Pickup from your door
From Salisbury the drive of about 1 h 25 min means a pickup around 3 hours before a short-haul flight is a safe choice: about 1 hour 30 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
For the return to Salisbury, 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.
