I have a 10 a.m. flight on Saturday - surely I can make that (from Chippenham?) with an early start?   Terminal 4, need to allow 2 hours to check in.   Looks to me like I need to go up the night before, or take a taxi!

0555 to Padd arr 0721. As you don't need precisely 2 hours to check in, surely the first HEX & connection after 0721 would be ok?

Or 05:55 CPM to RDG then RailAir bus at 06:45. Tight connection though and I don't think the bus goes to T4 so you'd need time to transfer within LHR.

Can you do an online check-in? That will give you another hour to play with...

Can you delay the flight 10 years until WRaTH is built?

Bus !!!!

railair only serves central bus stn and terminal 5. There are other coaches @ Central bus stn which can take u to T4

Using this morning as a reference, I'd avoid any long distance bus or car journeys to Heathrow.

travel up the day before and get a hotel nearby, then get train/local bus or taxi as needed.

Wish I could ... working the previous evening until final checkin.  I considered playing a high value card to get cover, but it's not a "have to" go up the evening before - just an "it would be nice".  And I'm not going to risk close connections for an intercontinental journey, nor something I've got to do lots of luggage-dragging.


Tempting.  Last time I did this run was 10 years ago, so next time ... the WRaTH will be due to open the following week knowing my luck.

see if you can get a deal at the T4 Hilton.  It has a walkway to the terminal so you will not be relying on any transport in the morning. 

I've managed to get some cheap rates there in the past.  I get the impression that it sees less business than it did when T4 was BA#s hub.
