London Heathrow - Terminal 3



Part of the My Guide Network Since 2006 180+ destinations

Terminal 3 was completed in 1961 as the Oceanic Terminal dealing with primarily long haul routes.

The terminal offers a large selection of restaurants and fast food outlets in the departure area, but these can be expensive as in most major airports. There is also a selection of retail outlets which include duty free, electronic, fashion and newsagent stores. For a detail list of the stores available in terminal 2 please refer to BAA's Website (Link)

The terminal building also has Wi-Fi hot spots provided by BT Openzone, The Cloud and T-Mobile. The terminal was redeveloped in 2007 to improve the facilities for passengers, reduce traffic congestion and improve security.
