Make sure you don’t get lost, and don’t be late

Also for your trip back home, it is important to have a plan. You should know the exact time and location of your transport home. Be there on time. Calculate at least 15 to 20 minutes extra travel time on the tube in case of delays. As before, have a complete travel plan ready from your hotel to your home.

It’s rare, but sometimes (especially on weekends) trains or tubes to the airports are out of service due to maintenance. Usually alternative transportation is arranged, but journey duration is longer. Of course, it is important to be aware of this in advance, so that you don’t miss your plane. We’ve experienced this kind of situation; some people we travelled with indeed missed their plane!
