Heathrow Airport Information

More that 64 million passengers fly from London Heathrow International Airport (LHR) every year and over 90 airlines are based at Heathrow, flying to international and domestic destinations. Major airlines include British Airways, Lufthansia, Virgin, United Airlines, Emirates, Cathay Pacific, Iberia, Air France and Alitalia.

The Airport has four terminals - Terminals 1,2 & 3 are close to each other and terminal 4 is housed in a separate building - There is an Inter Terminal train called the Heathrow Express that links the terminals. The Heathrow Express services all four terminals at Heathrow Airport with one station for Terminals 1, 2, and 3 and a one for Terminal 4.

Heathrow Airport Hotel Hoppa

Because of the pressure of traffic in and around the Heathrow airport area the airport authorities have devised a system of buses that run regularly to and from the airport.
Instead of each hotel having their own arrangements the "Hotel Hoppa" buses operate to 3 or 4 hotels on each route from Terminals 1,2 & 3.
There is a charge for this service of £5.00 per person return and £3.00 one way. Children under 5 travel free.
Children between 5 and 15 go free if there is an accompanying adult for each child.

Heathrow Airport Security Arrangements/Check-in

15,000 banned items are being confiscated every day from passengers, at Heathrow, Stansted and Gatwick airports. The whole system has slowed down because people are still carrying sharp objects in their hand luggage. In the UK an extra £30m of additional investment has been ploughed into airport security and improving surveillance at the major airports. Tighter security measures at UK Airports means that checking in for your flight at Heathrow airport can take longer.

Baggage Allowances/Luggage Restrictions

The majority of airlines base their allowances on recommendations from the International Air Transport Association (IATA). If your hold baggage is heavier than the allowance, the airline is entitled to charge an excess baggage charge. If your cabin luggage is overweight or too big, you might be asked to check it in to the hold. If doing so takes your hold luggage above your hold baggage allowance, you might have to pay excess baggage charges. Sometimes, you will get right to the boarding gate before you are asked to check your bags into the hold.

Heathrow Airport Terminal Information

Airport Facilities include bureaux de change, ATMs, hotel reservation and travel information desks, car hire, post offices in Terminals 2 and 4, fax machines, a prescription pharmacy in Terminal 1, shops, duty-free outlets, restaurants, cafés and bars, and a London Tourist Board centre in the underground station.
