Christian NelsonJanuary 29, 2018One of that more “Cozy” terminals at Heathrow. Nice places to grab a bite to eat and plenty of seats to sit and sleep on if you have a long layover.

Steve GarrattJanuary 10, 2013Book long stay carpark in advance - crazy money when you arrive. If in t3 head to Strada - it's off the main strip and has the best beers and food in the terminal.Upvoted Feb 22
Surprising but true. I just price compared the perfume & aftershave I bought in Dubai Duty Free to the LHR Duty Free, and LHR won. Much cheaperUpvoted Mar 17
kartik sDecember 27, 2018100ml rule: if you want to carry on any liquids (like medications) and the security guys stop you.. then go to the Boots pharmacy, purchase smaller bottles and transfer the meds and be on your way!
Robert HendersonSeptember 3, 2018Short stay parking at Heathrow is expensive, so try to plan your pick ups or drop offs with precision timing. And use essential services outside the Heathrow perimeter if watching your pennies.
Not a bad terminal. Make sure you go through duty free as they seem to have the best booze in all terminals. Loads of lounge to choose from if you have status.
Mark LeeSeptember 12, 2019Arrivals landslide has a slightly chaotic feel. If travelling light, use steps (beside the ramp) to more quickly reach passageway to metro/tube/central bus station, situated between terminals 3 and 2.
Priscilla PetitJune 14, 2019Easy to find and straightforward architecture so you can't lose your way. I just find a pity that once again elite is clearly separated from us peasants in the shopping/food area...😶
KatherynJanuary 24, 2020If you’re at gates 1-5, there’s only a Cafe Nero so make sure to get some food and snacks in the main area.
Heathrow AirportDecember 16, 2013#HeathrowElf is keen to put a #Christmas smile on the face of 4 passengers in T3 this morning (16/12/13)! WHSmith books up for grabs near their store. Follow @heathrowairport on twitter to take part!
Doc ParsonsJanuary 26, 2013The shops & services once through security can't seem to cope with the influx of passengers at busy times. Best to shop & eat beforehand if possible.
Hessa Al KhalifaSeptember 25, 2013If you are somewhere near emirates airline lounge in Heathrow terminal 3 make sure to look for the Ben & Jerry vending machine yuumy idea haha
Richard JhangFebruary 1, 2015If you are hungry, make sure to get some before leaving the duty free shops and restaurants area. Once you pass that, there isn't any other place to get food..
You can access T3 business parking via the same road as T5 of parking. This will save enormous amounts of time by avoiding the m25,m4 and t1-3 entrance road
Always make extra time@if you’re arriving by underground. The walk from@the station to the actual terminal takes at least 10 mins
The virgin clubhouse rocks...sofas @ end most comfortable, a few extra laptops setup here for emergencies. TV lounge & armchairs at the back. Wifi login on first page of menu! :)
Tore NjåJuly 3, 2014Make sure to use ePassport through security upon arrival if you have a compliant passport. It is quicker. Remove glasses when taking picture
The duty-free section is obnoxiously long but, once you leave it, you won't be able to buy any other food / drink.
Nora ChangJune 21, 2017For exec plat and above status look for the American flagship check in on the far right. Much faster. Ask them to perform the security check.
Foreign Office travel adviceJuly 9, 2012We hope you have a safe trip, but if you need to contact a British Embassy you'll find the full list on the FCO website
If you're going into London and need to change to the District Line, it's much easier at Turnham Green or Hammersmith than Earls Court or South Ken - just across the platform.
Damola AbiolaMay 26, 2013Get a buzz going at Oriel if you have time to spare. T3 was a magical place after two classic champagne cocktails :)
The checkin line at Singapore Airlines can be slow going. The Internet line is generally much slower than the regular line. The staff on the Internet line are clearly stressed and overworked.
Always busy shops are pretty good some great brands albeit choice on product is limited
Michael AnthonyOctober 23, 2016The dumbest way to setup an airport of all time. Your gate isn't announced until 30 minutes before boarding, so every single person sits in a main waiting area surrounded by a mall. Oh and no plugs.
Nick ColmanDecember 14, 2012Sure it's busy, sure the queue for Starbucks was massive and sure the WiFi is useless. None of this matters though because you're going on holiday! Cheer up you miserable bunch!
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍August 18, 2015Heathrow is huge and that makes it amazing. Shopping at Terminal 3 is fantastic, lots of designer boutiques & a smooth experience. I only wish there was a Marks & Spencer or Gordon Ramsey food outlet
Jane WSeptember 29, 2014Heads up on this Monday morning arrival: the regular customs line is 30-40 minutes faster than the Fast Track lane.
Andrew PalmerOctober 21, 2013Don't bother getting to the gate early, there's bugger all at the gates. WH Smiths often have a deal with a free water if you buy a specific paper.
Walk towards Pret and you find another seating area which is a lot less crowded!
Get here easily with the Piccadilly line if you don't mind the tube
Michael BruckJanuary 28, 2014If you're trying to get a VAT refund, make sure you have every single item with you or the customs will deny the refund on the total amount (and be rude about it too).
Graham PattersonJuly 26, 2011While the main seating area us being replaced by retail units head down towards gate 31 for plenty of seating and plenty of room to spread.
Miko CoffeyJuly 5, 2011If you're traveling to parts of London outside central, taking the tube instead of Heathrow Express can be just as quick & 1tenth the price.
Michael ScottFebruary 2, 2011Great terminal - Lots of great eateries and shops as well as great duty free! Much better than the lousy Terminal 1
Geoff AlexanderJune 3, 2014Travel Tip: Virgin Atlantic is in Zone 1 - if you have to pay for extra luggage you (may!) not have to pay to change seats...very helpful :)
Sophie CollardJune 3, 2013When getting a coach it helps if what you have packed either wheels or fits nicely on wheels.- Petteri SpåraOctober 25, 2013Get a nice filter coffee from Pret rather than queue half an hour for the Starbucks napalm.
Andrew WongJuly 24, 2017For the last taste of British beer before leaving the island, head to Three Bells on the Departure floor.
Comfortable walking shoes may be required for the long walks to the gates.
Andrew MarksDecember 24, 2014Pret is your best bet for food if you want to afford to eat for the next week after your flight.
When you go up the stairs to security don't go for the first security gate turn right and walk down to second gate always less busy
Ted TJuly 1, 2013According to recent estimates* 1 in 3 men wash their hands after using the loo here. [*estimate made by me while washing teeth]
Yannovich TMay 6, 2013Bunch of good restaurants and bars. The best Terminal to be in if you got some time on your hands!
