Departing the UK

From 8 March 2021, the UK government has introduced a legal requirement for all passengers departing the UK to complete a Travel Declaration Form to state their reason for international travel.

Passengers must complete this form if they are travelling outside the UK from England. Different rules apply for international travel from Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Arriving into the UK

For all passengers travelling to the UK, your customers must complete an online passenger locator form before arriving. Additionally, all passengers must provide proof of a negative coronavirus test dated within three days of departure.

Before they travel, your customers must also pre-book a coronavirus testing package comprising of two tests OR a hotel quarantine package if they are travelling from a red list country. This cannot be done on arrival. Please click here for more information

British Airways has recently partnered with Qured a UK Government-approved COVID-19 testing provider. British Airways customers and partners with a UK address can order and access discounted rate testing kits using code BATRAVEL15. Designed to be portable, customers can take the kits with them abroad, in preparation for their return journey to the UK.

Please remember that failing to comply with these measures is a criminal offence and your customers could be denied boarding or fined.
