As of May 20, 2019, USA passport holders may now use the express “ePassport” lanes at major airports and train stations in the United Kingdom. This will save you a lot of time for your next trip to the UK. We previously mentioned that this was coming soon and it is now here!
Many airports included
In addition to London’s Heathrow and Gatwick airports, other airports such as Manchester, Edinburgh, and Glasgow (and many others) are included. Remember that London Heathrow and Manchester are both accessible via non-stop flights from Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport.
Other countries benefit
At the same time, the ePassport lane privilege is now also extended to those holding passports from:
- Australia
- Canada
- Japan
- New Zealand
- Singapore
- South Korea
