    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    A388 VH-OQK did not depart Sydney on Sunday 25 January, possibly due to it being unable to taxi before the SYD curfew. QF11 has been delayed until an expected pushback at 1345 hours on Monday 26 January, 1200 minutes late. This will also significant delay the Sunday evening scheduled QF12...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    In more on Sunday 25 January 2026, QF11, the 1745 hours SYD-LAX is expected to depart mid evening at 2100 hours. A388 VH-OQK has the task. B789 VH-ZNG is on QF22 from DFW for the long distance to MEL. Given the huge numbers of delays and cancellations there due to snowstorms, it's creditable...

    Jetstar Delays/Cancellations

    On Sunday 25 January 2026, JQ64 from SGN to MEL arrived at gate at 1500 hours, 239 minutes late. B788 VH-VKF then formed JQ7, the 1310 hours MEL-SIN that is sometimes patronised by @dajop . It was airborne at 1654 so arrival tonight in the Lion City at a forecast 2110 hours will be 190...

    Why I find delays/cancellations threads tiresome

    You may not find them of use, @markis10 , but others may, because it can give travellers (once there is a reasonable sample) information as to how punctual and reliable (latter = cancellations) an airline is. For instance, UL is an airline that frequently runs late to and from Australia...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Possibly also due to the snowstorms sweeping over parts of the USA including Texas, the Sunday 26 January QF7 (A388 VH-OQL, the 1405 hours SYD-DFW) took off at 1633 meaning same day gate arrival is likely at 1410 hours, 100 minutes late. QF19 from SYD to MNL (see above) was eventually up up and...

    Prague, Vienna, and a wild A380 late go-around

    For my second visit I walked on Charles Bridge, Prague in late October 2025. It was far more crowded than what your picture shows despite my visit being in so-called 'shoulder season', so perhaps there is merit in travelling to Europe in winter, something I've only done once as I prefer autumn...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Updating posts above, QF79 from MEL to HKG was airborne at 1251 hours on Sunday 26 January so NRT arrival at gate for A333 VH-QPC should be about 2040 hours, an even three hours late. Sister -QPB is on QF61, the scheduled 0920 hours morning BNE-NRT in the sky at 1024 for mooted gate arrival...

    Qantas A380 reliability issues creeping up again?

    On Saturday 24 January 2026, QF7 (1405 hours afternoon long flight from SYD to distant DFW) was cancelled despite A388 VH-OQA and -OQK being in Sydney. As @Flyerqf said in the Qantas Delays/Cancellations thread, he doesn't know if it was an 'aircraft issue'. Naturally, QF8 DFW-SYD on 24...

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    On Sunday 25 January 2026, QF79, the 0925 hours MEL-NRT is expected to depart at 1030 with A333 VH-QPC. A333 VH-QPK is on QF104, the perenially late HNL down to SYD that tonight should be at its gate at about 2045 hours, 85 minutes late.

    Qantas Delays/Cancellations

    Yes I saw that this morning and thought it must be an FR24 mistake, as the aircraft did not divert back to SYD.

    Oman Air joins Oneworld in 2025

    Not true that there are minimal hotels close to T1 NAIA Manila. Grand Westside Hotel in Paranaque is less than 10 minutes from T1 if the Grab/taxi uses the Skyway. It has at least 500 rooms open. Will have 1500 when complete, plus (yet another) casino. Kingsford Hotel is next to GW...

    Scoot Delays/Cancellations

    A TR B789 must have failed somewhere as on Friday 23 January 2026, 9V-OJB arrived there at 0155 hours, 45 minutes late as TR13 from SYD. It then formed TR2, the 0125 hours back down to SYD that was airborne at 0352 hours, arriving Sydney at 1417 hours, 117 minutes late. It is presently...

    Virgin Australia Delays/Cancellations

    On Friday 23 January 2026, VA195, the 1000 hours MEL-NAN (B738 VH-YIB) took off early at 1010 hours. It flew a substantial distance but is returning to MEL. Arrival at gate looks to be about 1655. It seems to have flown above Wollongong on the way back after it commenced to divert, so unclear...

    Aerolopa Website Change

    I agree the new site is grossly deficient compared to the old. As with the BOM and nabtrade, change for change's sake is rarely for the better. This isn't a Luddite-like observation: it's simply 'if it ain't broke...' Before reading this thread, I reluctantly (and probably foolishly) supplied...
