The United Kingdom is taking steps to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
1) To protect your health and others’, everyone must complete an online Passenger Locator Form before arrival in the United Kingdom.
2) You may be required to self-isolate for 10 days on arrival. Check the exempt countries list immediately before you travel as this list can change at short notice. Currently, you are required to self-isolate when arriving in the UK from France, Belgium & the Netherlands.
3) It is a legal requirement that you wear a face covering on public transport in the UK.
4) If you are required to self-isolate, you may be able to shorten the self-isolation period by opting into a test to release scheme depending on which part of the UK you are in. For further information and a list of providers please visit https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-test-to-release-for-international-travel.
Failure to comply with the above measures is a criminal offence and you could be fined.
Please visit www.gov.uk/uk-border-control for detailed public health advice and requirements for entering the UK.
All passengers are still required to quarantine on arrival in the UK from France, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Returning to Belgium: If you’re returning to Belgium afterwards: please note that you’ll have to fill in a mandatory government form even if you’re a Belgian national or resident. For more information please go to the ‘Travel to Belgium’ section.
If you’re unable to travel and have a booking up to and including 28 February 2021, we’d like to offer you an e-voucher so you can re-book your trip for a later date.
