Important Note
If you are a US citizen and your flight routes through the UK at any point — even just a layover/connection — you WILL need a UK ETA to board your flight. This applies even if you’re not leaving the airport.
How to get a UK ETA: Apply online here (takes ~10 minutes and approval typically comes in <3 days)
