Historija

Historija Heathrowa počela je 1930. kad je avio - inženjer i graditelj aviona Richard Fairey, kupio teren u tadašnjem selu Heath Row i otvorio mali aerodrom za svoje potrebe.

Za Drugog svjetskog rata Britanska vlada Britanska vlada eksproprirala je Faireyev aerodrom uz velike količine zemlje uokolo za izgradnju RAF-ovog aerodroma Heston - 1944. Kad je završio rat RAF je 1. januara 1946. predao aerodrom Ministarstvu civilnog transporta da ga koristi kao civilni.

Već prve godine preko Heathrowa je letjelo 63,000 putnika, a 1951. 796,000, tad je odlučeno da se angažira arhitekt Frederick Gibberd na proširenju aerodroma, koji je odtad gotovo svake dekade udvostručio svoju površinu.

Always enjoying coming to London. Great airport and the people have always been friendly. Lounges are amazing...I recommend “Aspire - Lounge and Spa (Term 5)”. AMAZING food, open bar, and showers.

Use the underground walkway to stretch your legs after a long flight. The walkway between A, B and C is calm and nice and you can make quick progress if you use the horizontal escalators(?).

Great selection of shops and snacks. Check in is well organized and layout is convenient. I never mind arriving early for my flight.

Returning US travelers, security is between Areas D and E, and is super fast with a Fast Track ticket. Even with per screened ticket, though, you still need to remove laptop, iPad, liquids, shoes.

Terminal 2, has plenty of seating available, though not much privacy and the lights tend to stay brightly lit.

Every day at Heathrow 1,400 flights take off and land – one every 45 seconds and nearly half a million per year. You should use underground (Piccadilly Line) from here to city center.
