Change of Airport in Journey

[vineshparekh]

If we take connection flights & the airports are different in America then do we have to show American visa at the time of checking??



The agent has suggested me not to take such tickets.

Hi Vinesh,

If you require Transit visa, then don't go for such tickets.

Thank you.

Yes the travel agent is saying that the change of airport requires transit visa.

One more thing is that if I have to wait more than 8 hours at London then I also need transit visa.

Is it true because the rate is not so high if I select such flights
