Can I ask if those regular users of BA and LHR if that is standard for BA there as it’s a pretty lamentable performance at your Hub airport.
It's a fundamental misconception that FlightRadar24's history shows departure times. It doesn't - it shows takeoff times.
The difference between the two - i.e. pushback and taxy - can easily exceed 20 minutes at an airport like LHR.
