Great service, with modern clean trains and good fare options. Very convenient for Heathrow T5 and T2 & T3, with an early start at 5.12AM from T5, which enabled me to catch my 6AM train in Paddington without any issues. Would definitely recommend.

This was so easy! There were 6 of us traveling together and I had all the digital tickets. Worked like a charm plus the people were so friendly, getting on the correct train! I've already recommended this to other tourists

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.

The ride was very fast and comfort. The distance between luggage claim and the platform was too far to go without knowing the rest distance.

Although the walk was long to get to the platform, it was well marked and easy. The express train got me to Paddington fast and easy.
