Pickup from your door
Most travellers from Enfield choose a pickup about 3 hours before a short-haul flight and an hour earlier for long-haul. After the 50-minute drive to Heathrow, that gives around 2 hours 15 minutes before your flight. Your driver collects you at the door at the time you pick; child seats are free if you add them to the booking. Heathrow has four terminals: 2, 3, 4 and 5. Terminals 2 and 3 share the central area, while 4 and 5 sit on their own, so check that the terminal on your booking matches your ticket.
Arriving back
For the return to Enfield, the pickup is timed to your actual landing at Heathrow, not the schedule. Your driver waits in the arrivals hall of your terminal holding a name sign, with 60 minutes free after touchdown and parking included in the fare. Choose "Return" on the booking form to book both trips together and save on the second one.
