On Wednesday 14 January 2026, A333 VH-QPE arrived ex SYD in HND as QF25 at 0518 hours, seven minutes early, but the return daytime flight QF26 (the scheduled 0655 hours) is expected to not depart until 0850 hours Japanese time.

Actually, the media has discussed at some length who has access to the CL et al. It made headlines. Public servants can either read these articles or additionally, receive daily media clippings of interest to departments and agencies. Upgrades are sometimes reported by politicians if they...

You clearly don't understand politics. Politicians are obsessed with maintaining their CL et al memberships. They want to be away from the hoi polloi, and CLs and similar give them the recognition and status they crave, even though many politicians (apart from senior office bearers) would be...

I'll be unlikely to watch. I agree with @frodo and @ANstar. Cahill creates mountains out of molehills, and while he can't help his voice, very subjectively (and admittedly perhaps unfairly) I find it annoying. I've watched a few of his videos in the past (not this one) and haven't learnt a...

In more on Tuesday 13 January, QF29, the 1105 hours A333 from MEL to HKG has been cancelled., as is QF30, the overnight return. @tomlee1986 , I don't know why. A333 VH-QPL on the HNL down to SYD QF104 is expected to arrive at gate tonight at 1907 hours, 47 late. Monday 12's QF1 (1615 hours...

On Tuesday 13 January, QF12 from LAX to SYD (A388 VH-OQI) should arrive at gate at 0935 hours, 130 minutes late.

Yes, while I haven't been 'surprised' given the existence of the CL et al, at face value it would seem that these 2016 regulations are being sometimes ignored: (the dispensations granted or refused are publicised in regular reports to Federal Parliament): Sydney Airport Curfew (Dispensation)...

On Monday 12 February 2026, TK174 arrived ex KUL in SYD at 2017 hours, 57 minutes late. As at 2224 AEDT, A359 TC-LGM had only just departed as TK175, the timetabled 2115 hours back to KUL and on to IST, so still had to taxi in Sydney.

QF11 tonight is formed by QF12 - see previous post. 'The 11' (scheduled out of SYD at 1745 for LAX) was going to push back at 2130 but this was put back to 2200 and now '2230' hours. Not a good sign, though quite often aircraft receive a dispensation allowing departure later than the 2300...

Monday 12 January 2026 sees TR13, the evening scheduled 2005 hours SYD up to SIN with B789 9V-OJH having become airborne at 2154 hours with gate arrival on Tuesday 13 estimated as 0232 hours, 82 late.

A388 VH-OQH that arrived in SYD as QF12 at 1905 hours on Monday 12 January instead of the timetabled 0725 hours is forming QF11, the 1745 hours back to LAX. This was to depart at 2130 but that's been put back to a 2200 hours forecast. For the sake of passengers (both ways!), let's hope it gets...

On Monday 12 January 2026, SQ208, the 1925 hours MEL-SIN (A359 9M-SMD) took off at 2037 hours so Tuesday 13 arrival should be at 0100 local time, 45 minutes late. SQ207 had arrived in MEL at 1909 hours, 59 late, so a quick turnaround. I always wonder in such circumstances how well an aircraft...

Even though it's winter in UK and Europe and hence for those locations 'low season', not all passengers would be heading there. International air travel into and out of Australia sees well loaded aircraft for most airlines, so if an A380 doesn't operate how does an airline easily find c.450...

It's explained in a bit more detail in the 'Qantas Delays/Cancellations' thread on AFF, but this morning's QF12 A380 arrival will be about 700 minutes late - almost 12 hours late - arriving at its Sydney gate at around 1900 this evening. Tomorrow's arrival is expected to be almost two and a...

Not only is the 10 January LAX-departing QF12 delayed by about 697 minutes into SYD tonight (Monday 12 January) but the scheduled 11 January QF12 departure from LAX at 2125 hours is forecast to depart at 2345, 140 minutes late. QFi is claiming it will land at 0945 hours tomorrow in Sydney, so...

Also on Monday 12 January 2026, QF63, the 0930 hours SYD-JNB (A388 VH-OQB) did not take off until 1106 hours. Expected gate arrival is 1546, 46 late. 'The 63', its opposite number should arrive this afternoon in SYD at about 1548 hours, 78 minutes tardy. B789 VH-ZNN arrived AKL (ex SYD) as the...

The overnight delayed QF12 took off from LAX with A388 VH-OQH at 1005 hours on Sunday 11 January, with gate arrival in SYD on Monday 12 estimated as 1902 hours, 697 minutes late. Sister -OQB arrived SYD this morning at 0746 hours, 51 minutes late as QF8 from distant DFW. Another A380, -OQK is...

On Saturday 10 January, QR908, the 2040 hours DOH-SYD, did not take off until 2213 hours. Sunday 11 sees gate arrival at about 1945 hours, 55 late for A388 A7-APH. Many aircraft arriving are in a holding pattern.

If I may venture briefly off topic (as thread is about QFi's A380s), a problem with the A330s is that QFi is operating to too many destinations, with some not daily. I assume maintenance ability (and parts' ready availability) at these 'outstations' varies from excellent to only passable when...

@vhojm 's post was prescient. On Sunday 11 January 2026, A388 VH-OQK as QF63 SYD-JNB (the 0930 hours) was still taxiing at 1113 AEDT.
