Living near T5

I live relatively close to LHR T5, ideal as I travel for work and like to use BA.

I have decided to rent out my spare room, ideally to crew who won’t be around much either

Does anyone know particular areas on the web where crew hunt for living spaces around Heathrow?

All tips appreciated.

Crikey not sure if the forum is the right place for this. There are lots of rooms for rent Apps you could use.

Yeah I’m not advertising my place on this forum, I want to know if there is a more lucrative site/app to advertise on that will reach more crew or pilots or those who work at the airport. For example, a specific Facebook page. Generic apps are not helpful.

I would like to think one of our BA staff contributors could point you to an internal link-up/forum

good point - thank you. This could probably move under the ‘ask the staffer’ thread for advice I suppose!

The term you need to look for is crashpad.

That is the industry parlance for room near an airport to use during layovers.

Thanks all, really helpful. A CC has been in touch to tell me of a Pilot and CC forum (which looks VERY similar to this one!) so will try my luck there!

pprune is operated by the same company as FT, if that’s where you’re heading 😉
