| Jan 16 at 22:43 | comment | added | Flexo - Save the data dump | @Mykola I was mostly thinking in terms of signposting - from what I recall maps.app.goo.gl/WbK9oHp8yTPUdpk66 is the only sign you see on approach to the paid drop-off point at Terminal 5 for example, all the other signs leading up to the roundabout make no mention of the dual use of the long-stay parking which led me to conclude that it was designed to be missed. | |

You might justifiably wonder why heathrow.com still hosts the PDFs linked above when they were produced in 2015 and 2018, respectively, and are very much out of date. | |

| Jan 15 at 13:58 | comment | added | Stuart F | As to unattractiveness, the standard for cheap long-stay car-parks is poor signage, long walks with no good pedestrian routes (bad lighting, bad surfaces, suddenly finding a fence barring your way), long drives, surly staff, queues for cars to get in/out, and buses that are a law unto themselves and may take a long time to reach the terminal via 6 other car parks and 3 hotels. It's certainly do-able, but may well be quicker to use public transport, so allow plenty time. | |
| Jan 14 at 23:46 | comment | added | Mykola | Could you please comment on how it is designed to be as unattractive as possible? I am looking into options and consider this as well. As far as I can see now you just take a free bus to there from a terminal, and the bus runs every 15 minutes, and you have 30 minutes free time for your car - which is plenty, just wait outside somewhere for the passenger to call you when they picked the luggage, and drive to the parking after the call. Paying £7.5 for 30 mins would be a reasonable option only if you had guaranteed unboarding + immigration passing time | |
