Getting to Korean Air at Heathrow by taxi

- Work back from Korean Air’s check-in advice, then add the drive time and some margin for traffic.

Arriving on a Korean Air flight
Arriving at Heathrow with Korean Air? The driver tracks the flight, so delays are handled automatically. Once you’ve collected your bags, meet at the agreed pickup point, or look for your name board if you’ve booked meet and greet, and your driver will be waiting inside arrivals.
Connecting with SkyTeam partners
As a SkyTeam airline, Korean Air shares partnerships with other alliance members. If your trip combines Korean Air with a partner airline, check whether both legs use Terminal 4 or whether you’ll need to move between terminals, and build that time into your plans.
