As the world’s biggest winter sporting event kicks off in Milano-Cortina, UK fans have a chance to save on their journey to the action thanks to Heathrow Express. The high-speed, non-stop train from Central London to Heathrow Airport is offering 12% off full-fare tickets, making it easier and more affordable for supporters travelling to Northern Italy.
Travel to Milano-Cortina Made Easier
With thousands of fans heading to the games, travel costs can quickly add up. Average hotel room rates in Milan during February are expected to double, ranging from €481–€516 per night (£410–£440), while total trip costs—including flights, accommodation, event tickets, and food—can exceed £2,450 for a multi-night stay.
Heathrow Express offers a fast, comfortable alternative to reach the airport, helping fans start their trip stress-free. With spacious carriages and ample luggage space, the train is ideal for winter coats, ski wear, and extra layers. For travellers looking for a premium experience, the Business First upgrade includes Fast Track security at Heathrow, allowing passengers to move from train to terminal swiftly and start their holiday in style.
12% Off Tickets for a Limited Time
The 12% discount is valid for both Standard Class and Business First fares. Tickets can be booked online or via the Heathrow Express app using the code WINTERHEX. The promotion runs until 27th February 2026, with discounted travel valid for journeys until 27th February 2027. The offer also extends to additional passengers booked on the same journey.
Aoife Considine, Business Lead at Heathrow Express, said:
“We know that for many fans, getting to the world’s biggest winter sporting event is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but the costs can quickly add up.
