Arriving in another country can sometimes be a daunting task, especially when you are travelling to one of the busiest airports in the world. Heathrow Airport is a perfect example of a place where you can easily get lost in the hustle and bustle.
From the moment you step off the plane, you are bombarded with sights and sounds that can overwhelm even the most seasoned traveller.
However, with a little preparation and some insider knowledge, navigating your way through Heathrow or one of the many other London airports can be a breeze.
Here are some tips to help you make the most of your visit to one of London’s bustling airports:
Before travelling, please check your email confirmation, you would be surprised how many travellers provide us with incorrect information, which includes incorrect landing dates, incorrect number of passengers and incorrect vehicle choice for the amount of luggage that they have.
Always check your email confirmation and ensure that all is correct for your chauffeur journey to go smoothly.
If you have a mobile phone, please switch this on upon landing, our chauffeur may contact you directly to provide you with further instructions on where to meet or may update you with any known issues.
In the event of any major delays upon landing, eg immigration delays or lost luggage please contact your collecting chauffeur in the first instance, his mobile number will be on your booking confirmation.
A simple text or Whatsapp message is all that’s needed and we can further advise.
If you cannot make contact with your chauffeur please let us know, you can call us on +442080504954 or use our website WhatsApp function and we will assist.
