Heathrow is the busiest internartional airport in the world with over 90 airlines operating from within its confines. Greater than 64 million passengers
passthrough Heathrow every year on international and domestic flights.
The journey time from the Hertford and Ware area to Heathrow in off peak times is about 60 minutes. For peak times this
can be almost doubled. If there are holdups due to an incident on any of the major trunk roads that are on route such
as the A414, A1, M25 or M4 then this can be even longer. To help eleviate traffic issues all our vehicles are fiited
with the Trafficmaster system which enables the driver to to alerted to any problems on the roads as they happen.
When being dropped off at the airport you will be set down at the designated points located outside each terminal. Although you are
permitted to unload on the airport terminal forecourts you should be aware that waiting is not permitted on the airport forecourts at any time.
