I have a little bit of a problem. I purchased r/t Advance Heathrow Express tickets March 6 for our trip June 6. At the time my hotel was close to Paddington station. Now I have changed hotels and will be very close to Kings Cross/St Pancras when I first arrive. Only the inbound ticket is a problem. Upon returning from Amsterdam in the middle of my trip, I will be at my original hotel and can use the return express tickets out of Paddington.
I am debating:
1) Take the Express into London and then transfer to the Piccadilly line on to my hotel? How do I do that? Is it more trouble than it is worth? Two adults traveling without children but it is our first trip to London and we will be jet-lagged. Too much to navigate?
OR
2) Forfeit the inbound tickets and take the Piccadilly Line directly from Heathrow to St Pancras? We are buying regular Oyster cards at the airport anyway so I keep telling myself I won't be losing much because that day's travel will be capped. But we will be tired from the flight and don't really look forward to an hour on the tube, but it won't kill us.
Advance tickets purchased after Feb 19 are non refundable but they are transferable. I paid 12.10 each/ $15.72 US, so it is not a ton of money, but I hate to lose it all. I would be willing to let them go for less than the face value, but I don't know how to go about it.
Any suggestions? Please help!
