Find your flight

Every flight landing at or leaving London Heathrow we logged on 21 October 2026 that ran 3 hours or more late or was cancelled, and that UK or EU rules cover. Flights leaving the UK show when they leave and when they land, each in local time. How late is counted from when they land. Amounts are per person on the booking (half on the longest flights that landed 3 to 4 hours late). Airlines can still dispute a claim by proving the cause was outside their control, so check yours for the real answer. We earn a fee if you claim through a Claim link.

Around this day

This is our own flight tracking, not CAA punctuality data: we sweep the airports we cover several times a day and log the flights that cross the 3-hour line or are cancelled outright. It is not every flight at London Heathrow that day, only the ones that went wrong, and of those, only the ones UK or EU rules cover, which is what this page is about. The day page counts the flights that landed at every airport we swept, covered by the rules or not, so its totals are larger.
