Hi Neil

Terminal 3 can get very busy so my advice would be to get there in plenty of time.

As far as lounges are concerned, would stronly suggest the No.1 Lounge which you should book to ensure you get in

flight is about 9 ish on a friday ....will it be busy then ?


Irrespective of it being am or pm it is always busy in Terminal 3 at Heathrow :-D If your flight is in the morning, do give yourself plenty of time as the whole place swells for the morning rush and a combination of pick ups and drop offs with there being only one road into the Airport does mean it gets very congested in the mornings.

Do you mean the Hilton T5?

Taxi/Uber without a doubt. The Hoppa bus only goes to T5, costs a lot of money and takes forever.
