Pickup from your door
From Hastings the drive of about 1 h 50 min means a pickup around 3 hours before a short-haul flight is a safe choice: about 1 hour 15 minutes is left at the airport once you arrive. For long-haul, add another hour. You are collected from your home, hotel or office, help with bags is included, and child seats cost nothing extra. 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
Flying back into Heathrow? Your driver tracks the flight and waits in the arrivals hall of your terminal with your name on a sign. The first 60 minutes after landing are free and parking is already in the price, so a long passport queue costs you nothing. Book "Return" on the form to reserve both journeys at once with a discount on the way home to Hastings.
