Nope, it was in May and due to the fuel contamination, but was several weeks later and most other airlines were avoiding the stop by then. The annoyance wasn't the stop, which I understand is necessary, but that they decided not to tell me when I booked the ticket, when they already knew there was a problem, and that I would be affected. This is quite disingenuous, a misery compounded by LHR ground crew not adjusting for the late incoming.
