Нюансы: многие перевозчики (в основном бюджетные - Wizzair, Ryanair, EasyJet) замечены в категорическом нежелании принять пассажира к перевозке без визы, несмотря на наличие вышеописанных правил транзита. Поэтому рекомендуется в таких случаях пользоваться классическими авиакомпаниями, сотрудники которых достаточно информированы и подготовлены (British Airways и т.д.)
Удачных транзитов всем!
