Connections are where international trips most often go wrong — and where good planning shows most.
Realistic minimum times - Rule of thumb: 2h for simple international connections, 3h+ with terminal changes, re-check-in or mid-point immigration. - Giant airports (distant terminals) need extra margin.
Transit visas and documents Some countries require visas even for transit. Check the layover country's rule for your nationality before ticketing.
If you miss it - Find the airline desk while still airside, if possible. - Keep receipts and ask for rebooking in writing. - With agency-issued tickets, call us: we reissue and reorganize the rest of the itinerary.
We plan routes with safe connections — and watch schedule changes that break them.
