I have confirmed seats and bookings for the following:India - Beijing Beijing - LondonTime in Beijing = 70 hrs.Passport Type: USABoth flights have a connection (do not leave airport or get stamp) in Dubai. Does the Originating country count as India or UAE (if i am just making a connection)? Does the third county count as UK or UAE(again if i'm only making a connection)?I just want to confirm that with a flight where Beijing is the destination or completion of one leg will work and the return ticket has the same country/city connection, but not destination. Thanks,

I am a bit confused. Do you fly Dubai-India-Beijing Dubai-London? If so, your route still qualified. If you fly India-Dubai-Beijing-Dubai-London, then your are disqualified.

Flight is: India to Beijing (with a change of planes in Dubai)70 hrs in BeijingBeijing to London (with a change of planes in Dubai) Same airline - and that is where all of their flights connect. What i am looking for clarity on is, if i'm not leaving the airport in Dubai -and my passport has my last port of departure as India, does the stop in Dubia get considered in the country arriving from and/or country departing to?

Laney, I'm afraid your route is not eligible because of the stop in Dubai, even though you just change plane there.

72 hr. Visa - do I qualify?

72 hr. Visa - do I qualify?

I have confirmed seats and bookings for the following:

India - Beijing
Beijing - London
Time in Beijing = 70 hrs.
Passport Type: USA

Both flights have a connection (do not leave airport or get stamp) in Dubai. Does the Originating country count as India or UAE (if i am just making a connection)? Does the third county count as UK or UAE(again if i'm only making a connection)?

I just want to confirm that with a flight where Beijing is the destination or completion of one leg will work and the return ticket has the same country/city connection, but not destination.

Thanks,
