    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    FR24 has other problems: a perennial when flights are running late is to show two rows featuring the same flight, with different forecast departure times. It's also not great at showing flights delayed by say 25 hours: there's no '+1' indicator so we're left to work out that a flight must be a...

    @markis10 , B789 VH-ZNC on the diverted QF3 remains in Pittsburgh with QFi suggesting departure for JFK will be at (local time) 1630 hours, in just under 12 hours from when I'm contributing.
