Always enjoying coming to London. Great airport and the people have always been friendly. Lounges are amazing...I recommend “Aspire - Lounge and Spa (Term 5)”. AMAZING food, open bar, and showers.
Use the underground walkway to stretch your legs after a long flight. The walkway between A, B and C is calm and nice and you can make quick progress if you use the horizontal escalators(?).
Returning US travelers, security is between Areas D and E, and is super fast with a Fast Track ticket. Even with per screened ticket, though, you still need to remove laptop, iPad, liquids, shoes.
Every day at Heathrow 1,400 flights take off and land – one every 45 seconds and nearly half a million per year. You should use underground (Piccadilly Line) from here to city center.
2. Go to Huxleys which is on the left hand side after the security check, good beer and good food, for something under 10 pounds, you can get a very filling meal, avoid shops on the concourse level
One of, if not the best airport to travel to/from.Great transport (tube/bus/train/taxi), clean, comfortable, bright, spacious, good selection of food and shopping, very helpful friendly obliging staff
Give enough time to make it to your gate... grab a meal at Wagamama (or anywhere else) before your flight if you can... BA is serving less food these days
My favourite major airport in the world. It's super accessible, incredibly clean and beautifully architected. Though for most flights there's often huge amounts of walking involved.
Love this airport! On time flights and friendly staff. Tons of shops and restaurants. If you have a long layover it won't be a problem for you. Enjoy it!
When in Heathrow Terminal 5 choose the South GalleriesLounge, its nicer less crowded and bigger than the North, thanks to the Club employee insider tip
If in Terminal 2 and especially when flying to Ireland - grab a seat in La Salle right next to the Aer Lingus Gate’s. Good beer and very good food - and they show most of the football
You can take different Covid tests at the airport; Terminal 2 & 5 have testing facilities. Everything is clean and sanitized. Less seats available at gate but not many travelers anyway.
Well. It's an airport. I'm at terminal 3 but have used others too. With all the waiting time these days because of security you couldn't really ask for a better airport in terms of having things to do
The best head out for waiting and connections flights on terminal 5, just next to gate A7 .. Great for kids with great seating for relaxation and power sockets 👍
Amazing Historical City, traditional buildings, classical atmosphere everywhere! Enjoy the British heritage. BusTour is nice, London Eye, Undergrounds, Buses, Theatre, Fish & Chips, Hyde Park & a lot
all liquids must fit in one plastic bag (vaseline, toothpaste, and eye cream are considered). vat refund was quick and easy. you must show the item and validate with customs. then travelex and mail
Easy to reach from Paddington railway station. Huge agora and shopping area. Very wellorganized. Friendly staff. Business lounge is perfect with excellent WiFi connection and broad choice of drinks.
Terminal 2 is one of my fave terminals. Loads of retail, f&b and lounges. The check in experience can be a little painful since it’s self check in kiosks but all up still nice and convenient terminal
There is a new Pret a Manger at T5 departure. Try it out for the usual amazing sandwiches, coffee and all things fresh. Giraffe is also upstairs for that sumptuous hot meal
There are more hotels in this airport than in some cities! If flying in late, the Sofitel is a very nice place to stay and has an amazing breakfast buffet.
Busy airport alright..but imho it's one of the least efficient for leaving the country. But coming out of it is relatively quick and keeps your heart healthy for the amount of walking you have to do.
Heathrow, despite its undeserved reputation, is a great airport, especially terminal 5. Good facilities, great for shopping and some of the fastest baggage handling in the world.
There IS a Concorde here. I’ve seen it a few times (I call this aircraft “my true Love”). But you never know when you’re gonna see it, because of weather and approaches and runaways out of control.
Just about perfect. It's huge, but everything works like a perfect machine. The lines at security checks can be a nightmare though so make sure you have time
I’ve travelled quite a bit and been on many airports, but LHR is the best so far. Everything is so smooth and so well done, including connectivity with the city. It’s just awesome!
So far all the different foods I have tried have been pretty good. This is my 5th layover here in the past few months. Really a decent airport to get around in. Follow the purple when in doubt.
Virgin Atlantic staff is very helpful. Everything in shopping and eating is was WAAAAAY too expensive. I like the chairs with power sockets! Nice touch!
Huge airport and signaling is not always great. Duty free is no my favorite one. By tube from london: picadilly line. Heathrow express may save you some time depending on where you are coming from.
best airport in the world. even if you don't have status on airline -you can easily find fantastic dining options and shops galore. don't miss the ted baker in the corner next to zara! cheers.
Love the upgrades as the facilities are fresh, especially the Queens terminal (number 2). Make sure you give plenty of time (15+ minutes) if traveling around the airport like to a lounge
Caffè Nero at ground floor is a must go. Quite place where charging your devices while enjoying a great coffee. Please notice that is locate before passing the security control.
If you’re lucky, professional musicians may even set your meal’s mood. The London Philharmonic Orchestra has put on its far share of T5 concerts over the years. Read more
One of the best airports in the world, without a doubt. Clean, spacious and relevantly efficient given it is one of the world’s busiest airports. Good shops and airport lounges.
Actually it's a big mall where u can find everything u can imagine, along with cleanliness and order. Attention: smokers won't like it because it's smoke- free airport.
Terminal 2 has excellent shopping and restaurants to keep you busy. Long walk to departure gates so plan ahead. Do not be alarmed by the non-existence departure passport control.
London Heathrow serves over 200 destinations in more than 80 countries. Whether you're arriving, departing or connecting, you'll find everything on the website to make your journey through the airport easy and enjoyable.
