However, if you are traveling to Cambridge for business or to study, you may need a visa, so you should check with the UK embassy or consulate. Your passport must not expire during your stay, and it should have at least one blank page for immigration stamps. With the US passport, you can use the UK/EEA immigration lanes or the automatic ePassport gates, if there are any available at the airport when you arrive.

  • What should I pack for a flight to Cambridge?

    Cambridge goes through four seasons, so you should pack for the time of year of your trip. Summers, from around June to August, are usually around the 60s or 70s, so you may be comfortable in shorts or lightweight pants or jeans. Fall (September to November) can see drops to around 50°F, so you may want to pack some sweaters or jackets, as well as some rainwear. The rain continues into winter, which lasts from December to around February, and it gets colder, so gloves, scarves, and waterproof shoes should also be in your luggage. Spring warms back up to the 50s and 60s, but it still may be rainy. If you are bringing any electronic devices, you should check that they are compatible with 230 V, and you probably should pack a travel adaptor to make sure you can plug into the flat-pronged power sockets there.
