My parents are Indian Citizens. They hold a valid B2 Tourist Visa to USA. I'm planning to book a flight with Hyderabad (India) - Abu Dhabi (UAE) - Dublin (Ireland) - USA. The leg from Hyderabad to Dublin is operated by Etihad and I know there is no problem hopping at Abu Dhabi. The leg from Dublin to US is operated by Aer Lingus. I called Aer Lingus customer care agent told me a transit visa is required to land in Dublin. She did not care to ask for the citizenship of traveller or about the USA visa. I went through Irish immigration website - (), India is not in list of countries that require transit visa. I'm now confused. Can some one confirm if they traveled with the same itinerary recently  Update: I called Aer Lingus again. Another agent told as long as I don't exit the airport, a transit visa is not required. I think these people don't really understand trouble we go through when boarding is denied. I put this question because I read a person was denied boarding earlier - . His case mentions about denied because of different day. But I see his transit time is 12 hours only.

I have a flight from Stuttgart to Frankfurt whose ETA at Frankfurt is 9:10. I have a connecting flight from Frankfurt to Chennai at 10:50. Both the flights are booked as part of the same ticket. So, there is a layover of 1h40m at Frankfurt airport. Would this be enough? I have been watching the terminals closely and I find that my first flight exits me at A2-3 and the connecting flight is at C15/C14. IS there a passport control and security check along the way and would this time be sufficient?  If i miss the flight, what happens?   Both flights are operated by Lufthansa

I plan to fly from Bangalore (India) to Dubai and then to San Francisco, all on the Emirates Airline. I have an option of a 1.5 hour layover in Dubai.   I'm wondering if this is sufficient time to make my connection. Are transiting passengers required to clear customs/security in Dubai ? Any information on potential causes of delay is appreciated.

I am a Indian citizen in the United States on a F-1 visa.  For the summer break, I am traveling (round-trip) from Chicago to New Delhi via Dusseldorf-Frankfurt by Lufthansa airlines. My onward Journey would be on July - 8 and return Journey on Aug - 11.  My layover will be of 1 hour 10 mins in Frankfurt and 3 hours in Dusseldorf.  I would like to know if I require Category A or Category B Visa. If not, what type of visa do I require for the Schengen visa for my transit. How I can apply for the same?  I tried to find slots in German consulate but all slots are full before my departure date. If I don't get the Schengen visa, I cannot travel and will loose all the fare (since my ticket is a non-refundable ticket). Is there any other way I can tackle this situation.

I am an Indian citizen. I am going to study in Canada with a study-permit. I am planning to have my flight via London. I've a layover there at London for almost 9 hours. Is it wise to visit the city for 4-5 hours during the layover? Additionally do I need a Transit Visa to visit the city? or do I need a General Visitor Visa for this short-trip at London?  Edits: Arriving and departing both the flights are from London Heathrow airport.  DATV suggests that if I am heading to Canada, I don't need DATV.   Visitor in Transit Visa suggests that I can pass border control with this Visa. I may also get a Transit without Visa concession if I satisfy this three:   you arrive and depart by air have a confirmed onward flight which leaves within 24 hours have the right documents for your destination (eg a visa for that country)   And I am also heading to Canada, this also can help me to get this concession.  So, do I need a Visitor in Transit Visa to visit the city? At least website suggests that. However, I'm not sure as no one can tell it with confirmation. Hope someone helps out here.

This is the scenario:  I have tickets booked for a 13:40 scheduled flight with Emirates. I need to check bags in so plan to be at the airport at the advised 2 hours before flight departure (11:40) but I look ahead and see my plane is delayed and not scheduled for departure until 16:40.   Can I arrive at the airport at 14:40 to check-in or should I knowingly arrive at the airport a full 5 hours before the revised departure time?  Footnote: The reason of the delay is that the inbound flight which will become be my outbound flight after turnaround is delayed in arriving at my departure airport.

I will be flying from Boston to Tokyo with a 5.5 hour morning layover in Chicago. I'm thinking of going out to the city for some late breakfast and/or sightseeing. I've never left an airport during a layover before, so I have some questions.  I'll land in Chicago at 8am, and take off at 1:30pm.   I imagine I'll leave the airport by 9, and should be back by 11:30. Is this reasonable? What's the best way to deal with luggage? I assume that I'll have to claim the luggage from the domestic flight, then re-check it for the international flight. Can I leave the airport after re-checking it? If not, are there any luggage storage options, other than  (lol)? How much is a taxi to downtown Chicago? As an alternative to downtown, is there anything (food/sights) you can you recommend that's closer to the airport?

My flight from Dubai to Muscat as well as the connecting flight from Muscat to New Delhi are with Oman Air. Do I need to re-check in my luggage?

My partner is a Sri Lankan national with a Sri Lankan passport and we will be returning to Sri Lanka from the UK on December 30 via Dublin and Abu Dhabi. He has a full 5 year multiple entry visa for the UK. We will only be in Dublin airport for 1 hour whilst transferring between an Air Lingus and an Etihad flight.  I have read elsewhere that if the transfer between flights is effected on the same day, an Irish transit visa is unnecessary.  Can anyone confirm this or confirm if a transit visa is required.
