B773ER A7-BAK as VA16, the scheduled 0140 hours Sunday 13 July DOH to BNE took off at 0236 hours so gate arrival should be very late tonight at 2325 hours, 40 late.

On Sunday 13 July 2025, the overnight delayed QF63 (scheduled 0930 hours Saturday 12 SYD-JNB) became A388 VH-OQI), taking off at 0818 hours. JNB gate arrival should be 1418 hours on Sunday, 1318 minutes late.

The Saturday 12 July 2025 QF29 (1020 hours MEL-HKG, A333 VH_QPD) took off with a longer delay than earlier predicted, at 1626 hours. HKG gate arrival is forecast for 2328 local time late tonight, 393 minutes late. I'm unsure if QF30 returning will form your QF29 on Sunday 13. This doesn't...

While it may have no bearing on your flight - QFi can swap aircraft around - on Saturday 12 July 2025, QF29, the timetabled 1020 hours MEL-HKG is estimated to depart at 1425 this afternoon. Aircraft A333 VH-QPD had overnight operated QF80 from NRT down to MEL, arriving at gate at 0921 hours...

This apparently was A388 VH-OQH that has boarded some passengers as the 0930 hours QF63 SYD-JNB on Saturday 12 July 2025. The flight has been rescheduled to 0645 hours tomorrow, meaning a super early start for passengers who (if they require) have been accommodated in Sydney (Airport?) hotels...

Yes that's what the SMH article states.

On balance, class actions - which appear to have originated in (you guessed it, the USA) are not the magic pudding some believe they are. The Black Saturday bushfires class action in Victoria incurred an incredible A$60 million in legal costs. Barristers and solicitors tend to be the real -...

The SYD and MEL to/from HKG routes are experiencing a fair number of delays most weeks. On Friday 11 July 2025, A333 VH_QPJ on QF128 from HKG to SYD arrived at 0837 hours, 112 minutes late. It is returning to Hong Kong as QF127, with this scheduled 1020 hours flight taking off at 1223 for...

Provided it uses the refurbished A333s that are 1-2-1 in J, it's fine. At present on occasion these are being replaced by A333s with a strange layout in J of 2-2-2 but with the berth/bunk at the window at a higher level than the aisle one IIRC. Also no IFE on these unrefurbished ones...

In more on Thursday 10 July 2025, QF19, the lunchtime 1225 hours SYD-MNL that's meant to be A332 VH-EBK is expected to depart tonight at 2150, 565 minutes late. Perhaps optimistically, the evening 2035 hours MNL-SYD QF20 is forecast to depart Philippines at 0535 hours. An uncomfortable...

On Thursday 10 July 2025, QF127 (1020 hours SYD-HKG, A333 VH-QPC) is expected to depart 50 late at 1110 hours. A388 VH-OQB is rostered for QF63 that should depart 90 minutes behind schedule at 1100 hours. This plane arrived 59 minutes late at 0829 this morning as QF12 from LAX, so the delay is...

No, but the return flight QF82 arrived on Wednesday 9 July in SYD at 1230 hours, 365 minutes late. 1752038017 Yes, my apologies. Will correct.

On Wednesday 9 July 2025, QF30 from HKG to MEL arrived at its gate at 0751 hours, 66 minutes late with A333 VH_QPB. QF29 today (VH-QPJ) is worse, as this 1020 hours scheduled flight ex MEL was airborne at 1221 hours with gate arrival forecast for 1929 hours, 94 behind in HKG. B789 VH-ZNK on...

Tuesday 8 July 2025 sees the 1020 hours SYD-SIN (QF81, A388 VH_OQJ) delayed to an expected 1815 hours early evening pushback. This will be particularly teething for the elderly and those with small children travelling back on QF82 that at this stage "should" depart Singapore at 0205 hours for...

On Monday 7 July 2025, QF43, the 1620 hours afternoon SYD-DPS in Indonesia flight that was to have been operated by A332 VH-EBM has been delayed overnight to a forecast 0700 hours early morning pushback on Tuesday 8. Similarly, the 1750 hours MEL-DPS QF45 rostered for B738 VH-XZH is supposedly...

On Sunday 6 July 2025, JQ7, the 1205 hours MEL-SIN is supposedly departing at 2000 hours this evening. It could be VH-VKG that arrived from SIN in MEL at 0631 this morning,l 16 minutes late as JQ8.

I endorse recommendations for Eastern Europe, especially Poland. Polite citizens, good infrastructure including an excellent rail network with comfortable and spotless trains that generally run on schedule on well maintained track, 3.5-4 star hotels that offer excellent value for money...

Dry airlines are on my 'no fly' list, despite sometimes attractive fares.

On Saturday 5 June 2025, QF19 (1225 hours lunchtime SYD-MNL) did not take off until 1404 hours despite A332 VH-EBC having been in Sydney since 0606 that morning. MNL arrival became 64 minutes late at 1954 hours, with QF20 airborne for the return journey at 2250 hours, arriving SYD on Sunday 6...

Wednesday 2 July's QF9 (evening 1835 hours PER_LHR) is expected to depart at 1900 hours local time on Thursday 3, while the latter date's QF9 has been cancelled. If there were say 190 passengers booked on each, they won't fit into one (delayed) flight. This will have repercussions for QF10...
