New Qantas Lounge Heathrow Terminal 3

Thanks - do they help with luggage or do you have to manage it yourself- I really want a nice person to put all my luggage in the boot and deposit me next to the terminal and grab a trolley

Expect to pay for porter service at LHR. I recently went SYD-LHR in F with QF, and whilst QF at SYD provides an excellent free porter service for F pax from the kerb when required, there is no QF porter service at LHR. The only option available if you require porter service at LHR is to pay for it. Their costs start at £20, and more for many bags.

The shuttle has a luggage rack inside the door. I caught it at the Holiday Inn, which took a fair while to get to T3 from. I don't remember the driver helping me at all. But they might if you look really overloaded.

Do you have a J or F ticket with chauffeur service? That would be more personalised.

I am flying J but I understand you can't get shuttle or car from Heathrow airports- anybody any ideas

i would be fine if I can get dropped off at the terminal and can grab a trolley

£20? Seriously? The drop off point is not far at all from check in. We only paid £35 for 'taxi' from Central London.

At T3, the drop off is some 50-100 metres from the QF checkin (left hand entrance) and the taxi/bus/car drops you off at the curb next to the terminal then you or driver gets a trolley. Should be no issues. Rain is a pain thought.

Wow. Twenty quid is huge. I wasn't aware easyJet had an operation at Heathrow!

Thanks everyone - I don't need a porter if I have a trolley - I don't have THAT much luggage.

I will just book a hotel and get the CD

Now which hotel to choose

Isn't there a 'hotel hopper' or something that costs GBP5.

Note that all public transport around a defined airport precinct is free.

It is, but depending on the time of day, it operates on a one hour loop, which can mean a wait - depending on which hotel you are staying at.

Depending on where you have to go to after landing at Heathrow, there are a number of nice villages within a 30-40 minute drive from Heathrow. The airport hotels are exactly that. As Douglas Adams said, "In no language on the planet is there the phrase - as pretty as an airport...". I think that applies to airport hotels.

I usually grab a hire car and head off to the Fat Fox Inn at Watlington, to recover from the flight. There are a heap of other villages in an 30-40 minute arc around Heathrow where you can go to, drop off the car, shower and go for a brisk walk, before heading back to the pub for the anti-jet lag qualities of a good ale.

And book dinner at Fat Duck in Bray!

I'm coming home not arriving - would love to go to the Fat Duck but can't convince anyone to come with me and although I eat out alone all the time I think that experience needs to be shar

Thanks but I'm actually going back to Australia after six months and don't want to worry about returning hire cars when I have to be at the airport before 9
