she needs accomodation at Heathrow from sunday-Friday for the 6 weeks . Best price I have found which is at Travelodge Heathrow Central , averages out at £26.50 per night + £5 parking per night . total £31.50 night

    Hi,

    You could save on the parking. You will be able to park very close to Travel Lodge Heathrow Central as its situated in a residential area without parking restrictions.

    I know what I would do if I was one of those residents!
    Gone ... or have I?
  • We were told that there is a maximum stay of 4 days in the car park at the Heathrow Central Travelodge, but this may have changed since. Worth giving them a ring. Nice enough hotel and there were a few cabin crew staying there while doing a short course. Not sure I'd want to leave my car in the surrounding streets, though.
    From Starrystarrynight to Starrystarrynight1 and now I'm back...don't have a clue how!

    Do BA not have a staff car park at heathrow,ask if she can park there, then she could get a taxi to the TL?

    Contact the Hotels direct. Most will negotiate a rate for a 6 week stay

    Id have thought the HR department should be able to provide her with some details of local places to stay.

    she will be leaving the car park every morning , driving to BA training base and then returning in the evening . so its leaving every day , so the 4 day rule doesnt come into force

    thanks for all your ideas . she has decided to book the travelodge . I think it came down to her own privacy and not having to share a bathroom

    most house share options were £20/£25 per night and at least 15/25 min drive away . the travel lodge is 3 min drive away . ok its £6/£11 more per night but i think she will feel more comfortable than being in someone elses house and having to share facilities

    forgot to say before that she is only staying 5 nights a week , check in sunday night check out friday morning

    thanks again
