The busiest airport in the world, the first encounter with London Heathrow Airport experienced a few days of high temperature in Beijing, finally ushered in my British travel. The initial encounter with this country is naturally London Heathrow Airport. As one of the busiest airports in the UK and Europe, you can see one flight next to it and experience a long time to enter. Environment London Heathrow Airport has 5 terminals. After landing, follow the signs to guide the entry. The guidelines are clear. The direction and location are clearly marked. As long as you understand everyday English. It is easy to find the way to go. Shopping Because you have just arrived at the airport, there is no excessive shopping plan, so take the time to go through the immigration formalities. If you forget to buy a calling card when you first arrive in London, you don't have to worry about it. In addition to taking your baggage, you can also sell a British phone card in a nearby vending machine, and you can choose according to your needs. There is a supermarket in the lobby lobby where you can buy something of interest. There is a free shuttle bus in the airport that can travel between several terminals. It is also easy to find buses and taxis and subways that enter the city. The time is about an hour. You can download Uber and other apps in advance, you can choose the model you need according to the number of people in the same line. The driver service attitude of the UK is very good, that is, the taxi fare is relatively high, and it is more cost-effective for many people to travel. Note I am taking the Heathrow airport from Air China. The bridge of Air China is very far from the terminal. It takes at least 15 minutes to arrive, so whether it is departing or arriving. , you have to calculate the time, so as not to catch up with the plane!

I loved every second of my trip!

This trip was everything I hoped for and more. I returned from home with a heart full of memories. All thanks to trip.com for no hassle booking and up to date flight information. I did not get lost in the airport and traveling alone was never hard.#saudia #travel

First Time User to Power User!

First time user with Trip.com and the flight booking experience was a breeze! The booking was made within 3 days of the scheduled flight so expectedly I was anxious at first given it was said to take them 48 hours to confirm the booking. It certainly took them less than the stated time and it was smooth sailing all the way. Trip is my go-to travel app now.

Heathrow Airport: the best and worst terminals.

#uktrip On your next visit to London, you might be wondering what your arrival into the city will be like. If you are flying into London Heathrow Airport, here are the best and worst first impressions of London. How to find out your terminal: To find out what terminal you're flying into, it should say on your boarding pass LHR and then the letter T followed by a number 2-5. For example, it may say LHR T3. This will mean you are flying into terminal 3, with the number meaning the terminal. Terminal 1: Terminal 1 has been closed since 2015 and you cannot fly into it anymore. Terminal 2: Nicknamed "The Queens's Terminal", this was my favourite by far. The purple lighting was such an amazing aesthetic, and it was very clean and professional. The signage is helpful and it isn't too crowded. Terminal 3: It's alright but not that great. If you are flying with Virgin Atlantic, Delta, Emirates, or most major Asian airlines you will fly from here. There are a lot of shops, lounges and check in desks. Terminal 4: My least favourite terminal. We only saw arrivals, but it was very overcrowded and felt cramped. Not too many shops but a very easy plane to train transfer. Terminal 5: It's very modern and there's a lot of open space. It was my second favourite terminal and was very efficient. It had be a cool design and automatic cars that drove on a private, elevated road to a car park which we tried out. In Conclusion: 1. Terminal 2/The Queen's Terminal 2. Terminal 5 3. Terminal 3 4. Terminal 4 Thank you for reading my article!

Nice

Don't you know about the Moutai lounge where you can drink as you please?

When I was in London, the weather was nice. It takes about forty minutes to get from Park Lane Intercontinental to Heathrow T2 by taxi without traffic. The taxi queue outside the hotel to T2 costs 72 pounds, plus a 5-pound terminal drop off fee for a total of 77 pounds. The CA856 flight at 17:40 London time from Heathrow T2 was not crowded that evening, and it took a total of ten minutes for check-in and security. Air China is always in Zone B, so head that way after security and shopping. In Zone B, there are United Airlines, Air Canada, and Singapore Airlines lounges, but the Singapore Airlines lounge is under renovation and is expected to take another four months. The 5-pound drop off fee at Heathrow T2 is mandatory and will be collected with the taxi fare. It costs 77 pounds from Park Lane, and there was one time I took a taxi from T2 to Westminster for 120 pounds. There were four or five counters open at the Air China desk at T2, and after checking in and security, I headed straight for the Zone B lounge. I wanted to go to the Singapore Airlines lounge, but it was under renovation, so I went to the Air Canada lounge across from it. The Air Canada lounge was not too crowded, the hot meal was tomato meatballs with rice which was decent, and there was a self-service Moutai bar. Outside the lounge's floor-to-ceiling windows was a busy scene of 'planes coming and going'.

Big Smoke Taphouse

#familytrips2024 Visited Big Smoke Taphouse restaurant while transiting in London airport. Tried two of their signature dishes. Big Smoke Brisket Burger: this is really yummy and huge in portion. Loaded with two beef patties and beef brisket with lots of cheese. The fries at the side were also super crispy and fresh! Love it. Cajun spiced chicken wings well marinated and juicy
