In addition to cancellations, many airlines have delayed their flights from LHR. These include Finnair and British Airways among others. Simple Flying has requested a comment from London Heathrow Airport.

London City Airport (LCY) is also experiencing disruptions with airlines such as British Airways, Luxair, Swiss, and Helvetic Airways delaying or canceling flights to and from the airport.

Meanwhile, airports like London Gatwick (LGW), London Stansted (STN), and London Luton (LTN) report minor delays due to adverse weather conditions.

Newcastle Airport (NCL) faced flight delays on November 23 because of heavy snow; some flights were canceled or diverted to Edinburgh or Belfast while efforts were made to minimize disruption.

The storm's impact extends beyond flight cancellations affecting ground transportation significantly. Roads leading to airports are congested while public transit faces weather-related delays causing stress for passengers trying to catch rescheduled flights amidst disrupted rail and bus services.

Although Storm Bert is beginning to subside its effects linger with clearing backlogs expected over several days affecting Europe broadly. Travelers should remain flexible stay in contact with airlines expecting ongoing disruptions.
