Remember to print your test results and keep them with you throughout your trip – you will be required to present your result for validation at check-in.

The UK is taking steps to help stop the spread of COVID-19, and there are a number of requirements you must be aware of before you travel: 

1. To protect your health and others’, you must complete an online passenger locator form before arriving in the UK
2. You will not be required to self-isolate on arrival if you're flying from the UAE
3. You may be required to self-isolate for 14 days if you're flying from another country – check the exempt countries list immediately before you travel as this list can change at short notice
4. It is a legal requirement that you wear a face covering on public transport in the UK

Failure to comply with the above measures is a criminal offence and you could be fined. Please visit gov.uk/uk-border-control for detailed public health advice and requirements for entering the UK.
