I was wondering why getting back to England is such a difficult journey these days.

Due to the heightened security at UK airports, the Heathrow Airport website is currently experiencing a high level of people visiting the site.
The airport is experiencing severe disruption to its operation. All short-hall inbound flights have been cancelled. In-bound long-haul flights continue to operate but with severe delays. Check-in and hand search processes across all four terminals is severely affected, and this will continue throughout the day. We would ask passengers not to come to the airport today unless absolutely necessary. We would also advise those passengers who must travel today to consider using public transport and be prepared for long delays as a result of these measures.
In brief: Hand baggage restrictions are in place; Passengers will be handsearched; Footwear and all items (including pushchairs and walking aids) must be x-ray screened; Liquids will be removed from the passenger.
We apologise for any inconvenience and hope to resume access to the website as soon as possible
