I would not get use to this. They are indeed accomodating at LHR at the moment with all the hoo haa as there have been cancelled flights so they will try and get as many out on flights as they can. But to be honest, if you have chosen to buy an unflexible ticket they are well within their right to refuse you an earlier flight and you should not feel you have the right to complain! Just my opinion!
