interestingly the flight status of the BA 1455 hon FR24 has just changed from estimated departure 18:56 to unknown and is final call on the airport boards,,, update gate closed around 19:20
the earlier flight due to depart EDI at 14:15 is just sitting at the end of the taxiway by the entry to the runway with other aircraft passing it and taking off

The 1455 is showing. Departure of 1856 and arrival at 2125 which sadly doesn’t help a CPH of departure of 2100.
It’s like a game of Treasure Hunt with Wincy Willis, Kenneth Kendall and Anneka Rice.

So, we get into T5, if the CPH flight hasn't left, do we just leg it?
If it's gone, where's the best place to sort the rebooking of the Friday flight?
I can't believe I flew so much and had so few issues before this .... show!

conformance MAY be a problem and they may need to tweek things
In theory the transfer desks in T5 transit hall would be the best place to rebook , but that COUlD be chaos and you may find on the app you are rebooked by the time you get to LHR

Good luck. Your LHR arrival is now 2052.
Chaos - a Greek word in origin but one which is very British Airways

So the EDI - :LHR service is now over Stoke on Trent and is looking to land at 21:10, so doors open at 21:20 with any luck. The CPH flight is from gate A11, so possibly not far from the EDI arrival gate. It's still showing at 21:00 however they haven't started boarding yet. which they would need to be doing for a 21:00 departure.
EDIT: CPH departure is now showing as 22:00 hrs......

Looks like the cph flight 822 is now delayed till 22:00 and every chance if not already rebooked you will make it
My money is on the cockpit crew from the edi flight also operating the cph flight
big question is, if offloaded already, could you get put back on it

The EDI flight has been given the Wembley shortcut.
EDIT: arrived at gate A3 approx 21:17.
OP: gate A11 is now staffed, but they won't be boarding to 21:30, so ask UK Flight Connections to call the gate and Control if conformance is blocked. A11 is just the other side of Wetherspoon Crown Rivers.
