*fewer not 'less' as 'problems' can be counted. Good point though.

It is February, normally (with the exception of Chinese New Year) a low demand month for international travel in and out of Australia, but while there's a lag (most travellers unless going for a funeral or to be with relatives who are expected to pass away) do not book super close to day of...

On Monday 3 February 2025, QF68 (A333 VH_QPH) arrived in SYD (ex BLR in India) at 1234 hours, 109 minutes late, as QF67 had been delayed. It formed QF19 from SYD to MNL, the 1205 hours airborne at 1634, arriving in the Philippine capital at 2125 hours, 235 minutes late. QF20 took off at 2351...

A333 VH-QPB on Saturday 1 February's QF59, the 1200 'high noon' SYD-HND is expected to depart at 1240 hours. 1738370356 This is its second cancellation in three days. Not good.

Storms around SYD are causing significant delays on Tuesday 28 January. VA434 (B738 VH-IWY, the 1730 hours SYD-ADL) had yet to commence pushback as at 1946. VH-YIW on VA65 (1745 hours SYD up to DPS) was similarly affected.

With what appear to be significant storms all around SYD, big delays are occurring. B738 VH-VZP is one example. It's operating QF466, the 1630 hours MEL-SYD in the sky at 1822 early this evening, about 95 minutes late. Gate arrival at a predicted 2006 hours will be 131 late. QF478, the 1800...

What looks like big storms surrounding SYD are causing significant delays. EK416, the Monday 27 January 2145 hours DXB-SYD took off at 2226 hours, only about 10-15 minutes late. It had to hold over Narrandera NSW, and is arriving SYD at 1937 hours, 62 minutes late.

Updating the above, QF67 SYD-BLR is expected to arrive 90 minutes late. B789 VH-ZNE on QF27, the lunchtime 27 January SYD-SCL, is expected to depart 40 minutes late. Connecting passengers?

Compared to booking a return ticket from Oz to Manila on PR, staying a night or two to ensure connections work and then using another airline to get to London or Europe and back from Europe (avoiding the UK Air Passenger Duty levied on outbound flights), flying via Cairo seems very complicated...

On Monday 27 January, QF67, the 0930 hours SYD-BLR (A332 VH-EBS) had not taken off as at 1124 hours. A388 VH-OQG on QF63 (also an 0930 hours departure, but to JNB) was airborne at 1044 so a 1527 hours mid afternoon arrival is predicted, 42 minutes late.

QR908, the scheduled Friday 24 January 2045 hours mid evening DOH-SYD (A388 A7-APC) took off at 2251. On Saturday 25, gate arrival should be about 2040 hours, 110 minutes late. QR909 (the 2140 hours SYD-DOH) "should" be able to depart at around 2240 if all goes well.

In more on 23 January, A333 VH_QPC arrived in SYD at 1151 hours, 116 minutes late as QF60 from HND. It has become QF59, the 1200 'high noon' SYD-HND airborne at 1506 with arrival at gate suggested as 2229 hours late tonight, 149 late. This is QPC's eighth consecutive badly delayed...

Commencing in January 2025, the Indian Pacific's eastbound timetable (i.e. Perth to Adalaide/Sydney) has been significantly altered with a Saturday late afternoon departure (1752 hours) rather than Sunday mornings at 1000, and consequently a more relaxed schedule en route: seeing Kalgoorlie at...

How long since you've flown PR? It used to use half of T2 at MNL NAIA for international flights. It has switched to T1, and has a new, much larger lounge, although I have not showered there.

Yes, the 0100 to 0400 hours gap is odd when MEL boasts it's a 'curfew free' airport, and if travelling internationally, most of us like to turn up at check-in counters three hours prior. If my international flight is at 0700, I don't want to be forced to arrive at the airport at 0130 hours.

I don't have any mobility problems but with a 23kg suitcase, hauling it from European trains to platforms or vice versa can be hard work. If I "look" like I'm struggling (bearing in mind I also carry a backpack), I've often found, including recently, that someone else steps in and quickly...

Thank you Scarlett. You were the first one to pick up on the 'intent' of my question. I wasn't attempting to discuss domestic bus transfers for QFd, VA or ZL - only international airports in Oz Given the discussion has expanded to overseas airports, a common experience has been domestic...
