How to Park Cheap and Safe at Heathrow Airport (Insider Secret) 

Checked just this, they are every 30 mins which isn't the best frequency if you just miss one but think there are 1-2 other local buses too, the number 5 and 81, and as he said you can get an uber for a £10-15 if you're running late!

@trevshops They used to be every 20 minutes but the frequency has reduced to two per hour during the day. I didn't know about this reduction until @harshilpatel684 pointed it out, so thank you to both of you. I didn't mind waiting 15 to 19 minutes if I'd just missed one, but I think if it's going to be up to 29 minutes then I'm going to check the schedule and try to time my arrival in the future. The saving really can stack up (especially for me with an old Astra) over longer breaks, currently I'm away for 15 nights and my parking was £98 so if I did need to use an Uber it would still make financial sense. Thanks Phil

@@harshilpatel684 trouble with 81 is it doesn’t go into the airport, but just down the Bath Road. You have to get off and onto another London bus, but tap same card and within an hour I think it is it would be free.

I’ve used this service for Heathrow and Manchester, and it worked brilliantly

@@jamestravels24 Now Manchester is interesting, where do you park? And do you then get a taxi/uber/bus or is it walking distance?

Ooh, Parklet, I'll check them out, nice tip, thanks

That is excellent value, well worth looking in to, Thanks Phil

We are clearly of one mind on this, public transport is always interesting, although I did the airport run in Bangkok in a taxi both ways, about £15 each way. The train would have been significantly cheaper, but I just crumbled when a local driver offered me a ride for 600 Baht. Thanks for your comment, Phil

Thank you for your comment and the tip, much appreciated. Does this upset the locals at all?

@@mygreygapyear not that I know of, since there is plenty of parking near the route.

Thanks for the comment, I think if you're going directly from the airport to central London then the Elizabeth line is probably a better option.

Your very welcome, glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for your comment, I do love a good cadi

Thanks Richard, glad it was useful

Thank you for your kind comment and support, glad it was helpful.

You're very welcome, glad it was helpful

You’re welcome 😊

Thanks for your comment and support, I'd happily rock up at an unofficial long stay car park and hand my keys over, it's the perfect stranger at the airport taking my car to who knows where. We clearly think in the same way, I've parked on an Asda near the Hays and Harlington stop on the Elizabeth line and I leave a tag in my car too 😀 Thanks Phil

Thanks for your comment, using JustPark can often save even bigger sums if you're booking a bit last minute, but squeezing as much as I can out of every pound earned is just a mentality that I have. I always take pens from hotels and I'll clean out the tea and coffee every day to make sure it gets refilled, and the mini-bar if it's included in the price. And that's just the start of it 😂 Thanks Phil

I'm more surprised by the non ULEZ Astra? Is it simply just a diesel from the early 2010s that still serves you well so no reason to change it?

@@harshilpatel684 It is an old diesel Astra. I would replace it but it is probably going to the scrap yard when I don't need it, and I just can't throw away things that still work. My telly is an old Phillips 32" flat screen (720p definition) that I bought the year Leona Lewis won X-Factor 😂😂😂

Thanks for your comment and question. I think it's fair to say there are some things that Avios are good for and some things that Avios are not so good for and it sounds like you're hoping to use your Avios for long haul economy which Avios are notoriously bad for. Very often European economy offers excellent value against the cash fare, especially if you need to check a bag. Then with long haul premium cabins, like business class, you will often get a distinct discount using Avios. And a final great use for them is one way fares, traditional full service airlines, like BA, Qantas, Qatar and so on, often sell one way fares for the same price as round trips, but if you need a one way fare then using points can be a lifesaver. And finally, I'd say paying for points that cost you over 1p per point is a bad idea. I personally wouldn't pay over 1p for a point, but I can pay for them using the new Avios boost offer or you can get them via a subscription, buying 200,000 on the annual plan will deliver you 200,000 points over the year at about 1p per point. And that 1p per point value is one I use to judge value when I spend Avios too, usually against a cash fare. If I don't make a saving valuing my Avios at 1p each then I use cash. I hope this helps, all the best for your travels, I hope you get to Kuala Lumpur and have a fantastic trip, Phil

Thank you for the reply good luck with the channel. 👍

That's me! I really need to get that fixed.

Small World..👍

Thanks for your comment, I'm not sure I have the nerve to pull into a random street and get my case out the boot, leaving it there for two weeks. I mean damage isn't an issue, I'd probably make a profit if my car was written off... 😃

Sounds like good advice, but only to the people who are heavier than you, those that are lighter should disregard😀
