London 2012 Olympics Welcome at Heathrow

With the London 2012 Olympics fast approaching, most of the major airports are getting ready for a huge influx of passengers and flights. So much so that Heathrow have now installed a large sculpture of the Olympic rings just above the international arrivals board at Terminal 5 of London Heathrow Airport.

With many of the competitors and followers of the Olympics arriving by plane, this will be a welcome sight and a sure fire way of informing them that they are definitely in the right place! Although queueing for customs and immigration at the airport is a long and dreary process, which is expected to be slightly worse for the duration of the Olympics, everybody involved, including the Prime Minister David Cameron, has vowed that everything will be done to avoid disruption during the games.

Personally we believe that if you want to try and avoid all of the disruption then maybe arrive a couple of days earlier before the Olympics start. If this is not an option or if you are coming in for a later event then try and avoid the busiest flights. Also if you require a car hire at Heathrow airport, we advise that you book as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
