Hi

Just wanted to ask if most of you use the Arrivals lounge at Heathrow or do you tend to go straight home? Is it breakfast and shower facilities from what I understand?

Thanks

Yes breakfast and showers plus some spa treatments.

I used it once but tbh I just wanted to get home.

Depends what your onward journey is though.

Thanks Tonybear - I guess most people would be in a rush to get home.

I almost always use revivals if I land when it is open.

A shower, breakfast and a leisurely read of the paper before grabbing a car home is just what is needed after a night flight.

We used Revivals for the first time a couple of months ago and really liked it. The breakfast was good, and the ability to freshen up after a night flight was much appreciated! I didn't try any spa treatments, though.

As above, but we like to use it, as we normally have 2-3 hour drive back to the Midlands after transatlantic flight.
A good shower, followed by small but tasty breakfast and a couple of cups of coffee work wonders for keeping me awake on the drive home.

A shower and breakfast are just great when you have come off an overnight flight. I have an onward flight so it's great to have somewhere to relax before moving over to T2.

Living only 30 minutes from LHR I just want to get home so have never used Arrivals

Got ya beat with 15/20 mins on a good day depending on traffic

I normally do but last week I just wanted to get home so didn't bother

For us, it's an essential part of our of leisure trips. Time to decompress a bit and have some hot toast.

Yep, after a long overnight flight, on which I don't really sleep, and I've probably been in the same clothes for 24 hours, a long hot shower, change of clothes and a quick bite are welcome before heading off to KGX and back up to the Midlands. I build in time for it when planning my return train.

I live about 15 mins away from LHR, we use Revivals for a quick breakfast (though the coffee is rubbish!), as long as I am feeling up to it, sometimes you just want to head home and back to bed.

I used to live just over 30 minutes away but now that the M25 is a car park most of the time and the M3 is a construction site I'm about an hour 30 mins, but still like to get straight home.

Last time we were in Arrivals it was hotter than the 7th circle of hell and the wait for a shower was over an hour.

We ate the breakfast and left feeling underwhelmed.

Only ever used it once, very enjoyable but prefer to get home asap after landing

Just a shame it closes at 1.30!
