Flewe out of Heathrow the other day and it was a mediocre experience. I found the airport to be…read morequity stuffy as if they forgot to turn on the air conditioning. I love how the Picadilly line drops me off directly at Terminal 5, although it took me a couple tries to get on board a train that stops at Terminal 5! The priority security is helpful for premium cabin passengers although the rules at the airport weren't clear. For example, I was scolded for wearing my belt while it seemed that liquids up to 2L were permitted?!? The walk and tram to the B gates is misleadingly quite far, probably a 15-20 minute walk/ride. There are also limited food options once at the B gates, which are also extremely stuffy...

It has now has the added honor and distinction of being one of the cleanest, smooth, efficient, safe, nicest and happiest airports. Gone are the experiences of the 90's and that era of long lines in security and check in, long waits at baggage claim, tedious terminal transfer and traffic jams coming in and exiting. 1/29/26 - bright and happy staff at 5:50 am, immaculate and bright airport, team member standing outside the First Class Lounge welcoming and directing all, (great lounge btw with ample and spread out seating on very comfy sofas, great hot food, quality beverages and spotless bathrooms and showers); there is an ease in the air and happy folks around everywhere- the hospitality staff, the Boots, souvenir, Macallum, Rolex boutique members. There was a smooth flow despite the airport having a lot of delayed and cancelled flights coming in post storm in the US. The airport is easy to get around and there are info booths and the best part - there is an employee to assist literally every 100 feet. I also got to mail out some cards via a bright red Royal Mail box smack in the middle of Terminal 5. 5 Stars!

Wear your earbuds and listen to some tunes on the way. Also plenty of shopping along with shops to pick up some food items and cafes along the way. Bathrooms of course.

We took a direct Norse flight from Los Angeles Airport (LAX) into London Gatwick Airport (LGW)…read more They are a secondary hub for British Airways and one of the largest operating bases for budget flights. My experience with this airline is only as an arrival, as I travelled through other parts of Europe by train and by air. The arrival was quite smooth as far as international travel is concerned. We were able to get through customs quickly. However sadly no stamp on the passport for the international travel. Restrooms had abundant stalls but there were really busy. The handwashing stations were individually in each stall. I had a decent experience in the women's stalls where I was comfortable enough to brush my teeth and wash my face. However my boyfriend mentioned that the men's side was really gross, not clean enough to clean up and reset after the long flight. My favorite thing about this airport is that it is connected to a train system that will take you into central London or whichever surrounding area you need to get to. Navigating was pretty simple. A quick and convenient arrival. I would consider flying back into this airport in the future.

LCY is easy to navigate and very manageable. It's also easy to get there via the Docklands Light Rail. There are not a lot of amenities at the airport, but there are enough to help pass the time with a coffee or allow you to buy a souvenir I like to use LCY when I am flying to or from the northern continent. Rotterdam has been the destination both times I have used this airport. It's an easy option, mostly used by business travelers and one that continues to be attractive to me when my logistics allow.

First time flying in/out of Stansted…read more I was pleasantly surprised. We took the train since we were departing and did not want to chance being late. (When we arrived we saved money and rode on the Flibbus which took about 1.5 hours to get to London but we were on an early flight so we did not feel like we wasted any time.) Once we got off the train we just followed the crowds to the entrance. Again, I am glad that we had time. We did not have any bags to check so we went straight through to security. The line was long but the staff were outstanding and directed people to the proper lanes which made it go quickly. Once through security there are more than enough shops, restaurants, seats and restrooms. Duty Free was great since I wanted Cartwright & Butler cookies. I was also able to grab some Fortnum & Mason treats, Whittard teas. TIP-if you shopped to much in London just buy a 10p bag at Duty Free. All airlines allow one bag from the airport and these do not count as your carry on. It does not have to be the DF bag and I did notice that the WHSmith and JD Sport bags looked to have held more. There are several water refill stations. The restrooms are clean, secure. All throughout the airport are benches and seats. It was very crowded but was able to find seats. If you are arriving there is also a small Duty Free you can grab some treats (like the ones mentioned above) before leaving the airport. There are a lot of other really nice shops to shop at for clothes, food, shoes. The only thing we did not find was somewhere to buy cheese.

Arriving here was simple and going to the custom agent was fine. Baggage claim was simple and going to the parking structure was easy. The issue I had was when I came to leave London. My flight was a morning flight at 6am so I arrived early at 3am to check in my bag with Lufthansa airline. But they don't open the baggage check in until 5am. So I had to line up because everyone was waiting and the line started extending. Once the bags were checked in, we now had to wait for TSA to open and that had a line. Then I had to take the long walk to get to my departing gate. The waiting area at the departing gate did not have a power outlet to charge your phone.

I tried calling the company responsible way too many times to count since the day after my luggage was promised to be delivered to me had passed, but no one ever picked up, and I was unable to leave a voicemail. I managed to find baggage enquiries at this terminal, but instead of being able to talk to someone, it was just a call box. I managed to speak to an employee who graciously took the time to escort me to an unauthorized office of the airport, so I can speak with the right person that could help me. This individual went above and beyond to try to locate my luggage. He was unable to due to no fault of his own (apparently the luggage system crashed at the airport the connecting airport in Belgrade). He took down my info along with my file reference number so he can pass this along, so my luggage could hopefully be shipped to me. He even gave me advice on what to do if it is not returned to me after a certain period of time. I wish I remembered the names of these two employees that went out of their way to help me. They made an anxious experience into a brighter one with their help. I'd also like to add that this was my sixth time flying into or out of Heathrow airport, and I always had a nice experience, thankfully.

The Seychelles, in my opinion, is a close to a perfect tropical paradise as you can imagine, but I'll keep looking. My first leg of this journey was flying from Heathrow Airport to Doha aboard Qatar Airways, which is always a real pleasure.  A short two hour layover there, then off into the wild blue to Mahe Island, Seychelles.   We are staying at the Anantara Maia resort, an ocean front masterpiece of nature, beauty and tropical architecture. Being met by their transport vehicle complete with a cool minty fresh washcloth and cool tropical drink did add to my accolades for them,  even before setting eyes on their beautiful locale.  For those dreaming of locations such as fiji, while they are still on my list, shouldn't sleep on the Seychelles, one of the finest on the Indian Ocean. Succulent local fruits and veggies await thy palates (since going plant based, I can only attest to their veggies, fruits and they fed my sweet tooth well with intricate local pastries .  I had the privilege of 8 nights there, which still wasn't enough.
