I am going on 6th Aug to Gainesville, FLorida, USA. My flight itinerary is as follows: Mumbai to Heathrow - Jet Airways, Heathrow to Miami - American and Miami to Gainesville - American. Transit time at Heathrow is 3 hours. I will be arriving at Terminal 4 and will be departing at Terminal 3. Since Jet and American have a codeshare I guess my baggage will continue checked in and i dont think I have to recheck it. I have a valid F1 visa. Do I need a transit visa? PLs help.

You could maybe ask a separate question highlighting this issue, something like “Is it possible to stay airside when changing terminals at Heathrow”. I think there are busses that allow you to do it but I can't find an authoritative source to confirm that. – Relaxed Jun 12 '14 at 11:13

This page from Heathrow airport's official website does not explicitly mention visas but it would include the immigration check if there was one so it does imply you should be able to transit without visa. – Relaxed Jun 12 '14 at 11:18

Changing terminals doesn't matter, as Heathrow operates airside terminal transfer busses. – jetset Sep 30 '14 at 17:47
