Two London airports officially have the fewest cancellations in the UK - here are the capital's most reliable air hubs

After spending months anticipating a holiday, a week spent packing and doing last minute admin, and several stressful hours going through check-in and security at the airport, the very last thing you want to hear is that your flight has been axed.
