You could call it.. Heathrow Connect, perhaps?

(OK not within the zones, but neither is the excess from H&H very much).

Er, yes it is - it's GBP5.20 from H&H to Heathrow.

That's not very much. About 1% of the cheapest transatlantic ticket.

So what? It's more than the Oyster Tube fares from central London (GBP
4.80 peak, 2.90 off-peak), and 10p less than the paper ticket Tube fare
from central London. It's a fair bit for 3.7 miles.

(And not everyone from Heathrow is flying transatlantically, or even
inter-continentally.)
