Heathrow Airport in London is capping the number of departing passengers it can process daily to 100,000. The restriction is causing delays and cancellations to international flights travelling to and from the airport.
The restriction on passenger numbers is expected to last for several months.
If you're travelling through Heathrow in the coming weeks, plan ahead.
- Contact your airline to confirm your flights.
- Ensure you take out travel insurance that covers you for flight cancellations.
- Be prepared for long wait times at the airport.
- Have contingency plans in place if your flight is delayed or cancelled and you're overseas longer than expected.
