Find everything you need to prepare for your trip
Whether you're departing, arriving or connecting, here's a summary of everything you need to know to help you on your way.
Before travlling, please check the Government Foreign Travel Advice to understand the requirements for your destination as restrictions may be in place. See our information on COVID-19 Testing if you need to book any pre-departure tests for the country you are travelling to.
When you arrive in the UK from abroad, you do not currently need to take any pre-departure or post-arrival COVID-19 tests. This applies whether you are vaccinated or not. For the latest information, please visit the Government's COVID travel guidance pages.
If you are transiting or connecting through Heathrow (‘airside’ or ‘landside'), you do not need to quarantine or take any pre-departure or post-arrival COVID-19 tests.
Heathrow's test providers offer a range of testing options to keep you flying safely.
Please note that these tests need to be pre-booked, and fees apply.
Some countries require passengers to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test within specific timeframes of departure. At Heathrow, independent test providers offer the most commonly mandated tests by other countries. The types of test and timing required to take the test before departure varies by country, which is why we recommend passengers check the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office website for the latest travel information.
For deparing passengers - Please ensure that you carefully confirm the type of test, certification, and timeframe for completion required before booking a test and provide sufficient time to receive your results to complete your flight check-in.
For arriving passengers - There are no testing or quarantine requirements for fully and non-vaccinated passengers.
