Ok guys, if theres ever a delay you want to know about, I would suggest you look first at
http://www.cfmu.eurocontrol.be/chmi_...jsp?serv1=aiml which gives details of all the flow control and air traffic control regulations in force at teh time... it's quite technical but it should at least tell you why theres a delay (eg due short staffing or aircraft incident or bad weather). If any of you wnat to know what any of the abbbreviations are that they use, just let me know.... but to start with, Heathrow is EGLL and Gatwick is EGKK. Frankfurt=EDDF, Paris CDG=LFPG, Rome Fumicino=LIRF, Madrid=LEMD etc etc
