I want to travel from Bangalore to Jamaica but I do not have a visa to transit in the US or UK. What is the best way to do this that doesn't require any transit visa?
One option is Bangalore -> Delhi -> Amsterdam -> Panama -> Kingston but there is a 16 hour layover in Panama which I believe requires a transit visa (due to the length of the layover).
By performing a skyscanner search from Jamaica to "Everywhere" with direct flights only and whole month checked, you can get a list of posibilities of where you might transfer.
The list includes several non-uk European countries. Of course, you should watch out for any flights that take place wholly within the Schengen area, as they will require a Schengen visa.
If you can transfer at one airport within the UK, while Indian citizens to need a Direct Airside Transit Visa, I do not think that the requirements for this are very onerous.
You can fly Candor via Germany - Hamburg to Montego bay
I have spent some time trying to find relevant routes for you. Basically, it is really hard to avoid USA and Canada if you want to get to Jamaica. Still, I have found a route through UK with Thomson to reach Montego Bay. You should find flights through Guyana (which has direct connections to Jamaica).
