Stopped from Boarding in Heathrow travelling to Malaysia via Singapore VFTF Last week, I flew from London Heathrow to Malaysia, with a layover of more than 24 hours in Singapore. I hold an Indian passport and a long-term UK visa (BRP).

Best way from Heathrow to hotel Our November trip to London is quickly approaching and I’m looking at how best to get to our hotel from terminal 5 at LHR. I’ve looked at the Tube options and would be cool with that but my only concern is I don’t want to be a jerk on public transit with a bunch of luggage and a lack of a clue. I’ve also looked into a car service, which is of co…

Sending domestic mail to myself from Heathrow airport? I’m flying into Heathrow Terminal 4 at 6am and flying out to Belfast Terminal 5 at 5pm same day. My flight going to Heathrow allows me check in up to 30kg but my flight to Belfast only allows for 23kg. As these are different bookings, I’ll need to check my luggage in again. At first I thought I’d just pack for 23kg which wastes the first extra 7…

Europcar Heathrow Rental Scam I just want people to be wary of ‘free upgrades’ when renting a car from these people. I originally paid 190GBP for a prebooked car a month out. When I came to pick up the car they told me I could have a free upgrade to an estate car which I agreed to because it was free. They said they had too many on the lot and needed them gone. I signed some…

JFK > Heathrow > Glasgow Flight Hi all, I have an upcoming trip with Virgin Atlantic and British Airways. I bought the tickets together, not separately. I will also be checking a bag. As far as I’ve read, the checked bag will be transferred on its own, but I’ll prep some clothes in my carry on if there’s any type of delay on getting my bag, so I’m not too concerned about this …

14 hours at London Heathrow I have a 14 hour layover in Heathrow this winter while flying into South Africa. I’ll be there from 8am to 10pm and I was wondering if anybody ever got out of heathrow on a long layover.

Would you rather transfer through Heathrow or CGD? I thought Heathrow was the worst airport ever – then I went through CDG. I have to regularly travel a route which involves a layover in one of these airports. Or Amsterdam. Seems pretty conclusive; will deal with Heathrow’s obsession with limiting liquids and multi step transfer journeys. submitted by /u/SensitiveGrape9034
