That's quite a weather diversion. Had a longer one flying LHR-HKG of over 7 hours.

A bit of cheating I know. Truth is our flight was delayed by not one but two typhoons hitting Hong Kong one after the other. Our flight was not allowed to depart London until the second typhoon had passed/was passing our destination. Think of the fuel savings by not leaving on time!

Now, do you want to know how many holes there are altogether in the ceiling panels of the Heathrow terminal we were cooped up in?

Na, thought not.
