The Heathrow Express Onboard Experience

Family Travel

Why travel on the Heathrow Express?

Hop on the Heathrow Express and you’ll travel direct from London Paddington to Heathrow (or the opposite direction) in just 15 minutes. There are no stops along the way, promising a smooth and efficient route to arrive at your terminal with plenty of time for your flight.

Our Heathrow Express trains leave Paddington every 15 minutes too, so you can be sure you can catch one with time to spare before check-in. If you’re travelling for business, Business First Class promises large spacious seats, tables, extra legroom, plug sockets at every seat and free Wi-Fi for that essential work before your big meeting.

And for families and big groups, it’s a stress-free experience with room for everyone on the train and loads of space for luggage. Plus, kids aged 15 and under travel for free on Heathrow Express too.
