Connecting through another country?

Transit rules depend on your specific routing, so check the country you connect through separately, or analyse your full itinerary.
What to know before you go
Check your phone coverage abroad
INFOYou're travelling to Dominica (DM). Your home cellular plan may or may not include data abroad — check your carrier's international options before you fly. An eSIM is a low-commitment alternative if your plan doesn't cover the destination or charges high roaming rates.
Bring proof you'll leave Dominica
INFODominica requires proof you'll leave before they let you in. At check-in the airline often asks for this — without it, they can deny boarding because the carrier becomes liable for flying you back. Easiest fixes, in order: (1) book a refundable return or onward flight, (2) use a one-way bus / train ticket out, or (3) buy a temporary onward-ticket reservation through a service like OnwardTicket. Have whichever you choose printed or on your phone before you reach the counter.
