Liz used to put us up when flying out of Heathrow. Her gaff was stylish but a little drafty. Corgis bloody everywhere.

I can just see the headlines now: Wealthy Contractor tries to save £5 by putting wife on free public transport. Wife not impressed.
Almost as bad as that MP who quit today because his £118,000 salary couldn't support his mortgage payments.

Surprised you didn’t just book park & fly, then let the parking company know you’re returning to a different terminal (makes no difference to them)

Car is being parked in T5 long term as that's where we come back to so a bit of pitta as I'll need to walk over to T2/3 business parking to get a lift to T2. Dropping her off with the bags at the Cessna Road entrance is simply a convenience so both of us aren't pulling bags around getting back from T5 parking
Get the free transfer from T5 parking to T5 and then take HEX / Lizzy Line from T5 to T2/3 with your cases? It's all step free.

Just out of interest, if you're both travelling/staying at the hotel but you're driving to drop off the Mrs with cases, what is then happening to the car? Surely whatever parking arrangements you've made will have a transfer to the terminal?

the local buses used to be free. go to the nearest standard bus stop and get the standard bus, that will get you to the terminals and the central bus station FOC if the policy still operates.

I presume the HGI you're staying at is not the one in T2 that you'll be driving past.
