I wonder if anyone can confirm to me what the transit regulations are for Moscow Sheremetyevo airport I was due to fly Edinburgh - Amsterdam Amsterdam - Moscow Sheremetyevo Moscow Sheremetyevo- Yerevan Yesterday I was refused entry on to a KLM flight at Edinburgh airport as they said I needed a transit visa for my 3hour 5minute stop in Moscow. I booked my trip with KLM and it was all on one ticket, although the flights from Amsterdam onwards to Yerevan were operated by Aeroflot. I researched all requirements using the Sheremetyevo airport website, the Arroflot website aswell as general travel sites such as Trip Advisor etc and all came back with the same outcome. As long as I didn't leave the airport and stayed airside I would not need a transit visa I have since been in touch with Russian tour offices and they too are saying what has already been confirmed I have launched a compensation file against KLM through there website but it says it could take up to two weeks before they get round to my case. Not only am I looking for refunds for my flight but I am also looking for my accommodation to be reimbursed which I had to cancel at full cost Can anyone confirm whether the above is standard procedure and that I did not need a transit visa and also could someone be kind enough to tell me how easy it is to claim flight refunds and accommodation costs back from KLM or if it's easier just to take legal action Thanks
