Sorry you missed your slot, I think there were 8 or us who requested to be offloaded. I agree the crew were excellent. As I previously mentioned it was a difficult decision. We had to weigh up the risk of not making it to AMS that evening or indeed whether the evening return flight back to LHR would have sufficient fuel or issues with the storm to get us back for our LHR-CPT connection.

Whilst we're lucky BA understood our predicament and protected our flight to CPT, it's still a worrying position to be in. I was given no written confirmation that I can safely skip AMS-LHR and that the LHR-CPT et al is protected. I called the Silver call centre this morning and was told that there are comments on the booking so should be fine. "Should" be fine!

Aiming to get to LHR early for check-in. Probably before the AMS-LHR flights closes. Also because I'll be parked at T5 and have to get over to T3 with baggage. Still waiting on a decision from Heathrow parking whether they will allow me to return to my booked parking slot eventhou I left the airport last night.
