Check with the airline. They can give you that information.

The airline is the easy bit. Call them as said above.

Remember that the UK is no longer part of Europe, so you will need to look at what happens when you get to customs in the UK. What paperwork will you need?

Look for one with good ventilation and a solid base to keep them comfortable during the flight. You can line the bottom with something soft, like paper towels, to keep things steady. Soundproof cages don’t really exist, but you can cover the cage with a breathable cloth to help keep them calm. Just make sure it doesn’t block airflow.

Since they get scared easily, try getting them used to the cage beforehand. Let them hang out in it a bit at home so it feels familiar when it’s time to travel. If you’re flying business class, it might also be a quieter, less stressful environment for both you and your birds.
