Heathrow launches limited-edition Top Trumps celebrating its top global destinations

Heathrow has released a brand-new, first-of-its-kind pack of Top Trumps, giving passengers a fun way to explore the airport’s most popular and far-reaching destinations before they even leave the ground. 

Launching as part of Heathrow’s 80th birthday celebrations, the game is available exclusively at Heathrow, in vending machines and stores across all four terminals.  

The pack celebrates Heathrow’s unrivalled global connectivity, shining a spotlight on some of the most popular destinations currently on offer at the world’s most connected airport – from domestic favourites like Edinburgh to long-haul icons including New York, Santiago and Mexico City.  

Each card brings a destination to life through fun facts and key stats, including population, flight time and distance from Heathrow and number of daily departures. The game allows players to learn about – and compete over – the routes that connect millions of passengers to the world every year. 

The deck showcases beautiful aerial shots of each destination, taken from a birds-eye view to simulate flying into the destination from Heathrow. Each card also features a unique ‘visited’ tick box, so families can keep track of all the destinations they visit. 

At the heart of the pack is New York, crowned this edition’s ‘Top Trump’ for being Heathrow’s most popular destination ever. The pack’s cover features a beautiful image of Mount Fuji, capturing the spirit of global exploration and the breadth of destinations Heathrow serves. 

The game also highlights routes unique to Heathrow, including direct services to Santiago and Mexico City – routes which are not available non-stop from anywhere else in the UK. 

Every new route from Heathrow opens up more of the world for passengers and businesses. Expansion will make this possible on a larger scale, bringing even more destinations into reach and giving travellers greater choice and lower fares.

Fraser Brown, Retail Director at Heathrow, says: “Heathrow Top Trumps is a first for us, created exclusively for our passengers as we mark our 80th year. It’s a unique, nostalgic keepsake, an interesting way to explore some of our most popular destinations, and a fun way to pass the time – whether at the airport, on the plane or on holiday.” 

Tom Liddell, Chief Executive and Marketing Officer at Winning Moves UK, says: “Top Trumps has been a family favourite for almost 50 years. Those that grew up in the 1970s and 80s will remember there were several packs around planes and flight, so to make a customised pack to celebrate Heathrow’s 80th anniversary feels like we’re coming home!” 

The collectible packs cost £9.99 and will be sold exclusively at Heathrow, in vending machines, WHSmith and Relay stores across all four terminals.  

Price: £9.99 

Where to buy: Terminals 2, 3, 4, and 5 – in vending machines, WHSmith and Relay stores. 

Availability: Heathrow exclusive product 

Launch date: 26th June 2026
