Heathrow to kensington: Hotel Hoppa Bus or Just airports?
It's me again - flying in and arriving at 9:30 on a thursday morning at HEATHROW. Don't want to take the tube/train to hotel in kensington. Does the Hoppa bus take you to your hotel? If not, I am booking justairports for a car. If we arrive at 9:30 (and have to pick up an 11-14 oyster card at heathrow) what time should we reserve for? 11:00am?
thanks, smschloss

Justairports is your best bet. The Hoppa only serves hotels in the immediate Heathrow area.
IMO, dot2dot wouldn't be a good choice in your situation because it is priced per person, and because you would be sharing the van w/ other travelers (sort of like SuperShuttle in the States) so you don't control how many stops ahead of you.
Justairports would be cheaper and is door-to-door w/o ride sharing.

If Cruiseryyc means a black taxi off the rank, take the advice with a VERY strong pinch of salt.
For a typical destination in centralish London (and "Kensington" covers a HUGE proprtion of central London) a black taxi will cost twice what justairports and their peers charge.
For four people, that ratio might not quite apply: you can't get four people plus luggage into a typical car, whereas they will fit into a taxi: you'll need a rather larger car than normal - but the car company will quote you the price. It's virtually certaion it'll still be substantially lower than a black taxi has to charge.
