A Simplified Guide to Navigate Heathrow Airport Faster

As one the busiest airports in Europe, travelling through Heathrow Airport sure requires some planning for a smooth experience! While you plan your London itinerary, here are some ways, you can get through Heathrow Airport faster and make the most of your time in the city:

Air Passenger Travel Guide

Reserve your stay at the boutique Park Grand London Hounslow with chic rooms, premium amenities, and fantastic links to the airport. Plan your journey before you get to the airport to reduce stress levels and allow time for a seamless journey. Start this by going through the Government’s air passenger travel guide that sets out the rights and responsibilities of all people travelling to London. Laid out clearly in stages, the guide includes booking, and travelling to and through the airport, everything about your flight to the UK and returning. With the help of this travel guide, save time as you know what to expect from the airport, tour operator, and travel agent, and what happens if things don’t go as planned.

Get Through the Security Queues Faster

Travelling through security is one of the most stressful parts of an airport journey and gets busy at various times. You can do your part in reducing this by booking an opulent stay at one of the exquisite hotels in Hounslow and be prepared for Heathrow airport security before you make it to the trays. Follow these tips to ensure a quicker security flow:

• Place all the liquids in a small transparent carry bag (make sure all these liquids are under 100 ml)
• Remove all the larger electronic items from carry-ons such as tablets, game consoles and laptops)
• Be prepared to take off additional items or accessories such as belts and shoes.
