The school summer holidays are prime time for family adventures, whether you’re heading to a sun-drenched beach or a long-awaited visit to see that iconic landmark. If your trip starts at Heathrow Airport, the idea of navigating travel chaos with kids can feel… a little less relaxing.
That’s where a bit of planning and a great meal can make all the difference. At Hi! Pizza Heathrow, we’re here to make your family travel experience smoother, tastier, and way more fun.
With school holidays fast approaching and airports starting to buzz, here’s how to get ahead of the stress and enjoy a smoother start to your break:
We all know kids need to run around and move, even if the timing isn’t exactly ideal! Instead of chasing them down the aisles of the plane, let them burn off that energy before boarding.
Airports can be overwhelming for kids, the excitement of the journey combined with the long waits and confined spaces. Before boarding, find an area where they can move around freely. Most of Heathrow terminals now have kids' soft play zones and designated family areas, perfect for little ones to climb, run and explore.
Even a walk around the terminal can help burn off some of that extra energy. Letting your little one be active before the flight can make a huge difference in how they settle once on board. Help curb the restlessness mid-air, giving you a calmer, more relaxing journey.
Booking a hotel near Heathrow the night before your flight is one of the best summer travel hacks for families. Say goodbye to the early morning panic, traffic drama and take more time to ease into holiday mode, not to mention the delicious meal you can have the night before travelling.
Many local hotels offer family rooms or adjoining spaces, as well as early breakfasts for early flights. Spending the night in an airport hotel will give you one less thing to worry about. A stay at Holiday Inn Bath Road means you are already within minutes of terminals 2, 3 and 5.
Flying during the summer school holidays means long queues, busy terminals, and “I’m hungry” on repeat. We’re here to fix that with fresh, fast, family-friendly food.
We’ve crafted our kids’ menu at Hi! Pizza for flavour, fun, and convenience. Perfect for little foodies or small appetites, our kids' menu offers the same quality and taste. Choose from delicious dishes like mini margherita or ham and pineapple pizzas, pasta with Bolognese and more!
Simple, tasty options that arrive fast and disappear even faster. No complicated choices. No complaints. Just dishes that make kids (and parents) happy.
