If you&#8217;re arriving from outside the UK or Ireland, you\u2019ll need to go through <strong>passport control<\/strong>. Use the eGates if you&#8217;re eligible \u2013 they\u2019re fast and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure your passport is valid, undamaged, and has enough blank pages for stamps. UK border officials may ask about your visit, so have your accommodation details and return ticket ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Baggage Reclaim<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After border control, head to the <strong>baggage reclaim<\/strong> area.
