport and terminal to which you arrived, and if you do not need to get luggage. Then you just wait for the next aircraft in the transit zone of the airport, without passing migration control.

But, if we are talking about a transplant in the UK, be on a check. Very often travelers, seduced by a low price, buy flights with a transfer to London. For example, Ryanair always has a lot of flight offers to different cities of Europe in the most low prices It is with transfers to Stansteda or Luton, and then they are simply not allowed to fly due to the lack of a transit visa.

But the transit visa is issued if:

• You fly with a transplant and you need to change the airport.
• When transplanting you need to change the terminal, and for this purpose - to go to the city (the departure terminal is in another area, for example).
• You need to do two or more transplants in the Schengen zone. In this case, the transit visa is drawn up at the embassy of the first country.
• Your transplant will occur in the UK (provided that its duration will be 24-48 hours). Then you need to design a Visitor in Transit Visa in advance. But if the transplant will last more than 48 hours, you will need the usual Transit Visa.
• You fly along two different tickets (let's say, from in and from London B). Then you need a visa to get a luggage and register for the next flight.

Important! Some countries (for example, and) require a transit visa to even simply for finding the airport in the transit zone.

With a luggage, a separate story, because it is obtained already after passing the migration control. Therefore, make sure that your suitcases are registered before the end of the trip, and you yourself have the right to be in the country of transplant without a visa.

1 /1

Another important nuance touches the transfers themselves. First, they are not at all airports. Secondly, they are not always working in 24/7 mode, if you fly late in the evening and fly in the morning, and the airport does not work at night, you will have to take care of a place for overnight stays and make a pre-Schengen transit. This is the most uncomfortable option, because you think about your action plan in advance so that you do not close on the bench.

I arrived at the airport of transplant. What's next?

If you fly with a transfer for the first time, then the main rule is Keep Calm and Carry ON. Do not be nervous, your gate and the plane will not go anywhere and you quietly fly further, do not even doubt it!

So, you flew to a change point. What's next? First, your tickets and documents should always be with you to check the data in them at any time (the time of departure of the flight, Gate, Terminal, etc.) with the information board of the airport and without delay to make before planting.

1 /1

If you fly on a single ticket, after arriving at the airport of transplants, follow the signs with the mark "Transfer" / "Transit" - on them you can easily find the transit zone, where you will wait for the next flight. Immediately find your flight on the board of information and specify the departure time, gate number and other information (sometimes it can change). We also advise you to immediately find your gate to know where to go landing, but only then go to walk around the airport.

Please note that if you fly to one of the countries of the Schengen Agreement, you will need to pass passport control immediately after arrival. A similar procedure will have to go through the one who flies with two separate ticketsSince in that case you do not enter the category of transit passengers. Upon arrival you will need to pick up your luggage, proceed to reception desks (pointers to help you!) And re-register, re-passing the luggage.

Stop. And the baggage takes or deliver it?

It depends on the type of ticket. If this is a single ticket, then you can register luggage to the end point and do not worry about this at all. But if you need to change the airport when transplanting, you may need to pick up and recording baggage, even having a single ticket. Therefore, be sure to check it on luggage registration.

Long transplant. Things to do?

If your transplant takes 3-4 hours from strength, you can safely skip this item. But it happens that waiting for the next flight has a long time. If you can go to the city and the airport itself is not so far away from it - go for a walk. Best way We will not come up with time. Pre-make a larger plan with a list of places you want to see, and calculate how much time you need to get from the airport to the city and back, plus the time of stay in the city, and throw for more than half an hour. So sure!
