Storm Darragh disrupted travel at London Heathrow, causing widespread cancellations and delays. The storm canceled over 200 flights and delayed nearly 400 others. Fierce winds and heavy rain grounded planes, stranding thousands of passengers. Airlines like British Airways, Emirates, Lufthansa, and Delta faced intense operational challenges.

Winds reaching 93 mph prevented safe takeoffs and landings, forcing airlines to cancel flights. Heathrow Airport, a major transit hub, struggled to keep flights on schedule. Connecting passengers missed onward flights and scrambled to rebook their journeys. Travelers dealt with uncertainty as the storm worsened.

Airlines actively managed the surge in rebooking and cancellations. British Airways handled numerous disruptions, leaving passengers waiting for available seats. Emirates, Delta, and Lufthansa struggled with delays, leaving terminals overcrowded with frustrated travelers. Passengers spent hours at the airport, seeking clear updates on their flights.

The storm disrupted travel beyond Heathrow, affecting trains and roadways across the UK. Dublin Airport and Scottish hubs canceled flights, worsening the chaos. The UK government issued alerts, urging people to avoid travel and stay safe from flying debris and severe conditions.

Travelers should check flight updates before heading to airports. Airlines offer flexible rebooking options for canceled flights, but availability remains limited. Booking early can secure seats for future flights. Storm conditions may continue disrupting travel in the coming days. Passengers should prepare for delays as Heathrow and airlines restore operations.
