TLDR : Answer Summary

Currently, there are no COVID-19 requirements to enter the UK if you are fully vaccinated. You will need to complete a Passenger Locator Form (PLF) within 48 hours prior to your arrival and show proof of vaccination, such as your NHS Covid Pass (Vaccination Certificate) during check-in. It's advisable to print these documents. Airline policies may vary regarding additional COVID testing, so check with your airline for specific requirements.

CX has a direct flight to LHR tomorrow. They also summarise UK entry requirements in their website (refer these two links). Good luck.

Oh yes you are of course right Mike I was fully vaccinated. If not its a different matter. And I had to show my NHS Covid Pass (Vaccination Certificate) printed on paper at check in as well as the PLF.

I came back on Friday. If you are fully vaccinated you just need to fill out a PLF (Passenger Locator Form) on the UK Gov web site within the 48 hours before arrival in the UK and print it off for check in. No tests needed before or after arrival. But DO Print out your PLF and Covid Pass (Vaccination Certificate) as they will want to see it at check in.

I have edited my original comment as I was overlooking the fact that you need to present your vaccination certificate at check in. Thank you

for pointing out my mistake. If not vaccinated the rules are different. I apologise for my error. You can check the curent requirements in UK on this link to the UK Govt website

I used Qatar Airways via Doha. Nothing is required to transit Doha. I don't know about the other airlines you would need to check the airlines website and what it says.

There are no covid requirements to enter the UK. Each airline had a different requirement for covid tests though (some want it, some dont).

NO airlines require a covid test to enter the UK if you're fully vaxed(x2 shots). They all use the countries requirements to enter. Be aware that if you're transiting through a country on a non-through ticket you'll need to check the transit countries requirements.
