The ten-minute check-in
Because you are pre-cleared with border control, the time at the airport is the time it takes to load your bags and walk to the aircraft. Dogs and cats travel in the cabin with the right paperwork, and a helicopter transfer from Battersea to Biggin Hill takes around twelve minutes if you would rather not drive.
