Heathrow closure: What are my rights?

Quick Summary:

Flights from Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness to and from Heathrow have been grounded because of a substation fire.

When heavy snow closed Heathrow's runways for a day in December 2010, it resulted in more than 4,000 flights being cancelled over five days.

Heathrow is closed until at least 23:59 on Friday but has warned customers to expect "significant disruption over the coming days".
