Blog: Heathrow airport

London’s busiest airport, Heathrow Airport, is the world’s largest international airport. It has a total of five terminals and three runways with an annual passenger capacity of 68 million people. Located about 15 miles west of London in the British county of Surrey, its location presents some challenges to airline pilots due to weather conditions and air traffic congestion.

Wherever your journey takes you, it may be internal or external flavor, make a great start at Heathrow.

For those of you going on a long trip, take your journey to the next level at Heathrow. We've got some tips for making it even better! First off make sure that wherever your travels might go there's parking safe and secure with Park With Me- we have special measures in place just for our clients and passengers!

 Secondly enjoy maps made specifically by Park With Me because they cover everything from roads and car parks to shops, stations, and departure gates right here at Heathrow Airport so get ready to explore whatever destination is calling out to you!

The safety of passengers and colleagues is our number one priority. To help everyone keep safe, only those due to travel should be in the airport so please greet arriving passengers outside the terminals. If you’re meeting someone who requires assistance then you are exempt!

Passengers traveling internationally from Monday 8 March 2021 are required to carry a new travel declaration form. Depending on the country you're arriving from, there will be varying testing and quarantine requirements for those traveling abroad- people coming back have to take pre-departure tests as well as PCR tests upon arrival in England.

      *Green List-The green list doesn't require you to self-isolate but passengers will need a pre and post-departure blood test. The amber list requires 14 days of isolation, plus two tests on the second day back in England for approved Government testing packages.

     *Amber List: Countries on the amber list require a mandatory 14-day self-isolation period in addition to booking an approved Government testing package for days two and eight of their isolation. 

      *Red List: Those traveling to countries on the red list will still be required to book a Mandatory 10-Day government Hotel Quarantine Package ahead of their return, as well as taking pre-departure tests.

Always make sure to pack your passport and visa before you travel. You'll need these documents when checking in with the airline, so don't forget! Make sure they're up-to-date too or else border control will turn you away at Heathrow airport.

If you happen to be traveling from one airport in London, Heathrow or Gatwick for example, and have a boarding pass issued for your onward journey with the same airline at another hub like Manchester Airport then it is possible that when you arrive at Heathrow's Terminal 5 or 6 (the terminals are accessed through purple signage) airside will not require passing immigration.

Do you want to get the best parking spot when you travel but don't know how? Well luckily for those of us who are a little too lazy or uncertain about what's going on in this world we live in right now there is an app/counsel available with us that will do it all for us.
