Heathrow Airport - unaccompanied minors

Minors can travel unaccompanied, as most airlines provide an assistance service. In this case, London Heathrow Airport demands the provision of all necessary documents identifying the persons bringing the child to the airport and meeting him/her elsewhere. Some companies do not allow unaccompanied minors to fly if the route includes a stopover.

Here are some tips for people/parents who want to send their children to travel by plane:

• Familiarise yourself with the requirements of the airlines that operate flights to London Heathrow Airport.
• Do not delay in going through security before boarding the plane.
• Provide all necessary information to the airline representatives about the persons who will meet the child at another airport.
• Create a copy of the boarding pass and give it to the child to carry with him or her.
• Ask if the child needs to use the restroom, so they can feel comfortable before boarding.
• Bring an identification card with a photo on it, to give airport officials information about yourself when you pick up your child.

Departing with pets from London Heathrow International

We recommend that you check the conditions of the chosen airline regarding travelling with a pet. Heathrow departures with pets must be carried out in accordance with the Pet Travel Scheme. Under this scheme, animals do not need to be quarantined but must meet the requirements. If you are flying to the EU or Northern Ireland, please provide documentation for the following:

• Microchip on the animal.
• Rabies vaccination.
• Certificate of the health of the animal.

The legislation of Finland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Norway and Malta requires that dogs undergo an additional course of treatment for tapeworms.

For flights to non-EU countries, it is necessary to obtain an export veterinary certificate. When travelling to England, Scotland, and Wales, don't forget to fill out an export application form. To do this, contact an official veterinary service that specialises in checking your pet's EHC. Once you have completed this step, the international requirements for further flights are checked.
