OK, so I know all the details for my flight - but wait, how do I get to the airport?!
Here’s the guide you need!
Overview of your options:
- Pre-booked taxi / Uber / Addison Lee - convenient & inexpensive when shared (£40-£60) £££
Our recommended option
- Train - quick & inexpensive (£7-£25, dependent on if you book in advance) ££
- Coach - inexpensive but slower & less convenient (from £5) £

MINI-CAB/SHARED TAXI:
Our recommended option! Buddy-up and it becomes cost effective for all. We DO NOT recommend you use black cabs - it will be very expensive!
Otherwise ask for advice here at the Arcadia London Centre, we can help book a cab for you!
Think about your luggage, not just your pocket!
If you have a lot of luggage: cabs and coaches are best!
If you have a manageable amount: Underground (Heathrow only) and trains are best. There may be stairs involved!
Final Tips!
- Travel with friends or roommates if you can - it can make it cheaper and less stressful.
- Plan early - you don’t want to end up taking an expensive black cab at the last minute!
- If you have an early flight check the public transport is running!
(The tube only runs overnight on Friday and Saturday.)
- Consider your luggage - will a taxi be easiest?
- Always leave enough time to get to the airport.
Finally, safe travels!
