London Heathrow Airport (LHR)

Being an avid traveller, I frequently use Heathrow airport. I've had very mixed experiences of the place, from the good to the downright insane. Heathrow airport is situated about 15 miles west of London and can be accessed in a variety of ways. There is a multi storey carpark, which is pretty expensive, even for short stays, or you can just use the drop off area. Then there is the rail-air link, a bus which travels very frequently from Reading to the airport, costing £14 single or £22 open return when booked online, or £45 for a family. Then there is the Heathrow Express which connects the airport to Paddington station and costs £16.50 single. But finally, ...  Read the complete review

London Heathrow is the busiest airport in Britain and is also one of the busiest in the world. This airport should not just be known for its size but also for it's quality. I would really like to see this airport expand as it would help it stay being one of the biggest and busiest airports in the world. The last time I flew from Heathrow was different to the other times I've flown from there. That is because it was from the new terminal 5 and I must say it was one of the best airport terminals I have ever been in and I have been in alot of them in my time. To me it doesn't matter which terminal you fly from at Heathrow because all of them are great. I would like them to ...  Read the complete review

Heathrow Airport is the busiest International Airport in the world and is also the principle airport serving the city of London, and the United Kingdom. It is famous for it's huge size, volume of passengers and vast number of potential destinations, and I figured that some people who have never passed through this establishment may be keen to hear from passengers who have.

Most recently, I flew to Los Angeles at the beginning of the month on Virgin Atlantic from Terminal 3. Heathrow is fairly easy to get to, either by ...  Read the complete review

Dooyoo Heathrow Airport Terminal Five. Anyone driving past Heathrow airport on the M25 can not fail to notice the magnificent building that is terminal five especially at night when it is lit up. Terminal five is a state of the art building which is the largest free standing structure in the United Kingdom. It has been specifically designed to be energy efficient and is built mainly of steel and glass. It is used exclusively by British Airways and was opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth on the 14th of March 2008 and built at a cost of over £4 billion pounds. It is capable of handling 30 million passengers a year which will take the load off the ...  Read the complete review

LHR is an easy target for criticism and it gets its fair share but it is an airport of contrast. Terminal 3 dirty overcrowded cramped chaos. I have used it several times for flights to Austria. Check in is at 5am for a 6am flight and guess what nothing is open you cannot get a drink for love nor money. When you return What a welcome to our country total chaos with a queue stretching into the distance as you reach passport control I swear I will never pass through T3 again I will go via Schipol or Paris Terminal 5 complete contrast why cannot all travel be like this. everything flowed like clockwork - ok check in was a bit of a pain but apart ...  Read the complete review
