hi Jen,

I'm travelling by bus up from Bristol, no idea about distances in London, but at Heathrow the Flight Link bus stops at the central bus station which is 5 minutes walk from terminals 1 and 2, if you follow a walk way inside the terminal 1 & 2 building it will take you across to terminal 4 undercover, about another 10 minutes with a luggage trolley.

Hi Ozzy,

My visa came back about 3 weeks ago, so I would chase it up if I were you, I had to sign for it special delivery so I'm sure it's safe.

There is a free bus service to T4 from the central bus station ..no need to walk with luggage ...i shall be using it after coming in on the bus from Reading .

From Terminals 1,2 or 3. (also central area and bus station)

to: Terminal 4. Take the Heathrow Connect. Alternatively use the 555 (19 minutes) bus from outside arrivals.

Hi everyone,

I'm going on this trip departing 4th November and I just wanted to say thanks for all the tips in your thread, they've been really helpful in getting everything sorted.

I've added a few of my own, including information on currency, and listed them in the Nov thread - feel free to wander over there for a read :o)

Have a great trip everyone, I wonder if we'll bump into each other at all as you'll still be there when we arrive... time will tell!

Have fun!

Hi Guys,

Well not long now and I don't know about anyone else but I'm excited.com. Hope anyone waiting for their passports etc isn't affected by the postal strike.Can't wait to get some warm weather and see lots of animals - hopefully. Going to pack my bags at the weekend and fingers crossed they're not overweight!! Well, looking forward to meeting everyone in the Exec Lounge, will look out for the Just You luggage labels. Bye for now, Jan

Got a call tonight to say they'll take my passport to the airport so I can pick it up there rather than risk the post. That's one less thing to worry about, so now I will just have to make sure I get away from work in time to get to Heathrow, and hope for no delays on the tube.
