Switching Planes Overseas

International Connections Between Airlines

D2R to D2RT

     If you are making an 'airline-to-airline' connection overseas, be sure everyone at each airline knows you are a 'thru' passenger.   Departure 'national taxes' do not apply, altho 'airport charges' do apply ... including, if you have to retrieve and transfer your own luggage between airlines.   

 

     American Airlines does not fly between any international city pair.   Their schedule is only to-and-from the USA, nonstop.   So, connecting to AA to the USA requires you to inform every AA agent that you are a 'thru passenger.'   They will change Jetnet (SABRE) to show your status from D2R to D2RT.   Show your inbound boarding pass for proof.   This will (1) place you ahead of all D2R travellers orginating in that city, and (2) stop any local boarding country 'national taxes.'
