what is self transfer in airport

Self-transfer in an airport refers to a situation where a passenger is responsible for managing their own connections between flights. This means that the passenger must plan and book their own itinerary, which may involve booking separate flights, train or bus tickets. In some cases, self-transfer may involve a change of airport. When a flight requires self-transfer, the airline is only responsible for ensuring that the passenger gets to the first destination, and not the second. Passengers are responsible for all aspects of their connection, including collecting and rechecking their luggage, clearing security, and getting to the next plane on time. Passengers should allow plenty of spare time in case there are any delays on the way. If a passenger misses one of their flights for any reason, they will have to pay for a new flight themselves.
