If you’re like me, the recession is making your budget for luxuries more than a little tight—bye-bye, designer shoes; hello, Wal-Mart! I may be cutting back on big-ticket items, but I still indulge myself a little bit. After all, a girl needs her lattes.
That’s why I’m going to recommend the Heathrow Express, a 15-minute non-stop train service that runs from London’s Paddington Station to Heathrow International Airport. Because Heathrow Express is offering a free upgrade to First Class when you book online after April 1.
First class, you say? Is she crazy? These are coach-class times, lady!
Wipe that outraged look off your face. For just £32 (about $44) round-trip, you get extra-large leather-trimmed seats in a stylish cabin, personal tables, television service and Wi-Fi access—even when you’re speeding through the 6 kilometers of tunnel you’ll encounter on your journey.
So you get first-class accommodations for less than you’d spend on a taxi, plus you get to act smug because you’re helping to save the environment.
What’s not to like?
So clickety-click, people. Book anytime after April 1 for travel between June 15 and Aug. 31, 2009.
Mmmm, London in August. Don’t forget to pack your Right Guard!
