I dont know of any airline that flight plans 20mins of holding fuel into any london airport
See my previous comment - sensible fuel decisions lead to stress free arrivals. It's not a case of "fill her up", but using experience to come up with a comfortable (but not wasteful) decision. As a result I have never diverted from LHR for fuel shortage in the 20+ years I have operated from there.
