Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ticket, or is a mobile ticket accepted?
A mobile ticket on your phone is accepted — no printing needed. Have your confirmation ready to scan at the gate.
My flight arrives at Terminal 4. How do I get the Heathrow Express?
Take the free inter-terminal train from Terminal 4 to Terminals 2 and 3, then follow the Heathrow Express signs to the station.
Does my First Class ticket include Fast Track on arrival as well as departure?
No. Fast Track access covers departures only (the security queue). Fast Track Arrivals is not included with any Heathrow Express ticket.
Can my children travel without me on the Heathrow Express?
Children under 16 can travel unaccompanied if they carry proof of air travel (a valid flight booking or boarding pass) and photo ID.
Is there a difference between booking now versus booking 30 days in advance?
Yes — Standard Class fares are tiered by how far in advance you book. Purchasing 30 days ahead gives the lowest available fare; 8–29 days ahead offers a mid-tier saving; booking closer to travel is priced at the standard rate.
How often do trains run, and how long is the journey?
Journey time is 15 minutes from Terminals 2 and 3, and 21 minutes from Terminal 5. Train frequency and schedules can vary, so check the official Heathrow Express website before you travel.
