I've experienced this in the US and Canada too, but it doesn't seem to be a problem at Heathrow in my experience. LHR is slot constrained, but not gate constrained. Worst case, you end up on a remote stand with a bus ride in to the terminal.
- LeoPanthera 7y agoHeathrow has a very specific restriction - no landings before 6am, due to the noise for local residents.
- Reason077 7y agoCorrect. Noise curfews are common at European airports.
