lol ta jo
did notice however theres a second hotel run by holiday inn just by the train station....
no idea which one were booked into.....

[giraffe]

Are you all booked into the same one?

[clvrlad]

well they booked them they booked an extra bed for london for me to come join them lol so think i might owe them a drink or three
as the "local" i think there expecting me to know my way round.....

Are you committed to that hotel? Could you cancel that and get something near the airport?
If they land at 10pm (if they're on time!) it will be about 11.30 before they're through customs and immigration and travel starts getting more difficult at that time. There are trains which don't cost that much, but you'd have to change.
Do you know which terminal they're arriving at?

[clvrlad]

i belive its terminal 3 but i could be wrong as they didnt mention that bit just the flight operator and a quick eyeball at heathrow's website said terminal 3. buticould have missed the except the flight your friends are on that will be on the other side of the airport.....
