What is the United Airlines terminal at Heathrow?

If you are flying with United Airlines from London Heathrow, here is the answer straight away: United Airlines flies only out of Terminal 2, aka The Queen’s Terminal. If you are flying to the US, or connecting to a Star Alliance partner, or meeting someone on arrival, Terminal 2 is the one you want – not Terminal 3 or Terminal 5, which is a common mistake as so many US carriers use those terminals instead.
