LHR, best ATC in the world....

Sunday, Saturday, Wednesday or Thursday....the place runs at 98-100% capacity all the time, the day of the week doesn't matter.
As for how we are treated, it's an A380 destination these days for EK, so maybe someone will answer that, on the 777 we still go there on the freighter and its a pleasure....LHR does what it says on the tin...plan for it and its easier than anywhere else I've been.
Cut and paste from my ME thread post.

I second everything else spoken on here, retard, either you are a troll or you have very little working knowledge of the place, in which case you need to do a bit of reading as you sound like you should know better.
BA don't get priority, a good % of departures are slot restricted, and then it's a case of the controllers maximising the flow...as BA make up the vast % of flights out of LHR, then it stands to reason that a BA airframe is more likely to be shoehorned into the departure sequence, QED.
