From: Andy Bonwick on 22 Jul 2010 17:10 I've never used this service and I'm wondering whether or not it's a good idea. I've got a 22:30 flight out of Heathrow on Monday night and I arrive back at about 19:30 on Friday night and I've got the choice between catching the train from Bedford, hopping over to wherever it is the Express goes from and toddling off to Heathrow and then reversing the journey on the Friday evening or driving down and parking at one of the long stay car parks. Cost doesn't matter because it's a business trip so all I care about is the hassle factor. Which way should I do it? I'll be carrying a rather large hold all with PPE, laptop and clothing for a week and on the way back I'll have duty free tabs to worry about so I reckon drive down is better but I'm open to suggestions. The client won't pay for a business class ticket and a chauffeur driven limo to and from home so don't suggest that idea.

Free parking under whichever terminal it is, and a quicker trip home. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Triumph Street Triple Honda CB400F Suzuki TS250 Suzuki GN250 chateaudotmurrayatidnetdotcom Nothing damages a machine more than an ignoramus with a manual, a can-do attitude and a set of cheap tools

When we did Oz last year, it was the best decision I made. When we landed at LHR on Friday morning, the thought of hacking our way through the rush hour was just hideous. Walking out of departures and seeing the little sign with our name on it was great :) It wasn't *that* expensive either. -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) 116 Giulietta 3.0l Sprint 1.7 GTV TS GT 3.2 V6 Triumph Sprint ST 1050: It's blue, see. www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk |
