Windsor to Heathrow: Would You, and if so, What Time?

Never done it but at the time of day 8 miles I would go for it. You just tell your hotel to order you a taxi the night before as you need to be at the airport by 7:30

I did this many years ago. The taxi time to the airport was quick. Ask the hotel folks what time to have a taxi call in the morning. If you have a reason and time to be in Windsor the evening before the flight, great. If not, the Sofitel Heathrow 5 is a nice alternative.

I did exactly this last year—enjoyed a day in Windsor before my departure day, my hotel arranged the car, easy 20 min drive, cost about 18GBP if I recall correctly.

Agree with the advice to tell the car service you want to be at Heathrow at 730a, and let them set your pick up time accordingly.

Thanks! I was second guessing myself on this plan so that’s good to hear.

We are doing this in just a few weeks and have arranged for Windsor Cars to pick us up at our b & b at 6am (our flight leaves earlier than yours). They had good reviews and it was easy to arrange. 2 of us for £16 (cash).

Thanks, I’ll check out Windsor Cars.
