Good morning and welcome to my attempt to fly from London to Dubai. You join me at Heathrow Terminal 3 where chaos reign. Due to a cyberattack 6 days ago, all the counters are still down, so checking in is a bit of a process.

Got to London and hour ahead of schedule due to great tailwinds. Have been sat in an uber in the terminal 3 car park for 20mins so far and haven't moved an inch.
