    This is the UK's largest airport. Located about 14 miles from Central London. With traffic,expect the driving time to be about an hour to and from the city. Going thru customs was very easy with facial recognition as was luggage claim. Airport is very well marked considering it's age. During High Season tho their might be delays with so many passengers flying in and out of the airport.

    Heathrow is large and widely spread out. It's easy to navigate but make sure you have time. I went to the lounge and my gate's signage was next to the lounge so I thought I was close. In actuality it took me 10 minutes to walk to my gate! There are plenty restaurants and souvenir shops. Mostly the same as in the U.S. but plenty nevertheless. Comfortable seating at the gates with outlets. Heathrow is at the top of my list for international airports.

    Clean, Beautiful and easy to navigate this airport. Super friendly & helpful airport workers and such easy directions and walking distance to the terminals. Excellent and efficient execution in Security/immigration. Such focused people doing their job at the best. Common waiting place gets a bit crowded but tons of restaurants, coffee places, browsing area to look into. If you have an access to a lounge, it will be awesome.

    Heathrow Airport is where I landed when I came to London from Los Angeles. I landed in terminal 2 which is named the Queen Terminal. This was my second time in London and my first time was also landing in Heathrow Airport as well. The landing was fine, exiting the plane was good, going through the broader agent was simple and picking up my baggage was great. I also flew out from Heathrow to go to Germany which was my layover before going home to Los Angeles. The only issue I experience here was the check in desk was not open until like an hour before my departure. Then the walk from the baggage drop off and security was far.

    Not much to rave about here. Getting around this airport is surprisingly cumbersome, often requiring multiple transfers between buses and trains just to reach your destination. The food options are also underwhelming. While I didn't visit every terminal, I did spend time in the major ones. There are a few snack stands and a couple of decent restaurants, but very little that is both quick and genuinely good. The sit-down restaurants I tried were solid, but they're not always practical when you're short on time. My biggest frustration was Terminal 5. The gates are incredibly far from the main food and shopping area, and a glass wall runs down the middle of the corridor with very few crossover points. To make matters worse, when an arriving flight is deplaning, sections of the hallway are closed off, forcing passengers to wait around 20 minutes before they can continue walking. It's an unnecessarily inconvenient design that makes navigating the terminal far more frustrating than it should be.

    Easy entry to the UK as long as you already registered ahead of time

    Very easy entry process to the UK. You do have to register ahead of time on their governments website. It costs a bit, but it's good for a few years. Although once you're exiting the airport, it's confusing where to go to get picked up by Uber. We had to ask someone. You gotta take the elevator to level 1, which is the carport (garage), and then you walk to Row R. You'll see the group of people waiting. Although there's no signs to lead you there. You just gotta start walking 'til you walk in the direction of Row R.

    This is a very busy airport and a bit of a challenge to navigate, especially when you fly in and have a connecting flight in a different terminal. Since we missed our connecting flight due to a delay with the incoming flight, we ended up getting re-booked for a flight 6 hours later. Not fun. But, this airport has tons of high end shops, if that is your gig. I was not impressed by their deletion of good places to eat, though. They do have sections of general seating areas, which are nice, especially with all the throngs of people going in every direction and all at one time.

    Heathrow Terminal One was gross. Landed here on a brief layover from Belfast. I've been to other terminals and they're clean and less crammed. Usually, this airport is very good. Terminal One was having a bad congested day!

    Finally got to experience it. Heathrow is massive!!! Get ready to get a good amount of steps. Great to use the rail system to get to and from the airport.

    Heathrow Airport was pretty smooth to fly in and out of when I traveled to London. Flights were on time and security was pretty smooth. I also found a cool British store beyond security where I purchased a tshirt and socks. There were tons of food options and restrooms were readily available. Our Delta gate was quite a hike from security at one end of the airport. Along our journey I noticed little cubby holes where passengers could relax or even lay down for a nap. That was cool as I've never seen this in any other airport. One was large enough for two people to fit inside. The longest wait was when we arrived and went through immigration. One of my travel companions was in a wheel chair. This line was shorter but we still waited roughly 30 minutes. I hope to go back to London again and it's always less stressful once you've experienced an airport so you know what to expect.

    Not bad at all! Quick moving all throughout, from getting the boarding pass, through check in, and security. Clean. Lively. Big and spacious. Easy to navigate and great signage. No negatives whatsoever.

    You can see when your gate will be announced.

We also transited through this terminal on our way to London, and the security screening wait was minimal, but it definitely can get very busy at times. There are tons of dining and shopping opportunities here. They also have a complimentary personal shopper service you can use to help you with your shopping including locating items ahead of time and escorting you to various stores. The British Airways lounges here are great particularly the Concorde room. Be aware of your departure gate as long haul services typically depart from B and C gates which requires an underground train ride from the main terminal and some additional time.

I planned a well deserved vacation enroute back to Kenya from London, stealing an opportunity of a lifetime to visit and immerse myself in the African country of Seychelles. The Seychelles, in my opinion, is a close to a perfect tropical paradise as you can imagine, but I'll keep looking. My first leg of this journey was flying from Heathrow Airport to Doha aboard Qatar Airways, which is always a real pleasure.  A short two hour layover there, then off into the wild blue to Mahe Island, Seychelles.   We are staying at the Anantara Maia resort, an ocean front masterpiece of nature, beauty and tropical architecture. Being met by their transport vehicle complete with a cool minty fresh washcloth and cool tropical drink did add to my accolades for them,  even before setting eyes on their beautiful locale.  For those dreaming of locations such as fiji, while they are still on my list, shouldn't sleep on the Seychelles, one of the finest on the Indian Ocean.

I tried calling the company responsible way too many times to count since the day after my luggage was promised to be delivered to me had passed, but no one ever picked up, and I was unable to leave a voicemail. I managed to find baggage enquiries at this terminal, but instead of being able to talk to someone, it was just a call box. I managed to speak to an employee who graciously took the time to escort me to an unauthorized office of the airport, so I can speak with the right person that could help me. This individual went above and beyond to try to locate my luggage. He was unable to due to no fault of his own (apparently the luggage system crashed at the airport the connecting airport in Belgrade). He took down my info along with my file reference number so he can pass this along, so my luggage could hopefully be shipped to me. He even gave me advice on what to do if it is not returned to me after a certain period of time. I wish I remembered the names of these two employees that went out of their way to help me. They made an anxious experience into a brighter one with their help. I'd also like to add that this was my sixth time flying into or out of Heathrow airport, and I always had a nice experience, thankfully.

AA and BA Lounges have better food, IMHO. But to shell out almost £25 pounds (Virgin Atlantic members get discounts, FYI)? I don't know. Definitely not the best lounge I've been to, and I would only advise to get your money's worth is to spend 3 hours and snack your way to a meal.
