British Airways flies to London Heathrow non-stop. Other airlines make the journey but fly direct to different London airports (Ryanair to London Stansted in the north, Flybe to London City in the east, and easyJet to London Gatwick in the south). Depending on your final destination, it might be worth looking at these carriers too.
There is a long-stay and a mid-stay car park – both are good options. You can walk to the terminal from the mid-stay car park in 10min, while the shuttle from the long-stay car park (the cheaper option) only takes 10min and is a 24h service. For anyone who doesn’t like to wait, there is also a FastPark service which allows you to drop your car off in a hurry, though this service must be pre-booked.
There are several hotels just a few minutes'drive from the airport terminal, like the Hampton Hilton, the DoubleTree, and the Holiday Inn Express.
If you travel through the city before arriving at the airport, it's very close (12 miles) and takes about 25min by bus or tram. The Airlink bus (number 100) leaves from Waverley Bridge (close to the bus and train stations, and Princes Street) every 10min. The tram runs every 7min.
The Heathrow Express leaves every 15min starting at 05:00 every morning. It takes 15min to get from Terminals 2 and 3 into London Paddington (a station in the north of the central zone in London), though trips from Terminals 4 and 5 can take a few minutes longer. A cheaper way to travel is by using the London Underground – it will cost a fraction of the price but will take up to 1h, depending on where you are heading.

Flight attendants were very nice. Food was ok. For a newer plane (777), business class was pretty beaten up. It seems BA doesn’t do a great job of maintaining their aircraft.
