Carnets are only on sale within Zone 1, from Underground ticket offices and the larger self-service ticket machines, Pass Agents and London Transport Travel Information Centres. Carnet tickets are not valid for travel on any London Transport bus services or on the Underground outside of Zone 1. You've just arrived at Heathrow, you're tired, have loads of luggage and want to get to your hotel in the centre of London sooner rather than later. You could give up any ideas you had of tackling the Underground or sitting in traffic and try Britain's new Heathrow Express train. The train runs every day starting at 0502 and finishing at 2347.
Return tickets are valid from one month of the date of purchase.
If you're flying with British Airways, British Midlands, or American Airlines and are only carrying hand luggage you can save time by checking in for your flight before boarding the train. This fast train runs every 15 mins between Victoria station and Gatwick. The non-stop journey takes just 30 minutes. You can buy tickets on board or from the dedicated ticket office at Gatwick airport, which is open between 0700 and 1100 Monday - Friday. These links are provided for convenience.
