Traveling with multiple airlines on one journey

Using more than one airline is often the cheapest way to travel but it may require a certain amount of planning to reduce the risks involved.

 

Airport transit visas — if your passport typically requires a visa to visit most countries, then you need to do your research before booking a trip. Even if you’re just transiting through a country, you’ll usually need a visa. This is especially true when flying with multiple airlines, low-cost airlines, and when you have multiple PNR numbers in your booking.

Rechecking baggage — you usually have to collect and recheck your baggage at every layover when travelling with multiple airlines. As this means leaving the airside/transit zone of the airport, the risk of visa complications is higher.
