Tips for arriving at London Airport
- Follow airport signs to the Arrivals Hall: Transfer providers typically wait at designated meeting points near exits or information desks. Check your voucher for the exact location information.
- Add a time buffer for luggage and immigration: At Heathrow, allow 20-40 minutes after landing before meeting your driver, especially during peak hours.
- Withdraw local currency if needed: ATMs and currency exchanges are located in the Arrivals area. Some taxis or smaller vendors may not accept cards, so it’s prudent to have cash in hand.

- Connect to airport Wi-Fi: Heathrow offers free Wi-Fi, making coordination with your driver or checking meeting point details easy.
- Know your local transport alternatives: If your pre-booked transfer is delayed, taxis, rideshares, the underground, or buses may serve as a backup. However, check fares and wait times for those before your trip.
- Check terminal assignment before landing: Heathrow has multiple terminals, so verify your landing terminal and meeting point in advance to avoid confusion.
- Keep your phone accessible: Enable roaming or data upon arrival. Your driver may call or message you for meeting point coordination.
