Once upon a time, the future of flight looked like this 🚀
The Concorde wasn’t just a plane - it was a masterpiece. Who else misses the days when flying faster than sound was a reality? ✨

Travelling in the heat? ☀️ A few handy tips ⬇️

✈️ If you’re heading to the airport over the next few days, it’s worth checking your journey before you set off, as high temperatures can sometimes affect trains and roads.

⏰ Give yourself a bit of extra time.

💦 Bring a refillable bottle - you can top this up at our water stations, or free of charge at on-site food outlets. Staying hydrated will make a big difference, especially if you’re travelling with children or have a longer journey ahead.

👚 Light clothing and keeping essentials like medication in your hand luggage can also help make things a bit easier.

Our teams are on hand if you need anything while you’re here.
