Creator's Key Takeaways

i am lucky enough to be booked on the inaugural cruise on carnival jubilee from southampton uh in england to galveston in texas

the one i always use is the heathrow express it runs every 15 minutes and it takes about 15 minutes it is never that full

the underground is broken down into zones i'll explain that a little bit more in the while basically it really means how far out you are

if you want to take the risk of that price going up you could buy it right now although you can't it's not refundable as i understand it

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the Heathrow Express and book it months in advance to save significant money.
Avoid the Underground if traveling with heavy luggage due to stairs and crowds.
Get an Oyster Card (specifically the Visitor Oyster Card) to benefit from daily price caps.
Use the Hotwire app to find 'Hot Rates' for hotels, but use the standard rate filter to identify the specific hotel beforehand.
Take the Eurostar train to Paris instead of flying to avoid long travel times from airports.
