By car the driver heads onto the M25 at junction 22 and anticlockwise to junction 14.
By rail Thameslink runs from St Albans to Farringdon, where the Elizabeth line goes direct to Heathrow. The 724 bus is a slower alternative.
By public transport: Thameslink to Farringdon, then the Elizabeth line, about 70–85 min. The catch is a change with luggage. A car does the whole trip door to door in about 30 min, or 50 min when the roads are full, with your bags in the boot.
Out of St Albans (AL1 to AL4) the route runs onto the M25 at junction 22 and anticlockwise to junction 14. Coming back from Heathrow the driver follows the M25 back to junction 22 and St Albans. That is about 28 miles: reckon 30 min off-peak and 50 min when the M25 between the M1 and the M4 is busy.
Your driver waits inside the arrivals hall of your terminal (T2, T3, T4 or T5) holding a name board. The terminal is set from your flight number when you book.
Your driver meets you inside arrivals at Heathrow, helps with the bags and drives you back to your door in St Albans.
Traffic builds on the M25 between the M1 and the M4 on weekday mornings and Friday afternoons. Allow the upper end of 50 minutes if you are flying at those times.
