BA Transit Visa ****!!

AVOID BRITISH AIRWAYS OR GOING THROUGH LONDON FOR ANY MATTER!! SAD SAD LESSON! Avoid buying British Airways tickets on Travelstart!!! UK requires from us as South Africans to have a transit visa to walk through Heathrow Airport. Travelstart.co.za sells British Airways Tickets not telling or flagging a warning about needing a transit visa for Heathrow. Even if you do have a long term valid Schengen Visa. DO NOT BUY THESE TICKETS! Travelstart will not flag you a warning. You will even check in online and receive a boarding pass, only to be off-loaded because you do not have a valid transit visa. When you start asking questions British Airways and Travelstart will even go so far as to promise you a full refund or voucher. Trust me you will not receive a thing! Complete ****!!!! A TRANSIT VISA FOR THE UK COSTS THE SAME AS A 3 MONTH VISA AND YOU WILL WAIT 10 WEEKS FOR IT - if you are lucky!!! AVOID BRITISH AIRWAYS, AVOID TRAVELSTART AND JUST FLY DIRECTLY! Complete ****!!! Dear Mzansi, Take your hard earned Rands buy tickets from an online dealer who cares to tell you there are passengers off-loaded on a daily basis at the airport and fly with an honest airline! Happy Travels!
