Anyone familiar with Heathrow airport

[(Anonymous)]

Kind of a random one here but: I am trying to plan ahead and buy a coach ticket in advance. How long should I give myself between scheduled plane landing and when the coach leaves? I was thinking 2hrs? I will not have any checked bags.

My rule of thumb has always been 1.5 hours for smaller airports, 2+ hours for bigger but functioning airports, and 4+ hours for absolute chaos portals. That's Heathrow btw, and it's tourist season.

oh ignore me, I'm about to fall asleep and thought you meant going from one plane to another *facepalm*

NEVERMIND.

2 hours is generous

Re: Anyone familiar with Heathrow airport

You gave me a start with 4 hrs!

But yeah maybe I could have been clearer. Landing in London, then taking a bus to Bath to meet up with friends. But I was just looking and if I pay $10 extra I can get a ticket where I can adjust the time so I will probably just do that.

I have no advice for Heathrow other than to say I hate that airport. Next time I go to the UK I will go to any other airport than Heathrow.

Re: Anyone familiar with Heathrow airport

Yeah my British friends advised that, but it was the only direct flight and half the price. I've never been, maybe after this trip I'll decide the price and multiple stops are worth flying elsewhere, who knows!

If you don't have checked bags, 2 hrs is pretty generous. Then again, Heathrow is huge if you don't know it well. I've only been there 3 times and I always give myself 2hrs between arriving and a flight.

Heathrow is huge and extremely chaotic at the best of times. In summer give yourself 3 hours minimum, otherwise I'd say say 2 (with no checked bags).

The last time I was at Heathrow, it was really weird, but given that was July 7, 2005, that makes sense. It's a really big airport, but I seem to recall they had the way to and from ground transport pretty streamlined, though we did take the train.

This is a pretty simplified map, but it should give you a rough idea:

I absolutely hate Heathrow, as a migrant now living in the UK I had my worst border control experiences over there lol, granted, I have a weak passport from a third world country so your experience probably won't be as bad. I'd say give it about 3 hours just to have a safe window to navigate it, because it's BIG and if you take the wrong inner train you can end up in the entirely opposite direction of where you need to be at. There's many cafes and food places around in case you do get time to kill.

Heathrow is also my worst border control experience, and I'm a middle aged white professional on an Australian passport. I had to lie about my profession because the officer could not understand that a person who works for a university isn't a teacher.
