HEATHROW HOPPA TERMINAL 5
HEATHROW HOPPA TERMINAL 5
Saturday, August 8, 2009
HEATHROW HOPPA BUS
Unlike most international airports Heathrow's hotels are not allowed to offer free complimentary shuttles.
in most airport hotels in the world that offer complimentary bus service, heathrow hotel airports are not allowed to do so - enter the heathrow hoppa bus
an alternative offer is the fixed route "Hotel Hoppa " buses operate to several hotels on each route from Terminals 1,2 and 3.
Separate routes go to Terminal 5.
For Terminal 4 you can catch the Heathrow Connect train (free, running every 15 minutes) between Terminal 4 and Central (Terminals 1,2 and 3).
It is also possible to use alternative free local buses to many hotels - of course this somehow isn't brought to the attention of most travellers.
You can purchase tickets from machines at the bus stop outside each terminal.
You can also purchase tickets from the driver, but the driver only takes UK cash.
The machines take debit and credit cards.
Once at the hotel you can also purchase tickets at reception.
Early morning when a lot of people check out for early flights the buses can be extremely crowded.
Most routes have frequencies around every 10-15 minutes. Outlying hotels routes like the H5, H8 and H9 run slightly less frequent.
The layout of the buses is such that a significant proportion of space is given over to luggage storage space.
