    If you book with Purple Parking, make sure that you give youselves PLENTY of time to catch the bus to the airport (especially around rush hour). We allowed about an hour and managed to miss our flight!!!!!!!

    Purple Parking is a very slick operation but I reckon the transfer could take a good hour at peak times due to heavy traffic in the area, a couple of major junctions to negotiate

    You obviously haven't seen the way they drive. I think the highway code doesn't apply to PP drivers based on what I see on the M4 :rolleyes:

    Same if you are driving yourself to Heathrow - any congestion in Central Area causes tailbacks through tunnel and onto motorway spur. On Sat although terminal 1 not too busy because of increased Police checks it took nearly 15 mins to get from end of spur to departures. Coming back on Monday similar time for the whole journey back to their Hayes/Southall car park.
