Gate assignments are made shortly before boarding and each letter dedicated terminal group is separated by a long walk or a crowded rail ride. The metro ride between the terminals and the city can be complicated if you go in with no research. We consider ourselves capable people but Londons rail system is a mess to get a grasp of.

Prepare for the unexpected. It’s a long flight and anything can happen. Have some snacks and drinks with you. And other emergency items you may need.

Heathrow is a large busy airport that requires a lot of walking.

People have to make sure they have plenty of time (2 hours minimum) if they need to change terminals. Heathrow is a monster airport, it's giant, so if you want to shop or eat or just look around, you need more than 2 hours between flights. Otherwise, it's great, the security was fast but thorough. I loved that I did not have to remove my shoes and the employees were patient and polite, not like at JFK. The shuttle buses are annoying, but at a huge airport like Heathrow, it's a must. The drivers of the shuttles are crazy, they don't care if people are falling down or not, they drive aggressively. However, people cannot fall down because the buses are packed to the gills. So, instead of shuttles, a looping airtrain would be a much more convenient and probably faster way of connecting the terminals, just like at JFK. The frequent flights between London and New York are much appreciated.

London makes you take out every single toiletry even below 100ml and if they don’t all fit in one tiny bag, they make you throw it away. Check everything in your checked luggage!

- Enter as much information as possible using the Delta or Virgin Atlantic app. - Confirm which is the Terminal of your departure. - Arrive three hours early at the airport.

Even if you have a long layover, be prepared to travel a long distance to your gate once it gets announced. Do not delay in heading to the gate. Be prepared for a very crowded airport experience.
