https://www.expertflyer.com/ also exposes this airline information. Requires a paid subscription. Very useful for frequent flyers.
Visalist is free though.

I'd recommend using your country's official website, they usually keep the visa requirements and travel advice up to date.
Visalist has links to official websites aswell, so you can always cross check!

#233I find many of the critical comments to be shortsighted, especially those talking about trust/credibility. Do people really believe folks will check this site then run over to book an international ticket straight after? This is an awesome site to get a general idea where I (or my friends & family) can and can’t travel with and without extra work. It has a nice interface, a good collection of information, and is easi…
Maybe I'm succumbing to bias with this theory (hello Eternal September), but it seems like all I read on "Show HN" anymore is negativity and dismissiveness.
I really ought to try and do the analysis. I think it wouldn't be hard (HN is very good about keeping historical data, and sentiment analysis looks as easy as importing a library and passing it a dataset), just time consuming.

Why does it matter? You can only enter with one passport anyway so just try the two? There's no "combine passports to level up" in the visa world.
Does having more passports work "additively" or "subtractively"? For example I can imagine that a person with only a UK passport can enter the US more freely than a person with both a UK and Iraqi passport.

#236I am currently not in my home country. This is also my first time using the site. What background information is the site using to identify this?

> Do you automatically parse visa policy changes on official government web pages? Lol. That won't work well.
No it won't. But you could watch for any changes on certain webpages and then flag those webpages to a human for them to check.
Honestly, relying on any such work flow to find something as critical as visa requirements is insane. At least I wouldn't want to rely on some service which failed to detect that some Russian government page updated their web page and considers the page outdated. The page could still exist while incoming links are removed or similar.

#239Correction : For Canada from most Europe Schengen countries you need an Eta visa, it’s not visa free. Same for US green card holders.
Sorry, but this is incorrect. The European Travel Information and Authorisation System has not even been developed yet, much less deployed. It will only come online in 2021. Until then, Schengen is visa-free for Canadians and Americans. >On July 5th, the European Parliament has given its final agreement to implement the European Travel Information and Authorisation System, ETIAS. European authorities have decided to…
