For UK immigration what it is considered a "reasonable journey"? - Funny Quote outside a Pub

I am travelling to Dubai from Colombia, and I need to stopover UK. I saw that they allow me transit without a visa if I have a US visa and I am travelling "as part of a reasonable journey" to the US.

Now, I am wondering if buying a ticket leaving from Dubai after say 2 weeks to the US, would qualify as a reasonable journey?



Best Answer

"Reasonable" in this context means that it makes sense to transit the UK on your given itinerary.

For instance, transiting the UK between Dubai and the US is a little odd given the large number of direct flights, but it could be reasonable if you found cheap tickets.

An unreasonable journey would be one in which transiting the UK makes no sense at all, such as flying from Dubai to Bahrain.
