our flight to Budapest.” London Stansted Airport stated: “We have had no reports of disruption to our operation today. That being said, we recommend you arrive to the airport at the earliest

time your airline advises. Please get in touch with them directly to clarify. Thank you.” London Gatwick Airport also advised “arriving two-three hours before departure”. FULL LIST OF
