About Heathrow Airport
Heathrow is London's largest airport, to the west of the capital. It currently operates four passenger terminals – Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5. Terminals 2 and 3 sit together in the central area, while Terminals 4 and 5 are separate, so knowing your terminal really matters when planning where to meet.
Heathrow handles a large share of the UK's long-haul flights, including many routes from Asia. If you're flying in from Hong Kong, mainland China or Taiwan, there's a good chance you'll arrive here after a long overnight flight – exactly when a private vehicle waiting for you makes the biggest difference.
How our Heathrow transfer works
You tell us your flight number, terminal, scheduled time and where you're travelling to or from. We check the details, plan a realistic pickup time and send you a quotation. Once you accept and we confirm, your booking details and meeting instructions are shared with you.
For journeys between Heathrow and Nottingham or the wider East Midlands, the route normally uses the M1 and M25. These are busy motorways, so we plan pickup times with a sensible buffer rather than promising a fixed journey time.
Pickup process – arriving at Heathrow
- 1
Share your flight details
Give us your flight number and scheduled arrival time when you enquire. Your pickup time is planned around it.
- 2
Land and clear the airport
After landing you'll go through immigration, collect your bags and pass through customs. After a long-haul flight this can take a while.
- 3
Contact your driver
Your driver waits for you at a designated meeting point in the arrivals hall or in the car park. We send you the exact meeting point before you arrive.
- 4
Walk to the vehicle
Your driver guides you to the vehicle, and your luggage is loaded before you set off.
No waiting fees for airport pickups – your driver will patiently help you.
Drop-off process – departing from Heathrow
For departures we work backwards from your flight: your airline's recommended check-in time, the drive to Heathrow and a buffer for traffic. You'll be dropped at the departures area for your terminal.
Heathrow applies a charge to vehicles dropping off at terminal forecourts. On our fixed-price Nottingham to/from Heathrow route, car park and drop-off charges are included in the price. Airport parking and drop-off charges included.
Passenger information
- Tell us the total number of passengers, including children and infants.
- Please include children in the passenger count. Please note TSAY does not provide child seats.
- Let us know about mobility needs, such as a folding wheelchair or help with luggage.
- For groups too large for one vehicle, we'll advise on options in your quotation.
Luggage guidance for Heathrow journeys
Long-haul travellers often carry more luggage than they expect – especially students moving to the UK and families on extended visits. Please count every suitcase and bag, and declare anything oversized, such as golf bags, bicycle boxes or large pushchairs.
The vehicles page shows provisional luggage guidance for different group sizes. Actual capacity always depends on the size of the bags and safe loading.
Flight information we ask for
- Flight number (for example BA27 or CX255)
- Scheduled arrival time (for pickups) or departure time (for drop-offs), in UK time
- Terminal, if you know it – you can confirm later
- For pickups: TSAY arranges the meet time from your flight (subject to TSAY confirmation); for drop-offs: enter a suggested pickup time
Your flight's scheduled arrival is when the aircraft is due to land (UK time). For airport pickups you only need this time; TSAY arranges when to meet your driver from it, subject to TSAY confirmation. For drop-offs we still ask for a suggested pickup time.
