Whether you are booking a direct flight or a multi-city journey with layovers (for example, flying from Asia to Europe via a Middle Eastern transit hub), you will always require a valid international passport.
The 6-Month Expiration Rule: While many international destinations and transit hubs require your passport to be valid for at least six (6) months from your return date, it is the customer’s responsibility to check and verify the exact passport expiration requirements for every country on their specific itinerary.
Machine-Readable Passport Verification: Many countries strictly require passports to be machine-readable to clear customs. The customer needs to verify if their current passport meets the digital scanning requirements of their destination and layover airports before completing a booking.
Transit & Visa Requirements: The customer must manually verify all visa, entry, and transit checkpoint rules for all destination and connection airports before completing a booking.
