This is my 6th visit to Heathrow and I'm very impressed with the wide open, huge, and airy…read moreterminals, especially Terminal 2...The first couple of times it was with Canada Airlines and British Airways and both experiences at the airport for a connecting flight were fine. These last four times involved actually leaving the airport and spending time in London...and when disembarking, it's very smooth getting through immigration and getting to the carousel. Also, whether taking a legendary Black Cab or catching an Uber, it's pretty easy by following the signage... When arriving to the airport, once again, the Uber drop off zone is very clear and checking-in is very easy...getting through Security is also very quick, no need to take your toiletries or laptop out - they have sophisticated X-rays. That wasn't the case in 2024... Once past Security, there are a number of excellent shops and restaurants and the lounges are incredible...I really love England, London, and Heathrow...:)

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.

Plenty restrooms which are large and continuously cleaned. Several restaurants to choose from. Two coffee options: Starbucks and a cart which is really good.

Arriving here was simple and going to the custom agent was fine. Baggage claim was simple and going to the parking structure was easy. The issue I had was when I came to leave London. My flight was a morning flight at 6am so I arrived early at 3am to check in my bag with Lufthansa airline. But they don't open the baggage check in until 5am. So I had to line up because everyone was waiting and the line started extending. Once the bags were checked in, we now had to wait for TSA to open and that had a line. Then I had to take the long walk to get to my departing gate. The waiting area at the departing gate did not have a power outlet to charge your phone.

Inbound it was fully automated for US Passport and certain other countries. Once you clear security, it is a solid 15 - 20 minute hike to the United gates and club. Plenty of bathrooms and restaurants. Wide walkways and mining walkways if you prefer. 30 - 90 minutes (12 miles) to central London depending on traffic. Train is 60 minutes.

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. Succulent local fruits and veggies await thy palates (since going plant based, I can only attest to their veggies, fruits and they fed my sweet tooth well with intricate local pastries .  I had the privilege of 8 nights there, which still wasn't enough. I love it when a plan comes together .

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.
