Hi, so happy to be posting here because it means we have a trip in the works!
Heading to London for a short trip. Four nights. Arriving early Thursday a.m., March 23rd at Heathrow. Returning to Chicago Monday, March 27. Taking Heathrow Connect to Paddington, then on to South Kensington on tube.
Our last trip was seven days and we purchased National Rail Travelcard 7 day passes in order to take advantage of the Day's Out 2 for 1 offers. When we got home I totaled it up and we saved a lot of money using 2 for 1 vouchers.
However, this trip is shorter. But we plan to see many of the same sights where 2 for 1 vouchers are honored.
Q: Should we purchase the 7 day pass when the Heathrow Connect stops at Paddington, currently $41.00 USD or would Oyster, other options, be better? We would start using the travelcard on Thursday (Th,F,S,Su and Monday back to Heathrow). I am leaning toward the 7 day card, it's so easy and $41 pp is not a terrible price imo.
Thanks!
