The journey took 3 mins? Is this the one where they quote 7 to 15 mins?

Thinking we could drop the car the evening before then get a taxi from and back to the airport in the morning which would give us a bit of extra time in the morning for our 9am flight as we’ll be staying overnight on bath road somewhere.

The journey was between 10 and 15 mins but it didn't feel too long, and the wait time for the bus was 3 mins (but would be longer if you just missed one). There was plenty of seats on the bus which had cages to stop the suitcases wheeling around. It really wasn't a problem, and we had an 8am flight so were parked around 5am.

Premier Inn bath road overnight then shift to purple parking right next door. Use their transport buses and save on hoppa fees.

We stayed in Crowne Plaza last time we went. Booked direct but used TCB (10%). It priced out the same as the Premier Inn for the 3 of us with a week's car parking. The Crowne Plaza has a decent swimming pool which swung it for us. You do need to use the Heathrow Hoppa though (or taxi/Uber etc)

We have used this one before and it was purple parking business but can’t see it the website now. Unless they’ve changed the name of it.

It's purple parking (multistorey) or sometimes just purple parking park and ride.
