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...:)

This is the main British Airways terminal at LHR and is large and well-equipped…read more If you're traveling in first or have one world emerald status you can use the beautiful British Airways first check in area which has its own check-in area with a private security screening that leads directly to the British Airways first lounge. 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.

Celebrated terminal with duty free and luxury shopping…read more Not a lot of charge spots. Could use some more seating. Couple of lounges anyone can use for a fee- does not require club membership. Plenty restrooms which are large and continuously cleaned. Several restaurants to choose from. Two coffee options: Starbucks and a cart which is really good.

Somehow due to daylight savings, it got messed up and the Bus arrived 1 hr late... not a pleasant experience. The airport is not that huge, and it's easy to navigate. We got our luggage in no time (it was like 1 AM, so ofcourse no rush was there) and we were the only ones there. ofcourse it's too far from central London and they have Luton Airport Express. to reach LTN - simply hop on a train at St Pancras International to arrive at Luton Airport Parkway, and then take a DART Shuttle to the terminal, all in as little as 32 minutes. It's a fast and seamless way to get to the departure gate. easy check-in, security was quick and hassle-free... lots of shops to browse (or buy) or restaurants to eat... standard Starbucks, Costa, Burger King, MS Simply food. and ofcourse it's cheaper ;)

I like flying to and from Gatwick. The experience has always been less hectic than traveling to…read moreHeathrow. Perhaps because it's smaller. We used this airport quite a bit when we were stationed in the UK. Not that it was closer. It was just more convenient back then since there was a bus that would transport us back to the base. Our most recent experience was just as nice. We were dropped off at the terminal via a NCL chartered transfer from the Southampton cruise terminal. Checking in through British Airways was a breeze. We had no issues going through security. In fact, the security officers were actually quite pleasant. There was a big duty free store that we had to walk through before getting to the south terminal. The BA lounges were all easy to find after that. We had a delay before boarding, but BA kept us informed the entire time. I'm writing this review now because it may be the last time we fly out of Gatwick again. British Airways will be flying a new route from Tampa to London Heathrow later this year. Hopefully it will be just as convenient after the change.

We took a direct Norse flight from Los Angeles Airport (LAX) into London Gatwick Airport (LGW)…read more They are a secondary hub for British Airways and one of the largest operating bases for budget flights. My experience with this airline is only as an arrival, as I travelled through other parts of Europe by train and by air. The arrival was quite smooth as far as international travel is concerned. We were able to get through customs quickly. However sadly no stamp on the passport for the international travel. Restrooms had abundant stalls but there were really busy. The handwashing stations were individually in each stall. I had a decent experience in the women's stalls where I was comfortable enough to brush my teeth and wash my face. However my boyfriend mentioned that the men's side was really gross, not clean enough to clean up and reset after the long flight. My favorite thing about this airport is that it is connected to a train system that will take you into central London or whichever surrounding area you need to get to. Navigating was pretty simple. A quick and convenient arrival. I would consider flying back into this airport in the future.

I like LCY as an alternative to the massive facility that is LHR or the remote option that is GTW…read more Servicing over 30 destinations via seven airlines, more than 3 million passengers per year use this airport. LCY is easy to navigate and very manageable. It's also easy to get there via the Docklands Light Rail. There are not a lot of amenities at the airport, but there are enough to help pass the time with a coffee or allow you to buy a souvenir I like to use LCY when I am flying to or from the northern continent. Rotterdam has been the destination both times I have used this airport. It's an easy option, mostly used by business travelers and one that continues to be attractive to me when my logistics allow.

The atmosphere is very laid back and low stress. When booking your flights to or from London LCY is a superior choice to Heathrow or Gatwick. (Provided you are on the east side of London) Checking in and security was fast; we were at the gate in about 10 minutes from curbside. Drop-off is right next to the terminal entrance. There are plenty of restaurants, sundry stores, and newsstands too. This airport is fast, convenient, clean, and relaxed. Double highly recommend.

A really nice location to get out of the hustle and bustle of the airport traffic! Had a delicious scrambled egg on toast breakfast, with feta cheese and pomegranate! Highly recommend!

First time flying in/out of Stansted…read more I was pleasantly surprised. We took the train since we were departing and did not want to chance being late. (When we arrived we saved money and rode on the Flibbus which took about 1.5 hours to get to London but we were on an early flight so we did not feel like we wasted any time.) Once we got off the train we just followed the crowds to the entrance. Again, I am glad that we had time. We did not have any bags to check so we went straight through to security. The line was long but the staff were outstanding and directed people to the proper lanes which made it go quickly. Once through security there are more than enough shops, restaurants, seats and restrooms. Duty Free was great since I wanted Cartwright & Butler cookies. I was also able to grab some Fortnum & Mason treats, Whittard teas. TIP-if you shopped to much in London just buy a 10p bag at Duty Free. All airlines allow one bag from the airport and these do not count as your carry on. It does not have to be the DF bag and I did notice that the WHSmith and JD Sport bags looked to have held more. There are several water refill stations. The restrooms are clean, secure. All throughout the airport are benches and seats. It was very crowded but was able to find seats. If you are arriving there is also a small Duty Free you can grab some treats (like the ones mentioned above) before leaving the airport. There are a lot of other really nice shops to shop at for clothes, food, shoes. The only thing we did not find was somewhere to buy cheese.

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.

Heathrow terminal 2 serves Star Alliance including United, Thai, Lufthansa, Singapore and others…read more Security is well organized and expeditious each time I have been through. 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 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.
