Who writes Heathrow Airport Guide

Independent London Airport travel guide · not affiliated with Heathrow Airport.

Airport rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Skytrax 4-Star

Heathrow Airport Guide is written and maintained by a small independent editorial team, not by Heathrow Airport or any airline. Most pages, routes, parking, transport comparisons, FAQs, are staff-written and dated with when we last checked the facts against a primary source.

What's automated

The live travel updates in /news include two kinds of content. Most are written and posted by a human editor. Some, mainly flight-delay and cancellation summaries pulled from live departure-board data, are generated automatically from that data and published without a human reading each one first, credited as "Auto newsroom" so it's clear which is which. Automated posts state only what the data shows; they don't speculate on causes.

Corrections and accountability

We get things wrong sometimes. See our corrections policy for how to flag an error and how we handle it.

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.
