    +1 This problem indeed applies to intra-Schengen flights, not just domestic in one country. A Milan-Paris connection would need a Schengen visa. Commented Dec 12, 2019 at 23:00

    This is why I used the term "internal flight", which is what I believe the term the industry now uses. Rome - Paris is indeed the same as Rome - Milan where it comes to travel documents needed... LH offers US-India flights with a FRA-MUC transfer as part of the itinerary. Has caught quite a few Indians unaware. I do think that the airlines could handle this better.

    I strongly agree that the airlines could handle it better. Even if they just added a note to itineraries that involve it. Commented Dec 13, 2019 at 8:41

    I think it has to begin at the point of booking. When selecting an itinerary, it needs to say "Includes Schengen internal flight requiring Schengen entry". A passenger who would need a Schengen visa may pick a different itinerary. Commented Dec 15, 2019 at 3:14
