Your last chance to win a pair of Heathrow Express Business First return train tickets

Heathrow Express has kindly given us five pairs of Business First return tickets, worth £110 per pair, to give away this week.

We thought it would be fun to try something new. Instead of doing one competition giving away five pairs we have run five separate competitions, one each (week)day this week, giving away one pair of Business First tickets.

Further down this article you can find the Gleam widget to enter today’s competition which happens to be your last chance to win a pair of Heathrow Express Business First tickets.

About Heathrow Express

There are quite a few options when travelling from central London to Heathrow Airport. The Piccadilly line is probably the cheapest option, but takes the longest and can be very busy at times.

Heathrow Connect takes 30 minutes from Paddington to Terminal 2 and 3 and to reach Terminal 4 or 5 you need to change trains.

Heathrow Express takes just 15 minutes from Paddington to Heathrow Terminals 2 and 3, with an extra five minutes to Terminal 5, and runs every 15 minutes. There is free wifi on board and power sockets by each seat. Unlike the tube there is a lot of storage space for luggage – if you’ve ever been on the Piccadilly line with your suitcase during rush hour, this should be reason enough to consider Heathrow Express.

The other advantages of Heathrow Express are:

• Children under 15 travel for free
  
• Advance tickets are as cheap as £5.50 on a weekend (booked 90 days in advance, you can see the full list of prices here)
• Discounts for two or more people travelling
• Earn Avios points (10 Avios per £1) when booking via heathrowexpress.com/avios 
• Earn Heathrow Rewards points (1 point per £1) when booking via heathrowexpress.com
• Free upgrades to Business First for British Airways Gold Guest List members 
  

You can learn about the benefits of Business First on this page of the Heathrow Express website. These include priority carriages, ensuring a quick arrival and departure from the platform, increased privacy and leg room, and complimentary magazines and newspapers. You can stay connected with at-seat power and spacious worktables.

How to enter the competition

Heathrow Express has given us five pairs of Business First return tickets to give away. These are valid for travel until 31st December 2018.

We have been giving away one pair each (week)day this week.

The pair do not have to be used at the same time, so you can have two Business First trips yourself if you do not want to use the tickets for you and a friend / partner travelling together.

There will be a new article each day with the Gleam widget to enter. If you have already entered on a previous day, entries from previous days will NOT be carried forward. If you want a chance of winning today you need to enter again. The full T&Cs in the widget below.

You are limited to one entry per person. You MUST have a UK postal address in order to enter, as we will be posting you a paper ticket, although we won’t ask for it unless you win. There are no other geographic restrictions on entering.

If you can’t see the widget below or are reading this on your mobile, here is the link to enter. Good luck.
