Is there a passenger pick up area at Heathrow or are you now forced to park and pay for security?

Can't I just keep driving round and round in the drop off area and pick up a passenger?

What just ANY passenger? Wouldn't you want to ask their permission first?

When I worked there, heavily armed Policeman tended to persuade you not to.....

Seems odd though...
I suppose they don't want people loitering around but to force people to pay is a bit harsh, there should be a free 30mins or so...

GordonFreeman, you could find somewhere to park up outside the airport and then when the person you're picking up is ready they could make their way to the drop-off area and call you. Will save a few quid.

That's exactly the trick we often employ when picking someone up at MCR. They seem to turn a blind eye. If we phone for a taxi we've been told to do that too.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Yeah I always get picked up from the drop off point. They park about 10 min away and I phone when I have got my bags and the timings normally work out. The Police only care if you are stationary there for longer than about 5 min.
Although one time I was waiting (dropping off, dad had taken my grandma in) the car in front was left un-attended, the police walked up, broke in within 1 min, alarm off in 30 secs and drove it away. Unfortunately I left before I got to see the reaction of the person whos care it was!

wam15, that was gentle! Underneath the old Terminal one I have seen a Police Land Rover chain up a car and simply drag it away

You know it makes sense.

there is a petrol station / somerfield on the a4 that you can wait at. it is 5 mins drive from t1-4. google map heathrow and zoom in - its next to axis house. when you pick up from arrivals you dont get charged for just driving straight through.

There is a petrol station on the A30, just after the A312 junction, which is usually swamped with minicabs waiting to pickup at the airport. They tend to block the exit, and get a little shirty if you hold the horn down because you can't swing a lorry out when you've fuelled up...

There are 2 McDs on the Bath Road where the limmo drivers and minicabs wait. Also a greasy spoon on the A30 between the Ashford Hospital and Clockhouse roundabout if you are T4 side.

altis, same here, Manchester Terminal 1, head for opposite the Shell (?) garage, just at the entrance to the car park - the taxis can avoid heading in there and there's room to allow other drivers past too!!
Although, now with all the paraphernalia of 2 suitcases, board bag & ski bag we tend to drive and use the Meet & Greet - it's only a few quid more than a return taxi for us and it's right at the car park entrance, used it in January and were mightily impressed.
