Pickup from your door
Your driver collects you from your home, hotel or office at the time you choose and helps with your luggage. For a short-haul flight from Heathrow, a pickup about 3 hours 30 minutes before departure is sensible on this route; add an hour for long-haul flights. Child seats are free on request.
Arriving back
For the journey home from Heathrow to Stratford, the driver tracks your flight and waits in arrivals with your name; the first 60 minutes after landing are free, and meet and greet and parking are included. Choosing “Return” on the booking form books both journeys together, with a discount on the return leg.
