Find Heathrow parking options and prices

Purpose

Retrieve available Heathrow parking products and their prices for a specified arrival date/time, exit date/time, and terminal.

When to Use

Use for requests asking which Heathrow parking options are available and how much each costs. Inputs should include arrival and exit dates, times, and terminal; encode dates as the site's two-digit day, three-letter uppercase month, and two-digit year values.

Workflow

1. Construct the direct results URL, avoiding the parking landing page and form interaction: https://www.heathrow.com/booking/booking-search?cgid=parking&searchType=parking&dd={arrival-dd}&dm={arrival-mon}&dy={arrival-yy}&rd={exit-dd}&rm={exit-mon}&ry={exit-yy}&ap=LHR{terminal}&t={arrival-hhmm}&rt={exit-hhmm}&pa=1&pc=0&pi=0&pax=1
2. Navigate to that URL and wait for the results page to load. If a consent overlay prevents interaction, accept essential cookies, then continue.
3. On the loaded results page, run this single evaluate() extractor:

   (() => {
     const priceRe = /£\s?[\d,]+(?:\.\d{1,2})?/g;
     const seen = new Set(),
       out = [];
     const els = [
       ...document.querySelectorAll('article,[role="article"],section,div'),
     ];
     for (const el of els) {
       const text = (el.innerText || "").replace(/\s+/g, " ").trim();
       if (!text || text.length > 1800 || !/£\s?[\d,]+/.test(text)) continue;
       const prices = [...text.matchAll(priceRe)].map((m) => m[0]);
       if (!prices.length) continue;
       const heading = el.querySelector('h1,h2,h3,h4,[role="heading"]');
       const name = (heading?.innerText || text.split(/£\s?[\d,]+/)[0])
         .replace(/\s+/g, " ")
         .trim();
       if (!name || name.length > 180) continue;
       const key = `${name}|${prices.join("|")}`;
       if (seen.has(key)) continue;
       const parent = el.parentElement;
       const parentText = (parent?.innerText || "").replace(/\s+/g, " ").trim();
       if (
         parent &&
         parentText.length <= 1800 &&
         /£\s?[\d,]+/.test(parentText) &&
         parent.querySelector('h1,h2,h3,h4,[role="heading"]')
       )
         continue;
       seen.add(key);
       out.push({ name, prices, text });
     }
     return out;
   })();

4. Return the extracted name and prices for every parking option, preserving any accompanying text when useful for product details.

Site-Specific Gotchas

• Heathrow exposes quote results through /booking/booking-search, not a plainly discoverable static parking-results path.
• The terminal is encoded as ap=LHR{terminal}; for example, Terminal 5 uses ap=LHR5.
• Date parameters use separate fields: dd/dm/dy for arrival and rd/rm/ry for exit. Times use 24-hour HHMM values in t and rt.
• The results page may show a cookie-consent overlay. It does not change the URL parameters; accept only essential cookies if the overlay blocks the page.
• Product markup may contain nested cards and repeated prices. The extractor deduplicates heading-plus-price combinations and avoids returning nested duplicates; verify the returned text if Heathrow changes its card structure.

Expected Output

An array of objects, one per available parking product, such as: [{"name":"<parking option>","prices":["£<amount>"],"text":"<option details>"}]
