Heathrow Express Discount Fares

Posted on by

I made the mistake of buying two single Heathrow Express tickets at the station, costing £36.00 round trip! You can discount by £4 by booking online direct with Heathrow Express

UPDATE December 2011

Heathrow Express discount of 25% for bookings in December 2012 and outbound travel up to end January 2012
The normal online fare for Express Class Return is £32 but the sale fare saves £8 at a price of £24.00
To obtain the discount Heathrow Express fare you have to click on a Google advert, otherwise you will be charged the normal fare.

Simply Google “Heathrow Express Sale”

Update January 2012

The Google Advertised Sale has ended.

Ryanair Sale – Book by Midnight Monday

Posted on by

Fares from £6 each way, for travel Monday to Thursday only, anytime throughout May.

I usually ignore these Ryanair “sales” but after checking, these prices really do exist and there appears to be reasonable availability.

The only extra that you have to pay is the credit card charge £6 each way unless you apply for a prepaid mastercard card, see my article here:
