If your speaking of transitioning as it relates to airspace...

You're in an uncontrolled airspace (or any other airspace other than the one you want to enter) and want to transition through a controlled airspace, say around a major airport, you need to request clearance to "transition (transit, cross, fly through) the Bravo (or whatever) airspace.

Check out this link and go to the chapter dealing with Airspace:
