    All airlines are experiencing major disruption to its operations at London Heathrow airport because of severe airport congestion following the introduction of new security arrangements.

    All shorthaul (UK and European) inbound and outbound flights to and from London Heathrow up until 1500 BST today (August 10) are cancelled.

    Any customers (longhaul and shorthaul) who do not need to travel today to or from London Heathrow are advised to stay at home.

    It is likely that there may be a number of longhaul cancellations from London Heathrow during the day.

    The traffic situation on all approaching roads to London Heathrow is also extremely congested and any customers thinking of flying from the airport to are advised to leave plenty of time for their journeys.

    Passengers who do decide to travel from any UK airport, may only take through the airport security search point, the following items:

    Travel documents essential for the journey (eg passports, tickets and
    visas)

    Pocket sized wallets and pocked sized purses plus contents (for example
    money, credit cards and identity cards). Handbags are not permitted.

    Prescribed medicines essential for the duration of the flight, except in
    liquid form unless verified as authentic.

    Spectacles and sunglasses, without cases.

    Contact lenses, without bottles of solution

    For those travelling with an infant: baby food, milk and sanitary items
    essential for the flight.

    Keys (but no electrical key fobs).

    Every other item must be carried in customer’s hold luggage.

    For clarity, passengers are advised that no electrical or battery powered items including laptops, mobile phones, ipods, remote controls etc can be carried in the cabin and must be checked in as hold baggage

    I thought people were just trying to smuggle liquid explosives, not blow up planes?

    I am flying back tomorrow and i rang the airline who said i have to be hand searched and take a clear plastic bag on with me, how dare they stupid idiots, not only are they trying to ruin our time but because of them i have to get up an hour early, cant belive it, the cheek. I feel sorry for all the good ethnic minoritys out there who have a stigma on them, because no offence but i would feel uneasy if they were on the plane. And im not racist.

    They wouldn't, they were planning on coordinating the blowing up of transatlantic passenger jets on a massive scale.

    Allegedly
