even with a strong tail wind, its unlikely they will be allowed to land much before 6am and they will join the q to get in as the restrictions open up at 6am

in the past, when i flew DXB to LHR a lot. many times my 6:15 arrival from DXB was well ahead of schedule. but as we approach heathrow we get held and end up touching down about 6:10

Some of the restrictions may have eased since I had so many early morning arrivals, but with the number of flights coming it at that time I do not think they will get much improvement on a 6;20 arrival
