LHR-London Heathrow

This might be a slightly unusual question. My best friend is currently on a long-distance trip and has a 6-hour layover at Heathrow Airport. I live about 2 hours away by flight within Europe. Situation: I am wondering if it would be possible for me to meet him inside the airport...

Hello everyone, I’ll be arriving at Heathrow Airport with my parents and we need a transfer to Cambridge. Public transport such as the tube or coach isn’t suitable for us because my mom has mobility issues following two recent knee surgeries. I’ve been looking into private...

I’ll be traveling on British Airways Flight BA287 to SFO tomorrow and have the ability to guest two people into the Concorde Room. I’m offering this to travelers who are flying in World Traveller (WT) or World Traveller Plus (WT+) without status that provides lounge access....

A travel planning question about whether it is feasible to make an 11:03 train from London King’s Cross railway station after landing at Heathrow Airport at 7:45 a.m. The plan involves clearing immigration and customs, then taking the Piccadilly Line from Heathrow into central...

Posting this in case it reaches the right person. On Lufthansa flight VL2478 from Munich to London Heathrow on March 8, a black Dell laptop backpack disappeared from the overhead bin near seat 31C after landing. It looks like someone may have taken the wrong bag by mistake. The...

Flew Air India 131 from Mumbai to London and ran into a frustrating situation at baggage claim. Waited at the carousel until all the bags came out but mine never showed up. The only thing left was an identical suitcase, which makes it look like another passenger probably grabbed...

First off, you’ll be fine. Heathrow handles tons of solo travelers every day. 1. Immigration Since you’re 16, you won’t use the e-gates. When you arrive, just follow the big “Arrivals” and “UK Border” signs. There will be two clearly marked areas: e-gates and “All Other...

Saw someone asking this about a weeklong London stay. They booked a single room and want a friend to stay over for just one night with a sleeping bag. No breakfast, no amenities, nothing fancy. Friend would leave early. Honestly, this really comes down to the hotel policy. A lot...

Someone just posted from a DEN to LHR flight and said United was making repeated gate announcements about the new UK ETA requirement. If you don’t have an ETA linked to your non UK passport, you’re not boarding. They were apparently checking at the gate with facial recognition...

My wife and I are flying Dublin to Charlotte with an 8 hour layover at Heathrow. I’m getting mixed info online about whether a UK ETA is required in this situation. Since we’re coming from Ireland, do we have to go through UK border control at Heathrow? Or is it treated as a...

Staying in Greenwich and flying out of Gatwick at 8:30am on a Sunday. Citymapper is giving me 2+ hour routes in the middle of the night and I’m a bit confused. What’s the most reliable early morning option? I’m fine grabbing an Uber to a main station if that makes it easier....

Just a heads up because this hurt. Flying Berlin to London with a minor. The app said we had to go to the check in counter to print boarding passes because they couldn’t be issued digitally. I figured it was because I was traveling with a child. Got there 3 hours early. At the...

That’s not normal. LHR to CLT is a long haul and PE should absolutely have a full meal service. “Refreshments for purchase” is what economy short haul shows, not transatlantic PE. This sounds like a classic AA IT issue, especially since you mentioned it was a late added flight /...

Had some family news and need to get to CDMX pretty urgently. Looking to fly from London, any airport, to Mexico City, any airport. Ideally in the next couple of days, but I need to land no later than Jan 4. It doesn’t need to be nonstop, but I have to avoid transiting the US...

Posting this as a quick heads up. The SAS Connect London cabin crew strike is already impacting operations at LHR. Several flights to and from CPH, OSL, and ARN have either operated empty, been delayed, or cancelled over the last couple of days. Some services were last minute...

Flying out of Heathrow T5 on Nov 20 and wondering if I should prebook a Priority Pass lounge. First time using it and don’t want to get turned away if it’s packed. Anyone know how busy T5 usually gets?

Currently in London and staying at a mid-range hostel I’d stayed at a few months ago. First night, my wool hat disappeared thought maybe I dropped it. A few days later, I came back from a day trip and realized my electric shaver was gone from inside my locker. The next day, I...
