Arguably the busiest landing field in all of Europe, Heathrow Airport has five terminals spanning a colossal 1,227 hectares on the outskirts of London. On average, the airport sees about 1,286 flights come and go every day, with 82 airlines flying to 180 destinations in 85 countries. So you can see how easy to get lost inside the majesty of Heathrow.\u00a0 That\u2019s why from top to bottom, it’s best for passengers to learn the ins and outs of navigating through the airport ahead of their departure.<\/p>\n First order of business, especially for travelers who drive to the airport, is parking. One has to know the type of space they need. UK-based parking comparison website, Parking4Less, classifies the different categories<\/a> as short and long stay, meet and greet and valet, and business parking. There\u2019s also an alternative option called \u2018hotels with parking\u2019 that books passengers to one of the specifically selected hotels at Heathrow. Ideally, to get a good spot and save precious time, people should pre-book their parking as early as possible.<\/p>\n Once parked, then the real fun begins.\u00a0 Inside of Heathrow, the sky\u2019s the limit, particularly on the other side of security. Passengers who have Wi-Fi ready devices are given about 45 minutes of free Internet. Heathrow Rewards members, on the other hand, can go online for an hour and a half free of charge. The airport also offers a pay-as-you-go Wi-Fi after consuming the allotted free time, but not to worry.\u00a0 Spending time surfing the web doesn’t seem quite as appealing as exploring this mega-airport.<\/p>\n \n Photo courtesy of Redleafretail.com<\/span><\/p>\n Being in one of the top airports in the world sure has its perks, Heathrow boasts a fantastic range of lounge areas, topnotch restaurants, and luxury shopping boutiques. For a reasonable fee, travelers can unwind with complimentary drinks and snacks in the Servisair Executive Lounge. In terms of food, the airport offers an array of choices<\/a> from affordable yet delectable snacks to high-end cuisines.![\"Tower](\"https:\/\/magsonthemove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/image7-510x340.jpeg\")

Passengers even get to do a little shopping in premium retail stores such as Alexander McQueen, Hermes, and Tiffany & Co. to name a few.\u00a0 With a selection of shops to rival any mall, no one will ever suspect all of their gifts and souvenirs came from an airport.<\/p>\n
