I am flying in to Heathrow from US in July and on a separate Loganair ticket from Heathrow to Kirkwall the next day. Since I am not really familiar with Heathrow as I avoid it if possible, I would probably prefer to stay at an airport hotel overnight and walk over to check in the next day. Loganair to Kirkwall from Heathrow leaves usually from Terminal 2. Any suggestions on a hotel?
I have flown Loganair before from Edinburgh to Kirkwall so am familiar with their weight restrictions. I understand at Heathrow we leave from a 'bus gate". Anyone ever done that?
