Leaving Heathrow Airport
Staying on the theme of expensive, there are a few options to get from the airport to the city. The Heathrow Express train is the most well known. It costs $30 each way for the 15 minute ride. According to the wiki, that makes it the most expensive train in the world. At $2/minute, Amsterdam to Paris would be $480 each way. Fortunately there is a very good alternative. For half the price there is the Heathrow Connect train (www.heathrowconnect.com). It takes the exact same route, but takes 25 minutes instead of 15. 50% off for 10 minutes of my time, that’s a deal I’ll take. However, a deal I won’t take is £4 to take the Underground. A 45 minute ride with 20 stops and no room for luggage, is no bargain.
