How is the transfer at the airport
Sometimes it happens that there are no direct flights to the chosen air route. This is especially true for flights to very long distances. Then you need to buy a ticket with transfers at the airport.
Instructions
1
When you make an air ticket in one place, allthe route is considered one transportation (even if the carriers are different). Therefore, if one of the flights is late and the docking is broken, then the responsibility for this lies with the airline, which is obliged to deliver to the destination in any way. However, please note that flights with transplants are of different categories.
2
Flight with a transfer by one airline, whenthe final points do not lie within the same customs area. For example, a flight to Bali via Bangkok. In this case, the passenger and luggage are registered immediately to the final destination. Therefore, at the transit airport you do not need to receive luggage and register for the next flight. You just need to move from one plane to another. Important nuance: the airline along the entire route should be the same.
3
Flight with transfer when the final itemsroute lie in the same customs area. For example, flight from Krasnoyarsk (Russia) through Moscow (Russia) to the United States. In this case, the passenger and luggage is registered only to the first point (Moscow), then he receives the luggage himself, again passes the passport and customs control, independently registers on his next flight and again surrenders the luggage. Some airlines still carry luggage from the flight to the flight without the participation of the passenger.

Flight with a transplant involving severalairlines. In this case, the passenger and luggage are registered for the flight of one company. At the point of transfer, the passenger receives his luggage, registers for the flight of another company, reissues his luggage, passes passport control. That is, the transplant is carried out independently. The airline does not render any assistance. To find the registration desk on the itinerary, you may need to know the English language, since you will need to navigate at the airports following the signs: Connecting fligts, Transit passangers and others.
5
Transfer from the flight to the flight takes place at the airport. Therefore, a transit visa to another country is not needed. And only flights through countries such as the US and Australia are prohibited without a transit visa. Keep in mind that a transit visa allows you to stay in the country for only 24 hours. For a longer stay, you need to get a regular visa.
6
Small airports have only one terminal. In the absence of a queue for customs and passport control, the transplant is carried out very quickly. If the airport is very large, there are several terminals in it. Take into account the time for movement, because often travel between terminals can take 20-30 minutes.
