On Saturday 22 March, A388 VH-OQA took off from CDG as QF1D at 1208 hours with suggested gate arrival 1158 at LHR. Hard to see how it will make curfew in Sydney tomorrow night if it say departs LHR at 1415 local time this afternoon.

On Saturday 22 March, the 1915 hours PER-LHR is expected to depart at midnight, 275 minutes late. The Friday 21 same flight had B789 VH-ZNK, arriving LHR at 0557 hours, 52 late to a reopened Heathrow. Given the problems in London, the Sunday 23 QF1 is predicted to depart SYD at 0630 hours on...

LH once had a design made, but nothing came of it.

As highlighted in the delays/cancellations thread, QF has many problems with its A333s and A332s. I don't understand how the airline can justify taking one on a charter for two weeks when often enough it struggles to have a serviceable aircraft available for every scheduled 'normal' flight.

Many Australians would agree that Donald Trump's social policies are pleasing, such as the creation of DOGE, although some economic policies of his are not. It's not that putting me off: it's the terrible exchange rate. When I first travelled to the USA years ago, our dollar was worth $1.15...

Qantas is parotting other sources: Customers (sic) are advised not to travel to the airport. ------------------ So if there's buses organised to take passengers to Paris CDG, they won't be departing from outside LHR.

But they'll presumably be travelling overnight on a road coach and ferry (assuming they can't get a flight from another London airport to CDG or other Parisian airport.) Fatigue would set in.

Maybe not as "easy" as you claim! Heathrow tunnel, M4 spur and A312 Hayes bypass closed. The Elizabeth line (used by many to get to/from LHR) does not have any trains running between Hayes & Harlington and the airport due to the substation fire. Heathrow Express has cancelled all trains...

I wonder how for say tonight's QF2 passengers will all know where to assemble to board buses that would then go by ferry across the English Channel? Booked passengers could be anywhere. And the pilots and cabin crew for QF2 would of course be in London and environs, not Paris.

Eurostar is often booked out in normal circumstances, as the vast majority (IIRC >80 per cent) of travel between London and Paris is by it not the airlines. It also serves Lille (France, Brussels and recently resumed operating to Amsterdam after railway station works concluded. I've travelled...

From the PR website, departing SYD on Monday 19 May and LAX on Monday 2 June, the J return fare is A$4,999.02. Travel is naturally via MNL so it has a time penalty compared with flying nonstop, but it's a big saving.

PR's sale ends tonight. One example of a fare in J that undercuts QFi's sale by about A41,500: Melbourne (MEL)to Los Angeles (LAX) (via MNL) 07 May 2025 - 21 May 2025 From 6,084 AUD* Seen: 1 day ago Round-trip Business

PR's sale ends tonight. For MEL to BKK, September on the forward journey, returning in October, there's a fare on ITA Matrix of A$2616 return in J via MNL.

A333 VH-QPG on Thursday 20 January arrived as QF80 ex NRT in MEL at 0818 hours, 33 minutes late. It was given the impossible task of forming QF79, the 0925 hours MEL-NRT on time. It took off at 1230 hours so arrival in Japan tonight is estimated as 146 minutes late at 2021 hours. Looks like...

In a further Wednesday 19 March 2025 delay, QF19, the lunchtime 1205 hours SYD up to MNL is rescheduled to depart at 2055 this evening. 'The 20' is showing as departing MNL at the unseeemly hour of 0340 on Thursday 20, 500 minutes late. A332 VH-EBR is on the 19 March QF81 from SYD to SIN with...

Also on 18 March, QF73, the mid evening 2125 hours SYD-SFO B789 has been cancelled, so QF74 of the same date will also be. 1742294661 FR24 suggests VH-QPD is tonight operating empty as QF6010, a planned 1830 hours departure from HKG to SYD.

While it's not 24-hour, using a myki you could travel on the 901 route bus and transfer to a train at Broadmeadows. $5.50 for a two-hour ticket or $2.75 if yuo are a senior or child. myki cards cost $6 for adults and $3 for concession holders and can be purchased from the myki machines on the...

They've also fixed the ability to offer Eurail Global Pass paper passes with a starting date not specified: last time there was a sale, one had to nominate a date to start the pass. Most users go for the mobile pass but a significant number of paper passes (c.120,000 of the varying duration and...

On Tuesday 18 March 2025, QF93 (1200 'high noon' MEL-LAX) has B789 VH-ZNI. The flight is badly delayed for a third consecutive day, with takeoff at 1432 and same day gate arrival likely at 1019 hours, 119 minutes late.

As AF sometimes has very competitive fares on its recently recommenced MNL-CDG route (the best fares are to LHR or other European cities), this is useful feedback even though its a Schengen journey. Well posted.
