How long does it take to get through customs at Heathrow Airport?
Hi just wondering when arriving in London what is the expected time from landing the plane to getting on whatever transfer into central London?
Basically would you have to wait long to get through customs????
Another question I have on Heathrow customs is regarding duty free limits.
Do they stick to the limits fully? Usually in NZ if the limit is 2 bottles of spirits, and you have three, they will let you through with them if you disclose the full amount. Is there any similar behaviour in the UK? Maybe in NZ they are just lazy and can’t be bothered with the paperwork for just one bottle?
Depends entirely on your arrival time and how many flights are arriving. I arrived at 5.30am and was through customs in under 15 minutes, whereas I’ve arrived at 2pm and taken 30 minutes to 1 hour. I am British though so I image that is quicker. I would estimate 1 to 1/30 mins as Heathrow is a huge airport too.
Customs I think its similar to New Zealand!
