More than 50 flights were canceled at Heathrow on Sunday after freezing fog resulted in air traffic control restrictions on the number of aircraft that could land and depart per hour, APA reports citing BBC.
The airport said it was keeping passengers safe and getting them to their destinations as quickly as possible.
"We encourage passengers to check their flight status with their airline for the latest information," a spokeswoman said.
British Airways, Heathrow's biggest airline, said it had apologized to customers and was refunding or rebooking anyone whose flight had been canceled and providing refreshments and hotel vouchers where needed.
It said Heathrow was going to restrict flights in and out of the airport again on Monday, meaning more disruption.
Gatwick Airport temporarily closed one of its runways at 17:55 GMT on Sunday due to un-forecast snow and reopened it at 20:00 when conditions were safer.
A number of flights were delayed or cancelled, while 28 others were also diverted to other airports during the closure.
"Every effort is being made to get these flights back to Gatwick tonight," a spokesman said.
"Freezing weather conditions are expected to continue this evening and may cause further disruption at the airport.
"Passengers traveling this evening and tomorrow are advised to check their flight status with the airline - and also local travel conditions - before departing for the airport."
A spokesperson for London Luton Airport warned that there could be disruption to flights and also advised passengers to allow extra time when traveling to the airport.
On Saturday, Manchester Airport closed both runways due to "heavy snowfall," with dozens of flights affected.
Some passengers complained on Sunday about a lack of information from airlines on the cancellations.
Others said they had been unable to get off planes due to the icy conditions.
