Indeed. Not massively looking forward to trying to fly out tomorrow (though Gatwick not LHR). Bound to be fucked up somewhere.

I've not heard anything particularly bad about Gatwick recently so you may be fine, I'd still be there like 4 hours early though just in case. The fact some airports are alright highlights how much it's just Heathrow's staffing issues.

"The bottomline is, the LHR management team are cavalier about travellers and their airline customers. All the signals of a strong travel rebound were there, and for months, Emirates has been publicly vocal about the matter. We planned ahead to get to a state of readiness to serve customers and travel demand, including rehiring and training 1,000 A380 pilots in the past year.
LHR chose not to act, not to plan, not to invest. Now faced with an “airmageddon” situation due to their incompetence and non-action, they are pushing the entire burden – of costs and the scramble to sort the mess - to airlines and travellers"
