As per the new UK Transit Visa regime, Indian nationals travelling with British Airways can now transit though the multiple award-winning Heathrow Terminal 5 without the need for a Direct Airside Transit Visa, as long as they have a valid USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand visa; irrespective of their final destination.
Christopher Fordyce, Regional Commercial Manager, British Airways, South Asia said, “The new visa regime will now enable our Indian customers to seamlessly transit UK en route to nearly 146 destinations in 32 countries across Europe and South America on British Airways and partner airlines.”
Whilst travelling with British Airways, travellers can take advantage of the award winning Terminal 5 that offers quick and seamless connections across the world. The terminal also has British Airways’ largest lounge which provides a wide range of services including an Elemis Travel Spa for customers.
British Airways is now in the process of installing new cabins in 95 of its Airbus short-haul fleet including new seats that feature extra knee space and built-in tablet-holder to provide an enhanced customer experience.
