Frequently asked questions

Do I need a business-class ticket to use a lounge at Heathrow? No. Walk-in, pay-on-the-day lounges are open in several terminals, indicative from around £30. See the full lounge guide.

Has the liquids rule at Heathrow really changed? Yes. Since 24 January 2026 all four terminals use CT scanners, so liquids up to 2 litres can stay loose in your bag with no 100ml limit. See the liquid rules guide.

Getting a taxi or transfer Need a door-to-door taxi? For fixed-price, flight-tracked transfers to and from Heathrow Airport, we recommend 247 UK Airport Taxi. Your fare is fixed and quoted before you travel, so drop-off charges, night surcharges and traffic never change what you pay.

We recommend a transport partner and may earn a referral fee. It never changes what you pay, and we only list options we would use ourselves.
