| Jan 28, 2015 at 23:07 | comment | added | Catija | If I had citations, I would have Answered. I could be mis-remembering but I do specifically know that, flying from Dublin to England (Stanstead) did not require going through customs. So, particularly in relation to the OP's original focus on her return flight, I don't believe she will need to do customs in LHR. | |
| Jan 28, 2015 at 23:02 | comment | added | fkraiem | Oh and by the way, the UK is not in the Schengen area, so flying from the UK to a Schengen country does involve immigration checks, unlike flying between two Schengen countries. | |
| Jan 28, 2015 at 22:57 | comment | added | fkraiem | @Catija Do you have a citation for this? From Japan to France via LHR I did not pass customs at LHR, but I am an EU citizen. | |
| Jan 28, 2015 at 22:37 | comment | added | Catija | You'll do customs at Heathrow on the way there and in Vancouver on your way home. Traveling within Europe (flying or on trains) is like traveling through US States or Canadian provinces... but it's sort of lame because then you end up with passport stamps for your connecting countries instead of the ones you actually visit. | |
