Can I book the EK 205 emirates flight that flys from Dubai to Milan and then Milan to JFK new york (same flight number) if I have indian passport and valid US visa?

I am getting mixed answers from different sources. I called the airline and they said there is no need of any visa for Milan but some other source over here https://www.musafirservices.com/emirates-airlines-update-travel-guidlies-for-us-travellers-from-india/ mentions that EK 205 is only for US nationals.

I don't want to blindly trust the airlines as I heard about similar instances where airlines said it should be fine but it wasn't (in terms of visa requirements).

  • The limitation you are referring to is under "Travel to Usa up to 00:01 EST on 8 November (2021)". We are now way after November 8.

The Emirates visa check tool, which is based on Timatic, the database used by all airlines to know documentation requirements tells us in your situation:

Transit Countries

Italy

Visa

Visa required.

TWOV (Transit Without Visa):

(…)

Passengers transiting through Milan (MXP) and arriving from a non-Schengen Member State with a confirmed onward ticket for a flight within 48 hours to a third country which is not a Schengen Member State. They must:

  • stay in the international transit area of the airport, and
  • have documents required for the next destination.
  • TWOV does not apply when transiting between terminals 1 and 2.

So, no, you don’t need a visa.

Note that the page you linked to is about Covid restrictions at the time, which have been lifted since then.
