    Ask The Pilot

    The other thing I thought was a bit unusual was the Bamboo airlines flight had a pilot flying and pilot monitoring sitting in the two seats, with the pilot in command sitting in the jump seat. It doesnt say anything about being a training flight, so it seems wierd having the most senior pilot...

    Qantas Project Sunrise goes ahead, 12 new A350-1000s ordered

    I'm pretty sure there is only 3 flights which utilise the shoulder period for only 6 months of the year (Northern Summer). These being QF2, the British Airways flight from London & a Singapore Airlines flight.

    Qantas Project Sunrise goes ahead, 12 new A350-1000s ordered

    I believe that once Western Sydney airport opens the 5am-6am slots at Sydney will be cancelled as the curfew will become a hard 6am curfew with no landings before then. On the basis that WSI will be 24 hours and if you want to land before 6am you can do it there.

    Ask The Pilot

    Does the fact that this happened twice in a relatively small space of time highlight how the notification procedure (via NOTAMs and ATIS) is inadequate or should the pilots/airline of done better? I believe you've mentioned in the past that it wasn't unusual to receive dozens (hundreds) of...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    I live near the airport and the worst of the storms didn't hit till after 5pm, so QF164 would've landed whilst the weather was still clear. QF 146 from Auckland entered a hold off the coast at about 630pm which was when the storms where at their worst. It looks like it held for a while before...

    Classic upgrade rewards and re-pricing CR tickets

    I'd potentially not mention any of the other changes to the booking as it's irrelevant to the situation. Simply state that you received a classic points upgrade, you've had to change the flight and as such the upgrade has been cancelled, as its more then 24 hours before the flight state that...

    Classic upgrade rewards and re-pricing CR tickets

    My understanding is that as the upgrade has been cancelled more then 24 hours in advance, the 15k points fee should be refunded. I once had to do this (but for LHR-SYD) and had to cancel 30 hours in advance, it took a number of phone calls to the call centre and in the end needed an agent from...

    Minimum connection time LHR after QF9 to BA flights

    Other thing to note which is in your favour is that QF9 arrives so early. It is the first flight of the morning that doesnt arrive at T5, the next flight arriving at T3 is 30 mins after QF9, so as long as everything is ontime you'll make it as it shouldn't be busy yet if you stay airside.

    VH-OQB is currently returning to Sydney from Abu Dhabi. Not sure if it's a swap or an extra plane returning to service for summer.

    My statement was also dated 5 October. I didn't receive points as per usual and messaged them via live chat. I got a response a few hours later saying points for this statement cycle have been delayed but will post. Sometime around the time this message sent the points posted. Not sure if it was...

    EC261 and UK261 Discussion: Successes and Failures

    Ive had snow at heathrow delay my flight overnight. Applied for EU261 and was denied as it was weather outside their control. They were however prompt in paying for another night at the hotel and meals. I think in your case a delayed incoming flight is not considered extraordinary...
