Difference Between Transit and Transfer Passenger
As a transit passenger, you will continue your journey on the same aircraft. As a transfer passenger, you will continue your flight in another aircraft or airline. Usually, for transfers, you must check in again at the airport.
Important: You need to check with your airline whether you need a visa when transferring during your flight.
Difference Between Direct, Connecting, and Non-Stop Flights
There is a significant difference between a direct, connecting, and non-stop flight:
– A direct flight follows a route from point A to point B without changing flight numbers but may stop to pick up new passengers.
– A connecting flight follows a route from point A to point B with a stop in point C (in this case, you will need a transit visa).
– A non-stop flight follows a route from point A to point B without stopping or transiting in point C.
