The last thing you need to worry about when you’re jetting off on holiday is figuring out the best way to get to Heathrow Airport! There are a few options to choose from for your airport travel especially when you’re flying from Heathrow. Usually, the most obvious choice would be a taxi or paying for parking, but have you ever considered coach travel? Keep reading to find out the advantages of coach travel and how Railair works to ensure a smooth and stress-free transfer to Heathrow.
The first thing you might consider when choosing how to get to Heathrow Airport is the cost. We know airport parking can cost a fortune and taxis can often charge extra for airport drop offs too. By using public transport, you can save yourself a bit of cash which is really important when you’ve already splashed out on flights and accommodation or also means you can take some extra spending money on your travels.
RailAir connects Heathrow Airport with quick, comfortable coaches to Reading, Guildford, Woking and Watford. Single journeys start at £9.50 depending on the route you choose and kids go free on the Watford to Heathrow route. So you can still journey to the airport comfortably for a fraction of the price that parking or a taxi would cost you.
On top of saving you money for your travels, travelling by coach can also save you a lot of stress too, making it the best way to get to Heathrow Airport. With simple, easy to read timetables, flexible tickets that allow you to amend your bookings, easy to find pick up locations at train stations and unbeatable drop off locations right at the terminal door, nothing compares to getting to Heathrow using RailAir. Our RA1 and RA2 coaches travel to terminals 2, 3 & 5 and our RA3 route stops at terminals 2 & 3, ensuring a swift experience from drop off to check in.
Possibly the biggest advantage of coach travel to Heathrow is that you can skip travelling through central London. Picture the scene – you’re looking forward to your holiday, all packed and ready to go. Then you realise you have to cram yourself, your luggage and your family onto the busy Piccadilly Line to Heathrow. In addition to the stress of dealing with packed tubes full of commuters, tube trains can often fall victim to disruptions or delays, with passengers in the past having missed their flights all together!
Instead of braving the business of the capital, you can simply hop on the RailAir coach and get dropped outside the Airport entrance. Even if you’re getting the train from further away, it’s worth exiting at Reading, Guildford, Woking or Watford Junction and hopping on the coach, which means you can avoid needing to change trains as our coaches will take you direct to the airport.
If you’re used to getting the tube or the train to the airport, you may not realise that coaches are just as frequent too, making it one of the best ways to get to Heathrow Airport.
RailAir coaches depart up to every 20 minutes depending on the route you need so they’re suitable for a range of flight times. They’re also extremely flexible – for example, if your flight is delayed, you can use your flex ticket on a later coach which is great for your journey home if your flight has been unexpectedly delayed.
Not only do we drop you right at the terminal door so you don’t have to struggle with your bags, but we also provide a generous luggage allowance to all customers. No matter which route you are travelling on, each passenger can bring 2 pieces of luggage with them which the driver will help store in the luggage compartment of the coach. In addition to this, passengers are also able to take a piece of hand luggage which is stored either in the overhead compartment or under your seat.
Overall, there are numerous reasons why travelling by coach is the best way to get to Heathrow Airport, so using RailAir coaches has never sounded better as your airport transfer!
