Heathrow T5 parking options
Discussion
Hope some of you good people who use Heathrow can help me out.
Living up North I don’t use Heathrow although due to BA kindly cancelling our shuttle flight from Manchester to Heathrow and the earlier flight meaning a 9 hour transit at Heathrow I have decided to drive down.
Prefer to park with official car parks (expensive I know) and within walking distance and was wondering how long the transfer buses take from the long stay car parks and how frequently?
Also are the Pods any good - how do they work.
Trying to work out how long I need to allow from arrival at car park to the terminal since I will already built in a good “buggeration delay” for the journey down.
Thanks

Short stay parking can be very competitively priced & is walking distance to T5
Just go on the Heathrow website & you can quickly get a price comparison of the options
Thanks - I had looked and shorty stay was just over £100 more than long stay whilst the POD was £60.Just go on the Heathrow website & you can quickly get a price comparison of the options
Given that we are away for 18 nights and the fact that BA won’t give me a refund for the internal flights we have cancelled, an extra 100 quid seems a lot but maybe not in the scheme of things based on what the holiday is costing.
It just that I’m a tight(ish) Yorkshireman!
The pods never seem to be working - so what it should say is 'bus'.
The meet and greet is very good a T5, I'd say it's better than valet as you just cross the bridge from the car park and you're in the terminal (have to cross the road with valet). It's pretty well priced too, but more so if you're comparing with the short stay or valet options.

POD parking was the only thing that worked on our flight out on 20/7 - day the M25 was blocked and the security queue was 2.5 hours long. From landing to getting into the car 2.5 weeks later was 30 minutes or so, POD was just get in and 5 minues or so at the car.
Would definitely use it again.

whats current suggestions, dont really want to leave keys and have them move it, pod parking is about £350!!!
PT, bus or taxi... I'm taking the latter as it's only £60 each way for me and parking for two weeks hasn't been cheaper since before the pandemic. £160 is the cheapest I've seen it, at the moment I'm looking at £270.Would rather drive but not at those prices.
