The Heathrow Bears are back!

For those who love the Heathrow Bears, they’ve returned in the latest advert for Heathrow Airport. Let’s go straight to the video.

There are a few points that Heathrow Airport are going through in the video, including:

Parking

The bears are travelling using the Pod Parking at Terminal 5. Heathrow Airport would like to remind you to pre-book your parking before you travel for the best rates (and ideally with them). However, there are other options to get you to Heathrow, including the Heathrow Express, Elizabeth Line, London Underground, National Express, FlixBus, and Airlink.

Self-Service Baggage Drop

Some airlines allow self-baggage drop, although this is not always the case (with the majority allowing online check-in before travel). Just be careful, luggage tags are sticky – like the bears found out.

Use the App

Heathrow Airport’s app has become useful over the years, with it able to notify you of gates, changes and flight updates and such, something useful, considering the shopping complex that any of the terminals can be.

And if you want to shop, you can pre-order and gain Heathrow Rewards points too.

Click and Collect

Heathrow’s Click and Collect service allows you to reserve items in advance, so you don’t need to run around the airport shopping in a rush (especially if you’re running late for a flight). It can represent some value.

Though if you’re a Club Avolta member, you might want to compare before you shop, as Club members can get better pricing sometimes (with a base 5% off, even on the entry-level membership).

It must be Money, Money, Money

Whilst Heathrow has been showing off Doris and Edward, it’s always in the promotion of the airport – be it connecting, making memories or selling services.

As an advertisement should.
