On May 4, Heathrow Airport in London debuted some new routes to select far-off destinations.
Among the destinations on the departures board are Hoth, Endor, and Tatooine.
If those seem like difficult places for an airplane to travel, rest assured that it's all in the spirit of today's blessed holiday.
Good morning from Heathrow. The force is strong with us today and we've got some special new routes. Will you be travelling to galaxies near... or far, far away? #Maythe4th #MayTheFourth #MayThe4thBeWithYou #StarWarsDay 🌌🌟 pic.twitter.com/B9IcnMOMxC

Today is Star Wars Day. And in celebration, Heathrow's departures board now features 10 Star Wars destinations, each with its own appropriate flight number. Some are delayed — Jakkuu due to sand storms, Hoth because there's snow on the runway. Kashyyyk, the Wookie homeworld, has extra-tight security measures in place.
Here's a closer look at the special new routes.

And appropriately, Alderaan is simply "cancelled."
Star Wars stans happily played along.
I’m hysterical to the levels that I don’t even think Sue can sort. My Alderaan has been cancelled. It’s light years away and the next flight isn’t for a year

Any information on the cancelled Alderaan flight? 🤔😂

One fan even noticed a little nod to the upcoming Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Good morning Ruben, a true star wars story. What galaxy would you travel to? #MayThe4thBeWithYou

If you're looking for a flight to Endor for the holiday weekend, try flying out of Heathrow. Just make sure not to book a flight to the Death Star. The airport suspects that it's a trap.
