Mark -----Original Message----- From: The Airline List [mailto:AIRLINE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David MR Sent: February 7, 2005 8:15 PM To: AIRLINE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: questions about visa to change planes in the US >From the research I did on the State and Homeland Security Departments web pages, the answer is a definite maybe. If a person is from one of the 27 countries that are not required to get a visa to travel to the USA, then that person is not required to get a transit visa. I couldn't find anything that gave an exception for a same-flight transit. (A change of aircraft does not necessarily make a flight a connecting flight. In the LHR-LAX-AKL example, if the same number is used from LHR to AKL then the flight is not a connecting flight even if there is an aircraft change in LAX). Off the top of my head I cannot think of any airline besides Air New Zealand and Air Tahiti Nui that have international flights that transit the USA.
