Park & Fly Heathrow T5

[Tom-M]

Previously I’ve used Sofitel Heathrow T5 to do park and fly - where you arrive the night before your flight, stay at the hotel and leave your car for the week - all very convenient for early morning flights. Literally walk out of your hotel room and into the arrivals lounge.

I have attempted to book this for end of Jan this year to be informed it’s a service they’re not currently offering.

Does anyone have any other suggestions for a super convenient way to park/stay for a 5am start at T5 ?

Stay in the Sofitel and leave the car in the T5 short stay? Or use the Thistle and the Pods?

Purple Parking were based in the car park there last year. Drop your car off with them, walk through the hotel to the terminal. Pick up from the car park on your way back.

Those you're picking up must be very grateful for your commitment

Short stay or one of the meet and greet options are the most convenient for T5 (both are as good as each other in terms of distance from the terminal and I decide by price). They offer valet at T5, but I think that the options suggested are a bit better as you're not trying to unpack the car at the side of the road.

Thanks all - have booked the thistle with parking - cheaper than short stay on its own!
