Is Heathrow Express PREMIER+ worth it for business travellers?

Heathrow Express PREMIER+ can be worth it for business travellers who value additional space, a dedicated table and Fast Track Security at Heathrow.

PREMIER+ Single tickets start from £32, and you’ll benefit from larger seats, additional legroom and a dedicated table, so you can work while you travel to the airport. You can plug into a power socket at your seat and log on to the complimentary Wi-Fi (also available in Standard Class).

Fast Track Security is included as standard when travelling towards Heathrow for a departing flight, reducing your time spent waiting at airport security. Children aged 15 and under travel free in PREMIER+ when included correctly on the accompanying adult’s ticket.

Standard Class can offer better value if you’re prioritising the lowest fare, and don’t need the additional space or Fast Track Security.

Unfortunately, accompanied guests are not permitted and each passenger must hold their own ticket. If you are travelling with children, your PREMIER+ Class ticket must clearly state the number of children you are travelling with.

PREMIER+ Fast Track security is for departing Heathrow passengers only and excludes all arrivals services. Valid Heathrow Express tickets must be presented along with your airline boarding card to a security colleague on the day of travel. Heathrow Express tickets will be validated before entry is allowed into the security lane.
Important information: All passengers flying out of Heathrow Airport are subject to the same security procedures and regulations. Heathrow recommends that passengers ensure that they have allowed enough time for the usual security and X-ray screening. As a premium experience, customers who have purchased PREMIER+ tickets will be given a priority service to ensure that waiting is kept to a minimum.
