Airportr discount for EC members
Just thinking of using Airportr for an LCY arrival and noticed that they offer the "collect from conveyor" service free for BAEC members - normal cost £10.
Is the service recommended ?
Can anyone provide me with a referral, for a £10 discount for both referrer and referee ? If you can confirm on the thread, I will PM you my e-mail (which I imagine you would need). First to reply with an offer on this thread gets the referral

I have used the service once before at LCY and yes, I would recommend them at LCY.
I pre-booked and walked my bag out to them. They are literally at the entrance as you exit just before you turn right for DLR (so convinently located). They had all the paper work ready and waiting. They just had to attach a very large blue tag with all the paperwork inside the tag. Took about one minute if that. It really does not take long for bags to appear to LCY either.
It works very well if you are sending your bags to a hotel or if there is someone waiting at home.
Although you specific a delivery time band, on the day I used them, they were keen to deliver asap irrespective.

I used them at LGW and they were pretty reliable. I'd certainly consider using them again.

Used them to drop bags at LHR for delivery to home earlier this year when I was able to short-check bags on an ex-EU from Asia (I was still taking the final leg and wanted to reduce the hassle). Planning on using them again in a few weeks when I have an 8pm flight from LHR on a Friday - much easier trip across London on busy public transport with a small bag only.

If I'm going to take Uber from LHR to London city, is there any benefit from using the Airprtr service vs. getting the Uber driver to drop me at my destination and then driving to the hotel some 3.2 km, 20 min away to drop off the luggage?
I am flying into LHR to view a theatre show that starts 4 hours after the scheduled arrival time. Factoring in passport control, shower at arrival lounge, quick lunch and time to collect my ticket, i figured I have barely 1 hour to go from LHR to the theatre. A detour to drop off luggage at my hotel before going to Theatre would take extra 20-30 min, so I am contemplating the best way to get my luggage to the hotel.
Also if anyone is willing to refer me, pls pm me
Thanks in advance!

I don't get this: I am trying to book now for a transfer from LCY to home in 10 days time I get the warning message "We're super busy so the fastest we can deliver is in 5 hours". That really doesn't work well for me, as it takes me to the last delivery slot of the evening when I will be out.
Surely they can't really be booked up 10 days ahead ? I am only booking so far ahead, because last time I tried to book the day before and got the same message and didn't want to be caught out again.
Is this the norm ? If so, it really reduces the value of the service.
