let me tell i m sure abt visa bro coz i had to return back from airport recently so i m tellin u that we need visa from england to travel . now the alert might b eased from last time but still b confirm before travelling. i was informed by the airlines services that we need complete visa not just a transit visa because we have to go through customs again. Now the condition might have changed but still taking some information might be helpful for travelling long distance. i m telling u this coz i faced the same problem before...just few days back. so take some gud steps..u have two choices. one u can change ur flying route second u can get full visa. its the same. jus check with embassy n if u need visa ..den check with ur travel agency den compare the price..if the price is almost same..i mean once u cancel ur air ticket they might charge u some money..but wen u apply for visa it costs money n second u have to go to embassy. so the expenditure might be almost same so why take long step..jus call ur agency n change route( n travel from where u don need visa). thank u
