Hi,
quick question I'm hoping some can assist me on?

I've an early flight out of T3 (BA) and am looking at doing an overnight the night before in the T5 Hilton.

What's the practicalities behind getting from T5 Hilton to T3 for a 7.30 European flight?

Any advice welcomed, I'm keen to stick to Hilton for a host of reasons.

thanks
Andrew

The easiest option would be a hopper bus from the Hilton straight to T3.

The T5 HIlton isn't actually linked to T5 like the Sofitel is and is only reached by hotel hopper busses or cabs.

If you have not already booked the T4 Hilton is actually on the airport but still a bit of a slog to get to T3.
Have stayed at both and can recommend either one for comfort, facilities etc. the Hopper service is good and frequent, just make sure you get on the correct one!

thanks James and Hazban,

The Hotel hoppa looks ideal, any idea of journey time from Hilton T5 to T3 at 6. a.m.?

Did consider T4 Hilton but the T5 deal with parking is a steal, plus I'm Diamond Hilton so optimistic of am upgrade plus there's the lounge to while away the hours..

thanks guys

Think that the Hopper starts about 5am and runs every 30 mins, check with the hotel. I think that they also sell tickets. Journey time at that earl hour 'not long'!
You should get an upgrade, I always do, but you might be to early to enjoy a breakfast .
Lounge is ok, reasonable snacks, drinks etc in the evening. A very nice start to your trip. Enjoy. y)

There's a lounge at the T4 Hilton too, honestly though, the T5 is way nicer IMHO. Wouldn't worry too much about journey time, about 15 mins.

The hotel itself can organise taxis to the airport, which aren't too badly priced....and probably can get details in advance if you want to do drive through check-in

Who gives a monkey's about a room upgrade particularly for one night at an airport hotel? Diamond = Lounge = Happiness. End of.

Enjoy!
