World Travel Market, the leading global event for the travel industry, has partnered with Heathrow Express to offer delegates flying into Heathrow free travel to and from Heathrow and Paddington.
In order to get free travel from Heathrow to Paddington, delegates need to provide their six digit WTM badge identification number by emailing eticketing@heathrowexpress.com. For return travel from Paddington to Heathrow, delegates can visit the Heathrow Express members of staff within the Information Point on the Travel Services desk in the main Boulevard Area at World Travel Market during opening times between 3-6 November.
Operating every 15 minutes the service takes only 15 minutes and is the fastest way to connect between the airport and central London.
A study conducted in September found that the Heathrow Express train service is three times quicker and nearly four times cheaper than a black cab between Paddington station and the airport. The premium air-link train takes 15 minutes each way between Heathrow and Paddington at a cost of £34 for a return fair. The same round trip in a black cab costs £132 and takes on average one hour and 42 minutes.
WTM delegates can register for free and the offer is available from Wednesday 29 October to Wednesday 12 November. More details can also be found at http://www.wtmlondon.com/Content/Getting-There
Fraser Brown, commercial director for Heathrow Express, said: “Heathrow Express is the gateway to London and we look forward to warmly welcoming international delegates for World Travel Market. This show is the must attend industry event of the year and we are proud to partner with Reed Exhibitions to offer their visitors the opportunity to experience the fastest, most convenient way into London from the UK’s largest airport.”
World Travel Market, Senior Director, Simon Press said: “I am delighted WTM is able to offer this great service into central London from Heathrow Airport free to all its delegates.”
