London Heathrow Airport, terminal 4: arriving - departing

Heathrow Airport is located within the city, 24 kilometers west of central London. The airport has 5 passenger terminals and one cargo terminal.

In this article, we will talk in detail about the passenger terminal No. 4, where Aeroflot planes make several flights every day. The most common questions from tourists flying to London for the first time: where to go when getting off the plane, how to get from Heathrow Airport to central London and back, what is the metro station in Heathrow, where to see the map and photo of terminal 4 of the airport, how to find the TAX refund point FREE and other services.

For transfers (connections) and the layout of the terminals, see.

Terminal 4 halls

The location of the halls in the terminal building can be seen on the sign by the elevator.

On the second level of the building (floor 3) is located departure hall(Departures).

At the lowest level (-1) is the metro station "Heathrow Terminal 4".

Arrivals Hall

Where to go from the plane? The most common answer to this question is that you need to go along with other passengers. Another landmark to follow is the Arrivals (arrivals) and Baggage reclaim (baggage claim) signs.

Even if you only have carry-on baggage and do not need to receive baggage, your itinerary will pass through the baggage claim area.

Passport control. On the way to passport control, the flow of passengers is divided into two directions: citizens of the European Union follow the sign “Passports from European Economic Area and Switzerland only”, all the rest follow the sign “All others”.

In addition to your passport at passport control, you must present a LANDING CARD card, which you will be asked to fill out on the plane (in block letters and only in English).

If you did not fill out the card on the plane, you will have to fill it out in line at passport control. The waiting time in the queue can be half an hour, and one and a half: it depends on the number of passengers who arrived with your flight, and on the number of flights going through passport control at the same time.

employee passport control may ask you several questions regarding the purpose of your visit, time of stay, place of residence and others, depending on the situation. Therefore, prepare answers and have at hand an invitation, a return ticket, a hotel reservation or other documents confirming the answers to these questions.

Baggage claim area. If you have only carry-on luggage and do not need to receive luggage, go to the customs inspection area.

For passengers who handed over their suitcases for transportation in the luggage compartment of the aircraft, in the baggage claim area (Baggage reclaim) you need to find a conveyor onto which the suitcases are unloaded from your flight. The number and name of the flight are indicated on the information board. In order not to confuse suitcases, check the baggage tag number on the suitcase with the number on the voucher that you received when you checked in your baggage.

Customs. The passage to the customs corridors is located in the center of the baggage claim hall. If you have goods to declare, you must use the red corridor with the "Goods to declare" sign. In the absence of declared goods, you must use the green corridor with a sign "Nothing to declare". Through this corridor you will exit to the area for meeting (Meeting Point).
