Flights to Europe from UK

Allowing plenty of time before a European flight is advisable in all cases, most European airport suggest arriving two hours before your flight. As with airports in London security can be an unpredictable factor and therefore you should allow plenty of time.
Each European country has individual policies regarding full-body scanners. However, according to EU rules, passengers must be given an alternative screening method if they have a pacemaker or other medical reason for opting out.
In any case, arriving two hours before a scheduled departure should leave plenty of time to get situated at the gate before boarding.

Many travellers opt for packing light, with hand luggage only when flying from the UK to Europe. Each airlines has policies regarding hand luggage and checked bags, and passengers should always read the fine print with the airline when packing. However, there are specific EU regulations regarding what can be carried on an airplane.
Aerosols, liquids, creams, or gels must be packed in a one-litre, clear plastic bag and be no larger than 100ml. In the case of duty-free items purchased at the airport, as long as they remain sealed in the security bag with the receipt, they may be carried in hand luggage.

Few airlines still require that travellers stand in the queue and wait for staff to print a boarding pass. Nowadays, it is the norm for flights to Europe and those around the continent to have online and self-check-in. For even greater convenience, Omio travel app connects to 250 airlines.
