Is there any point going 1st on Heathrow Express?

Executive car, with a matching driver for me.

Guess I'm actually a princess

IIRC it's the most expensive form of public transport per mile in the WORLD !

Possibly because it's connecting one of the biggest, busiest cities in the world with one of the biggest, busiest airports in the world.

You can take the tube so it's a luxury, therefore no need to make it cheap. It's like the M6-toll of trains.

I would just hire a taxi...

Wouldn't that take longer AND cost much more?

It wouldn't cost more than the Heathrow Express if there are 3-4 of you.

It may take slightly longer but how long depends on when you are travelling.

In addition unlike the Heathrow Express you wouldn't feel like you have been ripped off.

I don't feel ripped off - if I did I'd take the tube.

Fair point if there are 4 of you. But my only experience of getting an airport taxi in London it took ages. To be fair that was on marathon day but driving in central London just seems daft.
