Serving over 180 destinations all over the world and 67 million passengers each year, London Heathrow is one of Europe’s top hub airports. The 90 airlines operating out of its four terminals offer frequent flights to the most popular business and leisure destinations across the world: for example, the 24 daily services to New York mean travellers can do business according to their timetable.
But travelling can be stressful, no matter how convenient the commute. As one of the world’s busiest airports, however, Heathrow has developed the perfect infrastructure to minimise the hassle of international flight.
For those arriving by car, Heathrow Business Parking offers premium convenience. The car parks are closer to the terminals than long stay, with more frequent and faster transfers offering reliability and peace of mind. Alternatively, the official Heathrow Valet parking service offers sheer simplicity: travellers drop off their car at the forecourt, and upon return it is waiting. By train it’s just as easy: the Heathrow Express takes just 15-20 minutes from Paddington station.
Travellers who like to check in with plenty of spare time can relax and recharge in one of Heathrow’s many bars, cafes and restaurants. Each terminal offers options for every type of traveller, from grab and go sandwiches and sushi for those in a hurry, to fine dining for those with more time on their hands.
Heathrow’s terminals have around 500 retail outlets offering everything from beauty products to travel accessories and clothes. From the high end of fashion with Harrods or Mulberry to essentials from Boots and WH Smith, travellers won’t get caught short, and the benefits of airport pricing offer great savings on just about everything, from the latest technology and gadgets to watches and jewellery.
Airlines at Heathrow have some of the best business facilities anywhere in the world. Space to relax and work is provided in the Servisair lounges in terminals one and three, and the Holideck lounge in terminal four. The business class airline lounges at Heathrow have been voted best in the world by business travellers, from recent additions such as Bmi’s sleek new lounge to firm favourites like Virgin Atlantic’s 2,500sq m flagship Clubhouse. In terminal five there are British Airways’ stunning Galleries Club lounges, and in terminal four, Skyteam and Etihad have brand new facilities for their premium customers.
