2nd day for delayed departure to GIG.
Yesterday and now today the BA249 has left LHR over two hours late, meaning the evening return flight back to LHR also departs late (2 AM). Is this happening elsewhere also? Weather in London? I'm due to fly on Sunday and I hope this does not run into a 3rd day.
It was less than an hour late today.

Really? That's better news. Google gave it as 2 hours and the knock on effect of 2.5 hours delay for tonight's BA249. I'm just concerned about keeping my kids awake for a 2am departure on Sunday.

STD 1135, ATD 1226, airborne 1249. STA 2115, current ETA stated to be 2245 but flightradar24 gives estimated landing time as 2204, so the ETA may well come forward.
Current ETD for BA248 is 0015 (75 minutes behind).
But for tomorrow, who knows? As we are constantly being told, past performance is not a guarantee of future results. The one thing that I would speculate about (although it is no more than guesswork) is that the number of minor delays across the LHR operation today may be because of de-icing.
