visa route

English translation: permitted flight:LufthansaLH4765-05

English language (monolingual) [PRO]
Transport / Transportation / Shipping / air waybill
English term or phrase: visa route
This is an air waybill.

The "Handling information" field says: VISA ROUTE: LH4765-05

That same number, i.e. LH4765-05 (which is a Lufthansa flight number) also appears in the "Requested flight/date" field.

What I cannot understand is the "visa" part.

Thank you! I'm always happy to help! Yes, you're right, Travelin Ann provided a correct term "approved". Though, by knowing what "visa" is you wouldn't be mistaken, it's a Latin word, means "a paper with a stamp of payed entry tax", which official should recognize VISIBLY. On the computer system - in this case.

Thank you! Your interpretation does make sense, I just thought "visa" sounded weird, since, in my opinion, "authorized/approved" would have been more appropriate. But then "visa" is shorter... Then again, it is quite possible that the person who wrote this is not English.
