Check-in At London Heathrow

The check-in time for long haul international flights from London Heathrow is 3 hours before the scheduled departure time of the aircraft.

To save time, have your tickets and passport ready, and ensure your hand luggage contains only valuables and items you will need during the journey. Once your hold luggage is checked in, you can proceed to security control.

It is advisable to clear security control early and leave yourself time to relax before your flight, enjoy the shops, bars and cafés in the departure lounge, and get to your gate in plenty of time.

Please be aware that there are limits on the number and size of bags and on the quantity of liquid items which can be carried through security control.
