I'm connecting from an incoming international flight (Hong Kong - LA) to a domestic flight (LA - Austin) at LAX. Both flights are with American Airlines, booked under one ticket. I have a 2 hour layover, and I have Global Entry.  Will I pass through immigration and customs at LA or Austin? Will I need to check out my luggage at LAX and check them back in?

I'm flying to the USA, from Australia, through LAX and catching a connecting flight 6 hours later, think it's the same ticket, booked all at once. I've never traveled before, and I'm wondering what happens with customs.   Do I collect my bags at LAX so they can be checked? Do I have to check in at every airport or is it all done when I catch the first flight? There are 4 flights on my itinerary.

I have a valid ESTA.  If my visa waiver 90 days end on August 1, and I have a ticket leaving the US on the same day, would it be OK or should I purchase a ticket a day before?

My travel route:  Singapore (origin) --> Hong Kong (transit) --> Seoul, South Korea (destination)  I am flying Cathay Pacific, and I am holding a Bangladeshi passport. I am getting conflicting information from various websites. The Cathay Pacific website states that we don't need a transit visa if we are flying CX all the way. However, the HK immigration web page says everyone needs a transit visa. Could anyone advise please? Thanks.

I am from NZ and have spent 90 days in the USA with an ESTA visa waiver, and I am going to Canada before returning to NZ. My return flight is from LA but I have already used my 90 days of my ESTA and have not technically 'left' North America (Canada apparently doesn't count). My question is, how do I catch my return flight from LA? Can I get another ESTA even though I haven't left North America?

I have a flight from Madrid to Aalborg with a stop in Amsterdam. The connection time betweeen the flight from Amsterdam and Aalborg it´s 1 hour and a half. The thing is that I want to stay in Amsterdam for a week and I want to pick up my checked in luggage at the Amsterdam airport. Can I do that if the flight it´s with the same company (KLM for instance) ?  I mean I can tell them that I want to pick up my luggage in Amsterdam right?

I have a flight from Bangalore, India to Manila, Philippines via Bangkok. It’s with the same airline (Thai Airways) but I will have to spend 10 hours in the airport at Bangkok for the connecting flight to Manila. Do I need a transit visa for Bangkok? Also, do I have to pass through immigration with luggage at Bangkok? I don’t have a visa for the Philippines as I will be staying there for a week. I have an Indian passport and a UK standard visit visa.

Is 1h25' enough time to go through customs and immigration in CLT (coming from Rome Fiumicino) before a connecting domestic flight? I have an Italian passport and I am not an US citizen or resident.  If the answer is "probably no", I assume it will be the airline's responsibility to reschedule me on a later flight, if both my flights are operated by the same company and sold on the same e-ticket --- am I correct?

I am an Indian national with a valid Indian passport. I intend to travel to San Francisco (US) via Hong Kong with Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific. I have to transit through Hong Kong without exiting the airport transit area within 2 hours.  Do I need a transit visa (pre-arrival registration) for Hong Kong for this short duration?

I am a Vietnamese citizen. I am planning to buy a round-trip flight ticket from Taipei to Los Angeles (America) and I will transit in Seoul airport.   Do I need a visa if I want to enter Seoul (not over 72 hours)?   My first route is TPE-ICN-LAX, do I need a visa if I stay one night in Seoul? My second route is LAX-ICN-TPE, do I need a visa if I stay one night in Seoul?  Of course, I have a valid US visa, and onward ticket that I booked.

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 have two different bookings on British Airways and Emirates.  Booking 1 (British Airways): Washington (IAD) -> London (LHR) -> Dubai  Booking 2 (Emirates): Dubai -> Hyderabad  I have a 5 hour stop in Dubai but do not have a visa to leave the airport. British Airways says they won't through-check my bags. Emirates says it won't be a problem since Emirates and BA are partner airlines.   Not sure what I should do at this point. My flight is tomorrow so its too late to apply for a visa. I have actually done with before without a problem on the same two airlines. The only difference was that it was on a single ticket booked through a travel website.

I understand that ESTA travellers are allowed to travel and can also go the Automated Passport Control (APC) in certain airports. But once I have arrived in a state (e.g. NY) and then would like to go to another state e.g. IL - How does this work? Do I need to treat this as an international travel i.e. do the ESTA based checks again?

For example, I want to go to the U.S. by airplane. I had the non immigrant visa (N.I.V.) from the American embassy in Turkey, issued to my Turkish passport.   I exited from Turkey by using the Istanbul Ataturk international airport, showed my passport at the exit control, and boarded my airplane. 12 hours later, I landed into the JFK international airport. I also have a 37-centimeter screen television and a computer with full battery, in the luggage. Should I declare the television and computer at the airport?  Also, what is the procedure at the customs/passport control? Can the customs officer check my luggage?  Note that when leaving from some airports for the U.S., you might pass through something called "preclearance". This is for most flights, i.e. non-preclearance flights.

I am traveling from the US to India via London Heathrow on November 6. I will be at LHR on 7th at 6:20 am and departing at 9:25 pm. I'm an Indian national and have a valid US visa.  Do I need a transit visa to stay airside?  I have been scared that British Airways have stopped a few people from boarding flights (no details just rumors).  Do I need a transit visa to stay landside? I want to do some sightseeing. What are the chances of getting past officials using transit without visa concession?  Real stories will help a lot to calm the butterflies in my stomach.

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?

I am flying from Los Angeles to Bangalore. I have a flight option from LAX to Minneapolis and from there to Paris. I have only 45 minutes at Minneapolis before my next flight. Is this too risky a schedule? I am not an American, so I guess I would need to cross emigration too?

When arriving at JFK (or any US airport) on an international flight that didn't have pre-clearance, I know that you have to clear immigration, collect your bags, clear customs, re-drop bags, change terminals by AirTrain if needed, and then go through security, no matter what terminals are involved.   I also know that when you fly into JFK on a domestic or pre-cleared flight, and your onward flight is from that same terminal, you just step off your domestic flight into the departures area and walk to your onward gate, without needing to do security again.  At some other big US airports I've been to before (eg DFW), there is an airside transfer train that lets you move between terminals, so you can go from gate to gate without needing to exit + re-clear security. However, at JFK the only transfer train I'm aware of is AirTrain, which is landside.  Is it possible to move between terminals at JFK from within the airside / departures area? Or is the only option when changing between domestic flights at different terminals to exit, take the air-train, then queue up and re-clear security?
