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

US travel advisory: Benin — Level 2 (Exercise Increased Caution)
INFOThe US State Department publishes these advisories for your route. Benin: Level 2 — Exercise Increased Caution (as of 2026-01-07). Review the country page for the specific areas and risks flagged before you go. This is a US State Department safety perspective, not an entry or boarding rule — it doesn't affect whether you can board, only what to be aware of on the ground. Travellers from other countries should also check their own government's advisory.
