Well, that's a simple solution, and I like simple. The only thing though, given the 04:30 AM limit, we might not make that (our flight departs LHR at 9:40 AM. So are we better off just implementing the travel card immediately on the sat. evening we arrive and then just paying the return to heathrow a la carte?

Do you know when they open Sunday morning? We have a 9:40 AM flight to the US to catch.
