The exact wording from TIMATIC is
"Third country" suggests a back-to-back same plane turnaround would be impermissible.
Code:
TWOV (Transit Without Visa): - Passengers with a confirmed onward ticket for a flight to a third country within 24 hours. They must stay in the international transit area of the airport and have documents required for the next destination. - TWOV does not apply to passengers with a travel document issued by the Palestinian Territory.

There is still a workaround that would be valid. There are two methods on Oneworld to get to ALG one is LGW - ALG and there is MAD to ALG as long as you positioned with one and started your trip with the other you will be fine. Caveat being though that I'm sure the LGW to ALG would be too close to the leaving flight. Less than 60 mins last time I checked. You can also position from CDG on star alliance which would be valid for travel without visa also

I wouldn’t normally ask this, but as I’m in the jungles of Nicaragua with limited connectivity, does anyone know if this is still available?
if so, I’ll try and find a hard connection somewhere to book.
FWIW, thinking May-June

Just FYI last June my friend and I were given 2 year, multiple entry visas for Algeria thru the NYC consulate, without asking.

Curious about this--did you apply for a single entry visa and they gave you a multiple entry one instead? Or something else and for what cost?
is anyone able to actually book and ticket alg-lhr/mad/bcn-jfk-lax/sfo-jfk-lax/sfo-jfk-lhr/mad/bcn-alg? If yes, what dates/routing? Any examples on matrix/GF? Thanks, pg

2. JFK-LAX/SFO-JFK
3. JFK-LAX/SFO-JFK
1. JFK-LHR/MAD/BCN-ALG
you could achieve a similar result with just 2 tickets, if you don’t mind hitting the US west coast first

The AA fare permits domestic end-on-end, so I think the flights could be plated on one ticket.
Wouldn’t be any cheaper than several tickets though.

It made the price tag (incl Visa agent in NYC) more palatable for us.
