Visa requirements for travel between the UK and continental Europe

On our platform, you can find flights connecting the United Kingdom with various cities in continental Europe.

Whether you need a visa depends on your citizenship and the passport you hold. As a general rule, if a visa is required for you to travel to Europe or the United Kingdom, then yes, you will need a visa for our excursion flights. This is because customs clearance is necessary when flying between the United Kingdom and continental Europe.

If you are unsure about your visa requirements, we recommend checking directly with official sources.
