Hotel Review: Hilton, Heathrow Terminal 5
I did a short one night return visit to the Hilton Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport. It’s important to know that this hotel is not at Terminal 5. (This is unlike the Hilton at Terminal 4 which is connected to the terminal). Instead you have to catch (and pay) for a Hotel Hoppa which takes…
Detained by Heathrow Airport!
Well who knew that they had this power? In honesty I don’t think that they do, but clearly their staff seem to think so. I recently arrived at Heathrow Terminal 5 on board a domestic flight.

Did you get your free Regus at Terminal 5 voucher over the weekend?
I wrote last week about Regus (the office rental company) opening a lounge on the arrivals side of Terminal 5. There was a free offer to get a one time pass. However, the web site misbehaved and generated an error when you tried to get your pass. Over the weekend Regus emailed out the passes…
