Heathrow T4 to T3 on Christmas day

I've booked a hotel on 24th at T4 and will take a flight on 25th at T3.
Just realised unlike 2023 there was still limited service, this year there's no railway service at all on 25th, and no underground /Elizabeth line.
So my only option is uber? But 3 people with at least 4 big luggage can not fit in a car.
My bad to travel during festive period, any experienced traveller could you share some advice?

Thanks

Just get an uber xl? Or two ubers? Or change your hotel so it's at T3? Or some of the buses between terminals may be running.

There is a free bus service that goes between terminals. If you can get to T4 you will be able to transfer to T3.

Oh, actually I’m re-reading your post and wondering if this isn’t an option as your starting point should technically be T3. I wonder if you could webchat and ask?? Otherwise I think taxi/uber may be the only option.

Can you not just find a hotel at T3 instead?

Getting a hotel room in the Heathrow Central area can be a challenge whereas T4 has three decent hotels attached.

@foreverha

Not sure if the H30 runs on Christmas Day (it might do since it serves some 24/7 destinations such as the freight area) but I think family plus bags might be a struggle….

When I was a regular in that part of the world and needed wheels I used what was then then a local company called Parker Cars…they were often used by crew and others needing inter terminal transfers at Heathrow and if you spoke to them ahead of time over the phone they were pretty good at matching the vehicles they were providing with amount luggage and passenger numbers…prices were OK.

I last used them several years back so TBH I have no idea if they have maintained standards but here’s a link, they may be worth a phone call:

When flying from T3, we usually book the Hilton Garden Inn. It’s closer to T2, but there’s an underground walkway that connects to T3 and it's an easy 5 min walk.
