Alternative Airports

If the destination you want isn’t served by flights from Terminal 4, then you’ll probably find the flight you need from one of Heathrow’s 3 other terminals (4 once the currently closed Terminal 2 is redeveloped). There are also a number of other airports in and around London, and depending where you’re coming from using one of these might be easier. Gatwick, south of London on the Sussex/Surrey borders handles both short and long haul flights. Luton and Stansted, both to the north of the city, handle mostly short-haul traffic. London City Airport in the Docklands area deals mostly with business oriented flights.
