I have to do this trip on Thursday morning after 9am.

I think Central line to Holborn, then Piccadilly out to Heathrow looks
quickest and easiest.

Is that the best route, d'you think?




Yes, definitely. You may get there marginally (and only marginally) quicker
if you go to Paddington (Circle/H&C) and then the Heathrow Express, and for
some flights from Heathrow you can check your baggage in at Paddington and
get your boarding card there already, which may be less hassle than the
bedlam that airports have become as of late what with all the paranoia
about liquids and one item of luggage only (the queues to check in are
doubled in time, as people in front of you can't follow simple instructions
and insist on more than one bag, or try and pack liquids into their luggage
while checking their bags in).

However, it'll cost ya. And I'm not sure you'd save more than 20 minutes or
so, when you take into account the extra kerfuffle.

I thought the check in facilities at Paddington had all gone.
BA apparently closed theirs due to lack of use. Which is true but only
because they didn't publicise it enough.
