Back in 2002 a flight I took from Boston to London arrived into LHR airspace about 45-50 mins earlier than it should have due to a decent tailwind from the jetstream. Sadly we stacked for an hour and a half and ended up arriving later than the scheduled arrival time....because fricken Heathrow bottlenecks, and we almost missed our connecting flight back to Scotland. Grrr.
