why buy Heathrow express when you can just ride the same train with a couple more stops (tfl rail, aka Elizabeth line) for about the price of your daily limit on an oyster card?
and friends don't let friends take the Narita express... They send them to the skyliner... It's much faster for connections within the yamanote line for significantly less cost. And has much faster queues (so you don't miss a train while in line) and 20 minutes between train instead of 30.

I usually just take an Uber or Lyft to Hoboken and get the path train from there. Not much more expensive than NJ Transit and my final destination is usually the west village.
Pro-tip: if you have star alliance gold, you can pay for a coach seat on the Heathrow Express and sit in a first class seat. Just show your card through the app. Pretty cool.

No, Princeton.
That's a great pro-tip!
