On Monday 8 December 2025, QF11, the 1745 hours SYD-LAX A388 is expected to depart two hours late.

B789 VH-ZNC on QF10 from LHR down to PER is not arriving until an expected 1320 hours, 50 minutes late, as on Sunday 7, this 1150 hours very late morning offering did not take off until 1303.

A333 VH-QPE is booked on the lunchtime 1205 hours MEL-SIN 'first division' QF35 that optimistically is showing as departing at 1235 hours. The plane only arrived MEL at 1110 hours (55 late) as QF36 from SIN.

On AA. I should be grateful I have a flight in business.

Given AA42 is scheduled into BNE at 0545 hours (i.e. 0645 SYD/MEL time), what flight are you booked on from BNE down to SYD?

(I'm assuming the total extra time is about four hours, if your timetabled transfer in BNE takes a couple of hours).

The flight number is correct - many thanks - but there was an aircraft swap in Johannesburg.

A388 VH-OQJ,. the aircraft that had diverted to MEL, arrived JNB at 1807 hours on Saturday 6 as QF63D and then took off for SYD as the 'regular' QF64 at 2133 hours on Sunday 7 with arrival in SYD at gate estimated for Monday 8 December at 1807 hours, 217 minutes later than scheduled arrival at 1430 hours.

Meanwhile VH-OQB operated the normal QF63 on Sunday 7, arriving JNB at 1454 hours, six minutes early, with it then taking off at 1741 as QF7064. SYD arrival on Monday 8 should be at about 1343 hours at gate.

Did anyone hear what caused the QF63 diversion to Melbourne?

@jb747 remarked that the indicators of the flight were within the normal ranges when or after it turned back, so he couldn't glean a possible reason. Nor (naturally) could I.
