LHR · Greater London

London Heathrow

The UK's primary long-haul hub, with the widest choice of direct flights to India, Pakistan, the Gulf and beyond on full-service carriers.

Why London is the right airport for this route

Heathrow is the only UK airport with direct, daily, multi-carrier competition on the India and Pakistan corridors, which matters for price, because genuine airline competition, rather than a single operator with a route monopoly, is what keeps fares honest. It's also the principal UK gateway for Umrah travel to Jeddah and Madinah.

Before you fly from London

Terminal assignment varies by airline, so always confirm

British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and Air India each operate from different terminals at Heathrow. A terminal mix-up here costs considerably more time than at a smaller regional airport, given Heathrow's scale.

Allow extra time for Terminal 4, where most Gulf and Indian carriers operate

Terminal 4 has historically had longer security queues during peak summer and Diwali-season travel than Heathrow's other terminals.

Heathrow Express and the Elizabeth line both connect from central London in under 20 minutes

For travellers without a car, this consistently beats taxi cost and traffic-dependent journey times, especially during rush hour.
