Flight delayed, me also delayed
Sorry a quick one and I know the answer is on here somewhere but I have ropey signal. My flight is delayed by an hour. Handily I知 also very late for my flight.
I値l arrive around an hour before the delayed estimated time of departure. Is this ok given I have already checked in/ hand luggage only?

Which airport/terminal? T5, probably not, where you should enter Security 35mins before scheduled departure time. This is sometimes changed for delays, but you can't rely on it.

The current departure estimate for your flight BA2603 PSA-LGW is 2014 (which would be 24 minutes behind schedule).
Good luck!
ETA: It turns out the OP was on a different flight.

Indeed he mentioned many issues. Unfortunately it was the classic wait until everyone onboard then break the bad news. So we池e sitting on tarmac for another 40 mins at least.
One question, our ETA is at least 11 (midnight in fact). Now I知 pretty sure if that really is the case, I知 not going to be landing at Heathrow due to night curfew. Does that sound about right and where do you think I might end up?

Heathrow can extend the curfew in certain circumstances so I think you will be ok to land at heathrow at the moment.
Hopefully you will get an earlier slot
