Transit Visa for london

[Sandip 0]

My wife will be coming from Delhi to US on K3 visa. The only tickets I can find without spending $1800 is from Air India via London. Does anyone know if she needs transit visa for London. Also, can anyone tell me about their experience flying Air India?

Thanks

If you're transfering through Heathrow, be sure and allow yourself a LOT of time between flights. Esp. with the heightened security after this week's terrorist incidents in the UK. Heathrow is a pain for making connections on the best of days...!
