Worth knowing

Daily, about 50 coaches a day from the South Terminal, the North Terminal ten minutes later. Nothing leaves between 00:05 and 03:20.

National Express advises arriving at Heathrow at least three hours before a flight, so do not plan a connection tighter than that by coach.

A Standard ticket boards a similar coach up to three hours either side of the one booked; Change & Go, £5 each way, widens that to twelve hours.
