Stopover information

Don’t forget, there is nowhere to sleep in the airport. If your booking includes a stopover in a local hotel, then follow the signs to Arrivals – leave the airport via passport control, baggage reclaim and customs and then check in as normal the following day.

Please note it is a UK Border Agency requirement that all passengers entering the UK must present themselves to Immigration at the first port of call. Therefore it is important that your passport/visa allows you entry into the UK. You can apply for a 24-hour visa on arrival. This is at the discretion of the Immigration Officer, who must be satisfied that you have a confirmed booking of onward travel within 24 hours.

If you need to find a place to stay, you can book an airport hotel with us.
