Later this month I am flying to LHR from the US and my friend is
flying in from Saudi Arabia. Our planes are about an hour apart early
morning arriving.

We come in at terminals 2 and 3.

Questions:

Will be both go thru the same customs/immigration area?

In any event where would be a good place to meet, especially where
there is a place to sit down (the hips are not working like they use
to).

Terminal 2 is no longer in use so you'll have to re-define which
terminals you are arriving at.

If it's 1 and 3 then whoever gets there first can walk from one to the
other. There is a clearly defined meeting area, or you can just wait at
the end of the exit line - you'll see all the various taxi and limo
drivers waiting there as well.

If one of you is arriving at T4 or T5 then the other can take the
Heathrow Express from one terminal to the other - it's free between
terminals (just make sure you go in the right direction)


We intend to go to Russell Sq via the Piccadilly line.

A lower cost option, but it could take a long time and get uncomfortable
if it's early morning.

blatant plug Depending on the actual time, it may be worth considering
taking a taxi when the 2 of you are together. The cost will be more than
on the Heathrow Express plus taxi to final destination but could well be
worth it to save the hassle you may get by other options, especially as
you're gong in from a long distance

If ever there are 3 ore more of you then the taxi is actually cheaper
than taking the Heathrow Express.

Also, should we be able to text anywhere in the airport - cell phone
coverage?

Thanks in advance
