Transit and connecting flights

daallo.com/plan/transit-connections

Connect with confidence.

Prepare for your connection as carefully as for your destination. Check the airports, terminals, local times and operating airlines on your itinerary. Your transfer may involve security screening, document checks, baggage collection or a new check-in.

Check whether you need transit permission

Visa and entry rules can apply even if you never leave the airport. Confirm the requirements for your nationality, travel document, layover and onward destination. If you must pass through immigration to collect bags, change airports or reach a hotel, check the country's entry rules as well as its transit rules.

Allow time for the whole transfer

Consider the distance between terminals, any change of airport, security queues and the next flight's check-in and boarding deadlines. If you have booked flights separately, do not assume your onward booking is protected if your first flight is delayed — ask the issuing airlines or agents before you buy.

Confirm what happens to your bags

At your first check-in, ask where your baggage is tagged to and whether you must collect it on the way. Keep your baggage receipts and check the destination printed on them. Through-checking is not automatic, especially on separate tickets or with different airlines.

If you must collect your bags, allow time to enter the country, reclaim them and present them at the next check-in desk. Allowances can differ from one flight to the next.

Assistance and changes on the way

If your connection involves mobility support or other assistance, tell us before you travel and confirm which airline or airport provides each part of the service. If plans change mid-journey, check the latest gate information and contact the airline responsible for the affected booking.
