The options would seem to be:-
  1. [*]
  2. [*]
Option 3 may run the risk of the first airline refusing to check you in for the first flight anyway, because as far as the first airline is concerned you have a journey that ends at the connecting point, so you'd need to have the correct documents to arrive and enter that country even though you're only going to be there for just long enough to start a second and (as far as the first airline is concerned) unrelated journey.
