Heathrow Express Opens World's Largest City Center Luggage Check-In Facility
HARRISON, N.Y., June 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Now travelers using the Heathrow Express high-speed rail service to Heathrow can get off to a flying start in central London, with the launch of full luggage check-in facilities on June 23, 1999. From this date forward more than 20 airlines will be represented at the new Paddington Station luggage check-in facility, making it the world's largest city center service of this type. Customers will be able to check in for their flights at any of 27 airline desks, including British Airways, United Airlines, Lufthansa and British Midland.
Travelers will be able to check in luggage and collect their boarding cards at Paddington Station any time during the day of their travel up to two hours prior to flight time (one hour for carry-on luggage only). With their boarding cards and seat numbers issued in central London, customers can sit back and relax on Heathrow Express, go directly to the departures lounge at the airport and shop or dine.
Luggage-less in London
Those leaving their London hotels early on departure day can check in with their airline early, enabling them to enjoy a baggage-free final day in London, until the time when they are ready to head to Heathrow on Heathrow Express.
Check-in facilities are open from 5AM to 9PM daily (opening times may vary by airline).
