The only thing is that we will not travel BA. The truth is that the reason for this is economical, pay for a transit visa. After all if you’re doing a transit at Heathrow it’s impossible to enter the country

Not sure how things have changed. I transited through Hethrow to connect from Gatwick long ago.. It was just a stamp for 24hrs. No charge.

Right on...they are trying to monetize your transit. Book a different airline and avoid UK transit.

If it is free of charge for a day transit then no problem, Otherwise UK is broke and a means of exploitation.

Sure it doesn't make sense !!......someone who is transiting and will not move out of the confines of the airport, why should the person obtain a visa......the Airlines would rather suffer !!

Though Ghanaians claimed that Ghana passport was powerful, how come you don't have any advantage to the so called less powerful ones, is it only powerful when it comes to visa free to countries that offer nothing?

I don't think it will effect transits who would not get out of the airport to visit a friend or to a restaurant. Why get a visa if you're not stepping out of the airport ?

All the so-called advanced countries immigration rules are always targeting African countries. It seems like we are just a bunch of creatures who are not needed in their countries. Of course, a Japanese will not need a transit visa to transit tbe UK neither will a South Korean, but for we subaharan Africans, even if you're transiting for 1hr you'll need one. O Mighty GOD, look at how some countries denigrade us. We are the least respected on this earth . We have been called all sort of names and maligned, denigraded and classified as even subspecies. Yet, these so-called colonialist and supremacist troop to the continent for all their needs. Let your judgment visit them.

I really don't blame them. They don't have anything and this the only means of making money. What don't we have in Africa; minerals, oil, good land, good beaches, forest, we have everything but we are mismanaging everything through bad governance. Is time we sit up and do things well, we really don't have to travel if we do our things well in Africa.
