Travel risk intelligence
Know if you can actually take the flight — before you book.
We score every itinerary against your traveler profile — passport, visas, vaccinations, group members — and flag what would stop you at check-in or the gate. Every warning links to an official source.
No account needed. Type a city, airport, or country to try it.
Sample itinerary
JFK → ATL → NBO
An Indian passport holder connecting through Atlanta needs a US transit (C-1) visa — the US has no international transit zone. The airline will deny boarding at JFK without it.

What we catch that flight search doesn't
The cost of finding out at check-in or boarding is denied boarding, missed connections, deportation, fines. These are the traps a price comparison will never show you.
Transit visa traps
Flying JFK → ATL → NBO with an Indian passport requires a US transit visa. Flight search sites don't check — but the airline staff at the boarding gate do.
Self-transfer baggage
A FRA self-transfer requires reclaiming bags through Schengen immigration — which means an entry visa, even if you're not staying.
Passport validity windows
Most countries require six months validity beyond your stay. A May trip on a passport expiring in October fails the rule.
Multi-passport routing
Have two citizenships? We figure out which passport to use on which leg — and which gives you the easier transit.
Group eligibility
One member of the group can't board because of a yellow-fever certificate gap. We catch who can't board before anyone books.
Onward-ticket enforcement
One-way to Bali? Indonesia requires proof of onward travel and airlines enforce it. We catch the rule and link to the fix.
See everywhere your passport can take you
Sign in (free) and add your passport — we map every country you can enter, tinted by how difficult each one is: visa-free, visa-on-arrival, or full visa. Add a second passport or residency and watch your reachable world grow.

Who this is for
The more complex your trip, the more we save you. A single passenger flying point-to-point on a strong passport doesn't need us. Everyone else does.
- Multi-passport travelers
- Dual or triple citizenship? We pick which passport to use on each flight, and how to avoid the hardest border checks.
- Group + family trips
- Different passports, visas, vaccinations. We check every member and catch who can't board before anyone books.
- Long-stay + nomads
- Schengen 90/180, residence permits, long-stay insurance, medication legality. The trips that don't fit a typical itinerary.

Travel rules, explained
The requirements travelers most often miss — in plain language. Rules change, so always confirm with the official source before you travel.
- What does the six-month passport validity rule mean?
- Many countries require your passport to stay valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date, and some count from your arrival date. A passport that has not technically expired can still fail this rule, and airlines may deny boarding before you ever reach the border. The exact window varies by destination, so always verify the requirement with the destination's official government source before you travel.
- What is an onward (or return) ticket, and when is it required?
- An onward ticket is proof that you intend to leave a country — a booked flight, train, or bus out — and many destinations require it for visa-free or visa-on-arrival entry. Airlines often check for it at the departure gate because they are fined if they carry a passenger who is then refused entry. If you are flying one-way, confirm whether your destination requires onward travel and keep documentation ready, verifying the current rule with the destination's official immigration source.
- What is a transit visa, and why might I need one without leaving the airport?
- A transit visa lets you pass through a country on your way somewhere else. Some countries — including the United States — have no international transit zone, so even a connection without leaving the airport legally counts as entering the country and requires the correct visa. Whether you need one depends on your nationality, the airport, and sometimes the specific terminal. Check the transit rules on the official government source for every country you connect through.
- Why can self-transfer baggage require an entry visa?
- On a self-transfer itinerary, your bags are not checked through to the final destination, so you must collect them and re-check them yourself at the connecting airport. To do that you often have to clear immigration and customs — which means you legally enter the connecting country and may need an entry visa even though you are only passing through. Confirm the baggage handling and entry requirements for your specific connection with official sources before you book.
- What is the Schengen 90/180-day rule?
- The Schengen 90/180 rule limits visa-free visitors to a maximum of 90 days within any rolling 180-day period across the Schengen Area as a whole — not per country. Days spent in any Schengen country count toward the same total, and the 180-day window moves with each day. Overstaying can lead to fines or entry bans. Because the calculation is cumulative and easy to miscount, verify your specific allowance with official European Union or member-state sources.
- When is a yellow-fever vaccination certificate required to travel?
- Some countries require proof of yellow-fever vaccination — an International Certificate of Vaccination — for entry, and the requirement can depend on which countries you have recently visited or transited, not just your destination. Airlines may check the certificate at boarding. Requirements change as risk areas are updated, so confirm whether you need the certificate with official health and government sources, and allow time for the vaccine to take effect before departure.
- How does EasyOnward check whether I can take a flight?
- EasyOnward scores each itinerary against your traveler profile — passport country, visas, residence permits, vaccinations, and any group members — across passport validity, entry and transit permission, health rules, onward-ticket enforcement, and baggage mechanics. Each itinerary returns a boarding-risk score, a hassle score, and a connection-confidence score, and every warning links to the official government source it is based on. EasyOnward surfaces risks and cites sources; it is not legal or immigration advice, so always confirm with the official source before you travel.
- Do I need an account to use EasyOnward?
- No. You can run a search and get scored, sourced results with just a passport country and a route — no account required. Signing in is optional and unlocks saving trips, building a fuller traveler profile, mapping your reachable world, and checking group members against the same route.
