UK/EU roaming plans generally cover Britain without extra charges depending on your carrier's post-Brexit terms; travelers from further afield should land with a UK or Europe-wide eSIM already active.

Insider tip

Free access usually comes with a time or data cap before it asks you to reconnect — fine for messaging and email, less reliable for anything heavier.

WiFi network names and session limits change frequently. Verify current details at the airport information desk or official website.
