Going to be a clusterF*ck. Manchester is already overloaded. De Gaulle, Munich, Amsterdam and Brussels can't pick up what's dropped. Most Int'l flights, due to cost and tax, primary airports is Heathrow adn from there jump a commuter elsewhere.

Last time we were in Munich, we chose were routed through Heathrow to Paris as it was 1/3 cost of going to Paris direct.

"Net Zero has been blamed for the complete shutdown of Heathrow after an aviation industry expert told Reform MP and Deputy Leader Richard Tice that Heathrow is moving from diesel back-up generators to biomass and the system failed “at the first time of asking” when a local electrical substation went up in flames."
