Episode 130 – Central London to Heathrow Airport Transit

While this is a really specific logistical discussion in this episode, I know a lot of people have early flights out of London Heathrow Airport.  The tube (subway) is by far the cheapest way to get from downtown to the airport, but you need to know it could take at least an hour to get to the airport. Tube stations open somewhere around 5am.   Also, on weekends the tube has maintenance / construction at times and you need to know alternatives.  The Heathrow Express works great, but it is just more expensive.  It goes into Paddington Station, where you will probably still need to get into the tube to get to your accommodations.  Of course, you could Uber or take a taxi, but that would be your most expensive cost (~$100) and would still probably take an hour due to traffic.

If you have been thinking about getting one of these credit cards use my links: Capital One Venture X, Southwest Airlines Personal and/or Business Cards, Chase Sapphire Reserve, Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Business Ink Cards, and the IHG (Holiday Inn) Cards. If you use my links to sign up for the card I get some points, and again it doesn’t cost you anything to help out the show.  Some of these credit card links do not last long.  If the link doesn’t work please contact me and I can send one to you real time.  Remember, if you are unable to pay your credit cards off on a monthly basis then it is not worth getting these.  Thanks so much!
