Four terminals are in use (Terminal 1 closed in 2015). Your airline decides which you use — always check your boarding pass, as they’re not all within walking distance.
| Terminal | Known for | A few airlines |
|---|---|---|
| T2 | The Queen’s Terminal — modern, easy to navigate | Star Alliance carriers (e.g. United, Lufthansa, Singapore) |
| T3 | Wide lounge choice; Family Lounge | Virgin Atlantic, Emirates, American and others |
| T4 | Compact; new flagship lounge arriving | SkyTeam carriers (e.g. Air France-KLM), Qatar and others |
| T5 | British Airways’ home; The Windsor VIP entrance | British Airways, Iberia |
Airline-to-terminal allocations change — always confirm your terminal on your boarding pass or with your airline before you travel. Whichever terminal you need, a RushXO transfer drops you right at the door.
Terminals: 2, 3, 4 and 5 in use — check your boarding pass; they’re not all walkable between.
Arrive: ~2 hours before short-haul, ~3 before long-haul — more in holidays, or with assistance, kids or pets.
Into London: Tube (cheapest), Elizabeth line (through central London), Heathrow Express (fastest to Paddington), or a door-to-door taxi.
2026 change: T4 multi-storey car park closes 23 June 2026 — T4 parking moves to T4 Park & Ride Zone A.
