Okay, this one is a bit of a stretch, but hear me out. If you live within a few miles of Heathrow, you could walk or cycle with a backpack. It’s free, great exercise, and you’ll have the best “how I got to the airport” story at the gate.
But let’s be real: I wouldn’t recommend this for anyone with more luggage than a fanny pack. The roads around Heathrow are not exactly bike-friendly, and security might side-eye you if you arrive sweaty. Still, if you’re that committed to saving, you deserve a medal—or at least a free mini pretzel on the plane.
