Out of curiosity, what's the source of information that Americans aren't allowed to transit schengen to schengen, even if they are allowed in the destination country.
Is that transit through any schengen country?
I thought it was a country by country decision?
For example, according to Timatic, Austria also permits business travelers. So a business traveler isn't allowed to transit another schengen country to get to Austria?
And if the wording is inaccurate on the French ministry website, who has accurate wording? Because this EU information doesn't differentiate between transit passengers, either:
https://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc...20-INIT/en/pdf It simply states that "Passengers in transit" are considered as "travellers with an essential function or need"
In any event, looks like I'll just stick to TAP to make things easier.....
