Question about flights...

[aamirpearl 47]

Hi guys, My fiance went to the travel agency to book his flight and he wanted to book it thru american airline but the flight will stop in London and than from there to chicago, the agent is saying that London has made a new rule and all pakistani must have some sort of visa to enter in London, so he said he cant book that flight for us and told us to find out if he will need a visa for London before he can book it for us. I have never heard anything like this before, he will just connect his flight in london and go on his way to Chicago and than to me. Is this true or are the travel agents being dumb?.... thanks..

Your best bet is to double check with the British High Commission in Pakistan, so they can give you the correct information.

hey pearl...nice to knw he is finally flying out

now according to aviation rules if the transit is less than 10 hours than

there shouldn't be any issue.. but if more than airline is liable to

provide passengers accommodation (for that obviously they'll get out

of the airport) but else all is good..

that travel agent is juz plain ignorant i guess.. try some1 else

have a safe one
