snowman Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 On Saturday I need to get to Heathrow (T2) for a 6am flight.I was hoping to get the Paddington Express but the first train is at 5.10am which is not good enough. Any recommendation for a reliable cab company? The last two times I have booked an early morning pick-up both companies turned up late!Any other option for getting to Heathrow for such an early flight (I have no private car)?Thanks, S Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/117269-heathrow-early-flight/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dulwich61 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I've used Dulwich Cars (run by Keen Group) for airport runs around once a month for 10+ years: they've never let me down however early the departure: 020 8693 1000Dulwich61 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/117269-heathrow-early-flight/#findComment-1030643 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DulwichFox Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 You could consider an overnight stay in a nearby hotel . Travel Lodge ?? Travel on public transport. No rush in the morning.. not much dearer than a cab. and usually a bus to the airport from the hotel every few mins. Arrive on time fresh for your flight. DulwichFox.

sanity girl Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I'd stay at a nearby hotel overnight - loads of hotels available via the usual booking sites - you should be able to find a room for around ?50 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/117269-heathrow-early-flight/#findComment-1030670 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazero Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Always use Addison Lee for work trips of this nature. Not the cheapest, but still generally cheaper than a Heathrow hotel. Their size means there are always lots of extra drivers around (e.g. if your scheduled driver is held up on a previous job). They've generally been 5-10 minutes early for my pick ups.

rendelharris Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 If you want to save a few bob and don't mind a bit (not much) of extra effort, get a night bus to Victoria and National Express run coaches to Heathrow at 3AM, 4AM and 5AM for just ?10, 40 minute journey time. Don't know how full they get, might be wise to book.
