The inside track on Heathrow Express

Speedy? Convenient? Reliable? Yes, yes and yes. If you’re looking for an enjoyable, comfortable and stress-free journey between the airport and central London, Heathrow Express covers all bases. Here’s why over 100 million of you have chosen the fastest way

It’s fast

No one wants to start or end their holiday in a rush, worried they’re going to miss the plane or be late checking into their hotel. Thankfully, Heathrow Express is the fastest way to travel between Heathrow and central London. The high-speed train takes just 15 minutes from Terminals 2 and 3 - and only 21 minutes from Terminal 5 - direct to London Paddington (compared to 42 minutes in a taxi and 51 minutes on the Piccadilly Underground line). Just think, no traffic jams or cab queues either.

It’s convenient

Trains run from early morning to late at night and there are plenty of easy ways to purchase your ticket, including in the airport arrivals area for same-day travel, and online. You can also download the Heathrow Express app, which is available for iOS and Android; you’ll get mobile tickets direct to your smartphone, have access to the lowest fares, as well as be able to check scheduled train times and live departures quickly and easily. Plus, when you download the app, you’ll get 10 percent off your first purchase.

It’s relaxing

The modern fleet of fully-electric trains make your journey as comfortable and effortless as possible. For starters, there’s no step onto the Heathrow Express - level platform access means no struggling with luggage and easy boarding for wheelchairs. Once aboard, kick back in the spacious seats and enjoy the ride: there’s air-conditioning, complimentary 4G-enabled Wi-Fi, at-seat power, and dedicated luggage space, not to mention an Express TV service bringing you the latest BBC World News headlines. Just in case you do need assistance, the Heathrow Express team is always on hand to help with enquiries or requests.

It’s good value

Book in advance and your fare could be as little as £5.50 each way (book 90 days in advance for weekend or bank holiday travel). Plus there’s Duo Saver, if you’re travelling with a loved one; Group Saver for families or large groups; while frequent travellers will love the carnets (12 journeys for the price of nine). And the best bit? Children 15 and under travel for free when accompanied by an adult.

It’s well connected

So you’re heading into London for a spot of sightseeing? Some retail therapy? Gourmet dining overlooking the city skyline? Whatever your whim, you’ll be there in a jiffy; once Heathrow Express has whizzed you into London Paddington, the station has four London Underground lines connecting you to the city’s coolest spots. All you need do is decide where to go.
