Whenever the news reports a "busy day" at Heathrow, the numbers they
quote are usually extremely close to the average. Because most
flights at Heathrow are full, and there's no slots for extra
aircraft, there isn't much of a daily fluctuation.

(From the airport's website, daily average 190k/busiest ever day 233k)

The amount of luggage accompanying the passengers varies more I suspect.
This is the winter holiday period. Business travellers carry rather less,
I have a feeling.

So the people with a problem are the tourists travelling business
class with lots of luggage, rather than the businessmen who would
otherwise be travelling business class with less luggage.

Huh? Where did business class come into it? Certainly on my flight there was
almost no-one in business class but there were a lot of people in Economy
with a lot of luggage.

I suspect your target audience would rather be seen dead than using
public transport to depart Heathrow.

You've missed my point entirely.
