What terminal is it for flights to India? I'm assuming these people I'm taking this afternoon are flying Air India.

It will be on their tickets. Or other paperwork.

Just taken a look at the departures board for this evening and there are direct flight to India from terminals 3, 4 and 5.

Very late but Air India is T4, Virgin is T3, BA is T5 and Jet is T4.

None of the above airlines are a patch on Emirates, but sadly they don't fly to India direct.

My bestest app at the mo is http://www.flightstats.com

Track any flight at any time and any route. Got to keep my eye on her. :-$

The best place to park is in the car park but I guess you mean the place where it wont cost you money. There is a garage between the M25 and T4. It will be on your right hand side. That is where I used to wait.

Depending on when they need picking up.

If it's rush hour then best use the garage Grandad mentioned, if you can get in. The owners don't mind cabs parked there, and they have a loo and coffee bar.

If you are picking up at the weekend, or early or late in the day, and get there really early then you could try Cobham services which is about 10/15 miles south of Heathrow on the M25.

Alternatively Macdonalds on the Bath Road is just around the corner, but they only allow you an hour.

Some people seem to treat airport jobs different to other jobs and will cut their prices so far that they don't actually make any money. So charging the customer for the car park is not going to happen. I don't go down that way much these days but I used to wait in the garage until the plane had been on the ground for around 40 mins and then go into the car park. If it was terminal 1,2 or 3 I would wait at the Tesco store at J3 before going to the car park.
