Utterly dependable, Heathrow Express is there for a comfortable, easy to navigate option to help the airline traveler. There are so many delays and unforeseen problems when traveling. I always book Heathrow Express at the same time I book my flights from Boston to London. The discount from booking in advance is terrific. And comforting when there are so many expenses one encounters in traveling !

The service was smooth , fast and convenient to use. We were a group of four, each with suitcases and backpacks to lug around. The ability to move from the airport to Paddington Station, without transferring in stations with stairs, was a luxury.

Efficient, fast, easy to follow directions. A great way to take stress out of getting from airport to accommodation or close to. Thoroughly recommend it for any travellers to London.

We arrived on a flight from Portugal that had a 14 hr layover on our way home to Vancouver. Our goal was to make the best use of it. We booked a hotel near Piccadilly Station, got our UK ETAs and used the Heathrow Express to blast downtown in 15 minutes and back again the next morning. Got 6 hrs sleep and 4 hours of sightseeing by foot. Hyde Park, St James Park, the London Eye, Buckingham Palace and many more sights. The Heathrow express saved us enough time to pull off our 'Taste of London' experience. Btw, we booked express tickets well in advance to save big bucks.

Buying advance fares on Heathrow express worked out very well. Pulling up the bookings infront of the turnstiles at Heathrow underground was unnerving because of the poor cell connection. Consider being able to transfer the bookings to Apple Wallet.

Using the headout site was quick and easy. Much faster and efficient than using the actual Heathrow site. I wasn't able to bring up the QR code first my ticket and had to open the PDF instead. But I will be using this service again.

Hop on the Heathrow Express and zoom directly to London Paddington Station and the heart of London in under 20 minutes.

These one-way transfers are the fastest ways to and out of Central London, with connections running every 15 minutes across the day.

Onboard, you can stow away your luggage, kick back in AC coaches, charge your devices at your seat, and stay connected with free Wi-Fi.

Book your ticket 30 days in advance to knock a few bucks off the fare. The further ahead you book, the higher the discount you avail!

Once you reach London Paddington, hop on any of the intra-city transport services and underground lines to take you to popular destinations.
