Visa not required if:

- continuing by same/first connecting aircraft to a third

  country within 24 hours; and

- holding confirmed reservations; and

- holding documents required for next destination.

Passenger may leave the airport transit area, at the

discretion of Immigration authorities, for e.g. a nightstop

in town or if transfer between different airport applicable,

provided holding confirmed onward reservations and correct

documentation for next destination.

Minors:

if children are registered in parent's or guardian's passport:

- they may not travel without holder of passport; and

- visa in passport (if required) must indicate it is also valid

  for the child(ren).

Non-compliance with transit requirements (incl. forged

documents) results in fines for carrier of GBP 2,000.- per

passenger and either deportation or indefinite delay for

passenger at point of transit (detention costs at carrier's

expense).

Flights from/to United Kingdom to/from Channel Islands, Ireland

(Rep. of) and the Isle of Man are domestic flights therefore

there is no immigration control.

SPAIN (ES)

Passport required (must be valid at least 3 months beyond

expiry date of visa).

Visa required.

Visitor must hold:

- visible means of support during stay (EUR 57.- per day of

  stay with a minimun of EUR 514.- or equivalent in other

  freely convertible currency, except for students); and

- onward or return ticket and documents required for next

Minors: when accompanied by parent or legal guardian or if

   (if required by that country).

   The exit form must be certified by the parent(s) or legal

For travel within the Schengen area: travel documents are not

generally required for travel within the Schengen area for

immigration purposes, however, it is strongly recommended that

the minor be in possession of the exit form, as passengers may

be subject to random checks.

Those travelling to Spain for private or touristic purposes

will be required to apply for a "Carta de Invitacion" through a

police station.

Answer 2

No, you don't as long as you stay in restricted area for transit passengers but you will need a vis to go to Spain. You may be at there for a couple of hours or less before boarding time.
