FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — After landing at Heathrow Airport early Friday morning, the Jets will disembark and make a left toward customs, where six lines will be devoted to their delegation of 220 people. To safeguard against any mishaps later, passports will be collected after everyone clears, and then a brigade of Virgin Atlantic representatives will escort the Jets to seven buses waiting outside.
This will be the procedure because Aaron Degerness, the Jets’ senior manager of team operations, walked this route in June, when he made his second scouting trip to London in advance of their game Sunday against the Miami Dolphins at Wembley Stadium.
