Utterly dependable, Heathrow Express is there for a comfortable, easy to navigate option to help the airline traveler. There are so many delays and unforeseen problems when traveling. I always book Heathrow Express at the same time I book my flights from Boston to London. The discount from booking in advance is terrific. And comforting when there are so many expenses one encounters in traveling !

The service was smooth , fast and convenient to use. We were a group of four, each with suitcases and backpacks to lug around. The ability to move from the airport to Paddington Station, without transferring in stations with stairs, was a luxury.

Heathrow Express was easy to locate at the airport. It was a fast, quiet, comfortable ride to Paddington station. Definitely worth booking in advance for £10.
