TWOV
Thanks for that, @Strickers – you are of course 100% right
and I’m now wondering if I didn’t use that term when we had our
check-in hoohaa at T5 last summer!
@Strickers is correct to add the TWOV term, but to add further to your lexicon, the Chinese immigration authorities actually call it ‘visa-free transit’ so that term may also be in Timatic which is where airlines will source their decision to allow you on board. Let’s hope we get onto the visa free country list!
