Called British Airways for travel from India to US via London, Heathrow. They said Indian passport holders not allowed to transit via UK as per covid bubble flight rules. Anyone else faced this issue?

100% second this

You’ll likely need to transit through another country like UAE

Why’s this an issue if you already haven’t booked? There are some countries under air bubble pact that are not allowed to travel to/from India. Try for Middle East as layover. Else, you can also look at American/ United, they fly to US without any layover.

Yep, you can’t transit through UK.

We recently had the same issue when flying through European based countries to Mumbai. We took no chances and flew direct with United. Air India was an alternate.

Boss has WFH for 9months. I have been WFH for 2-weeks for travel quarantine/state guidelines.

I get the perspective of team unity, but is it wrong to feel there is no reason to risk my health? The company justifies increasing my covid risk (high-risk already) to “show face”, when my job is being fulfilled while WFH. Am I crazy?
