Was on Ita flight from Rome Fiumicino with about 2 hours and half hours connection time, immigration at beginning quite wonder was there without any Visa, then after explained that Rome Consulate confirming no any Visa in case of transit without going out Airport and above all after checked and confirmed my connection flight with Air France allowed me in, then after further attentive control by Airport representative regarding all our documentation to enter Usa, finally escorted from Air France representative til our gate to Paris, same guy provided to collect our baggage from Fco to our flight to Paris all way to Portland, fyg no lounge available at Algier apt.
Pls consider minimum 3 hours connection bcs all is according immigration staff you will find, at beginning we lost 45 minutes arguing no Visa occurred to transit but most he was wonder why need transit Algier to go Usa and simply explained we bought tickets before Pandemia time and would like enjoy Algier Visit too that time, then after arrival of supervisor and Air France guy with our boarding cards we were in in awhile, anyway apart losing time staff very kindly.
Wish good luck and try get as much transit time in La Premiere lounge that really worth and try be starving as much u can before arrival to enjoy as much delicatesse
