I am a student from China. I'm going to attend Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. I have planned my itinerary, where I will first take a flight from Shanghai to Los Angeles, then I will take another flight from LA to Pittsburgh (layover in Boston). Is there any issue at port of entry with this schedule?

I am a girl in my early twenties traveling to USA from India and in my visa application I have provided the contact address for a relative in San Francisco, and their invitation letter. I would like to visit LA first. Will I face problems during immigration if I land in LA (with an immediate on wards ticket to SF)? I dont plan to get on the flight from LA to SFO.  Initially I was planning to fly to SFO from India and then fly to LA immediately after completing immigration at SFO airport.

I'm heading to India next week and have a connection in Munich, Germany. I made the mistake of booking a flight with only an hour and a half layover (freaking out!) and I'm wondering if I'll have to go through customs in Munich or if I can pass right on through.

I am flying from the USA to Switzerland with a one way ticket. I will also be flying from Switzerland to Spain and be traveling around in Europe but I do not have a return ticket because I am not sure from which country I will be departing from. Would this be an issue for the airlines?  I am flying through American Airlines and Iberia.

I am a Yemen citizen and want to travel from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Muscat, Oman as follows:   Kuala Lumpur to Mumbai via Malindo Air 5 hour 40 minutes layover before connection Mumbai to Muscat via Oman Air   I am traveling with two flights that are booked separately. Is the connection time enough and do I need a transit visa for Mumbai ?   If I book on Skyscanner with the same two airlines, does it work the same if I book the same flights myself?

As I will be travelling to the US in July, I was thinking of buying two graphics cards (R9 390X) over there and bring them back to Switzerland, as computer components are mostly a bit cheaper over there.  I know that the US has some really high security standards regarding international flights. If I take these two GPU's in my carry-on luggage (so they don't break), how would a security officer at LAX react when they see those Graphics cards? I do realise that most people don't actually know what a GPU is or how it looks like. So I am concerned that a security officer might take them from me at an airport when trying to board an international flight.  Believe it or not, I read some really strange stories in forums from people that claim the security officer did not know what a GPU is and thought it might be some sort of a bomb.  Note: By "GPU" I am referring to the whole graphics card (with circuit board, coolers, etc.) and not just the processing unit.

I will be travelling from Udaipur to Bangalore via connecting flights. My first flight will land in Mumbai at 8:15 AM and the second one will depart from Mumbai at 8:45 AM. Both are Jet Airways flights.   Actually these tickets have been provided to me by my employer. I shared my concern with them that the layover time is very short, and the chances of missing flights are high. But they are saying that Jet Airways will make sure that I make it to the second flight. But still I have my doubts.   Can you please tell me if this is a fine arrangement. Thanks in advance.

I'm considering two Miami - Zürich flights, which connect at New York. Both start MIA - JFK, but one continues with JFK - ZRH and the other with LGA - ZRH.  If I check my luggage at Miami, and take a cab from JFK to LGA, will I have to carry my bags and re-check them at LGA, or does the airline do this?  The cost difference (two people) is ~120 USD total. How much is the taxi, normally? Is an airport change worth the hassle?

I'm worried as it's my first trip on my own. All my flights are American Airlines and I have connections at Raleigh/Durham and at Chicago O'Hare, however there are no terminal changes, just connection times of under 2 hours, so will my luggage be automatically transferred plane to plane? or will I need to re-check them?

Say I want to book a flight from Fort Lauderdale to Chicago.  Say the airline also flies to St. Louis from Fort Launderdale but has a connecting flight through Chicago.  If I book that flights from FLL->ORD->STL and just get off in Chicago, what possible problems can I run into, assuming I didn't check any bags and only have carry on?  This scenario exist for Southwest, but I wanted this be more of a general question that would apply to all airlines.

My wife, a Chinese citizen living in the United Kingdom under a spousal visa, will be travelling from London to Beijing next summer. She has a layover at Boryspil Airport for a little over 4 hours. She is flying both into and out of the airport with Ukraine International Airlines, which  says that all of its flights arrive and depart from Terminal D. I  that a transit visa is needed for Chinese citizens. However, I also read that , but no evidence seems to be offered for that claim. Is a transit visa required if she stays in Terminal D for the entirety of the layover? If not, where are the official sources stating that staying in the terminal is permissible without such a visa?

I have a visa appointment this Friday 19 at the Italian Consulate in Philadelphia and I have a question about the flight reservation requirement: According to the Visa requirements "Confirmed flight reservation for a round trip showing complete itinerary."  Does this mean I have to reserve the tickets, pay and print the itinerary?  In this case if my visa gets denied then I will lose the money I paid or can I just show the planned itinerary (written not booked)? in this case the travel agency would not give me the Travel Insurance coverage until I book and pay for the reservation.   I am a US green card holder and applying from North Carolina.

I am planning a flight from Atlanta, Georgia to Manila, departing Monday, March 13th.  I want to catch the flight to Manila at 11:54 am out of JFK.  The earliest flight i could find getting into jfk from atl arrives at 10:27am.  Is that cutting it too close?  The other option is to fly into LGA.  There is a flight that arrives in LGA by 8:10 am.  Is that  enough time to go by taxi from LGA to JFK and arrive at JFK by around 10 am on a monday morning?  If I buy the ticket, does that mean the carrier(s) have left enought time for the transfer?

I'll be traveling to Memphis, Tennessee form New Delhi, India via Qatar Airways.  The itinerary would be: New Delhi &lt;--> Doha || Doha &lt;--> Chicago || Chicago &lt;--> Memphis  Would I be required to claim and re-check my baggage at Chicago even though all the flights were booked with Qatar Airways or can I check it in all the way from New Delhi to Memphis without re-checking in the baggage again?
