Saturday was the Dublin fear of flying course and it was a great day, despite the best attempts of the wind! On the way back to Heathrow most flights were delayed. Thankfully ours wasn't and we actually boarded on time and departed on time! So far so good. We knew we had a tail wind and we would have a quick flight and actually arrived at one of the Heathrow holds in 30mins! The Captain warned us we might have to hold with the line, "ATC are telling us we have a 15min delay." This is certainly not unusal, Heathrow and the skies above it are very busy. 40mins later we started our approach, strong winds were causing the aircraft to fly down the approach a lot slower and that means a reduced landing rate. It just goes to prove best laid plans. And if you want to know what the hold looks like, attached is a pic.
