Alas it was ... I can't quite follow what happened but in the end an A321 was scratched to operate out to Athens, seemingly empty, and they were returned on it to Heathrow at about 3am on Thursday, having first gone to Athens airport mid-afternoon Tuesday.
All seats taken, apparently, but zero catering provided apart from water.
