Qantas has codeshare with TN. I hope we can purchase the direct flights from Qantas.com soon with a QF number, so we can earn status credits!

It is taking off and due to arrive in 12 hours.

Flight tracking could start soon as EK414 is now closed for boarding.

It appear to me that is a measure to add more seats due to payload restrictions and allow more capacity to send stranded Britons and Europeans back:

So it appears there's still options for Aussies to come out from that troubled region for now.

I wonder for people stranded in the Middle East, whether it is possible for Australia to try to send planes to MCT or DMM to evacuate them to safety? https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/australians-stranded-by-iran-war-consider-travel-options-to-leave-middle-east-20260303-p5o6xf.html DMM...

Seems like if you book after 1st March and your flights is still not operating, flexibility terms may not be on your side, you are gambling with Qantas here.

It looks like most premium seats out of Australia over the next couple of days are gone, except going through China. Even SE Asia is a difficulty, potentially due to rerouting from ME3.

If you were travelling on EK417/413 or QR909 on 28 Feb, it is almost impossible for you to be booked onto another flight and avoid staying in Sydney overnight, regardless your destination is not in the Middle East or not. It is simply because of Sydney curfew, and the conflict broke out just...

Lobster!

It appears airlines were unable to find accommodation for stranded passengers in Sydney due to a major event and they are sleeping at Sydney T1 overnight as the result: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-01/middle-east-flight-cancellations-stranded-travellers/106402776

May I ask if any passengers on the diverted VA1/QR8400 - 28 Feb managed to get back to Sydney or they are still stranded in Melbourne?

Going through mainland China avoids most of the troubled airspace, and you can avoid the fuss of clearing immigration and re check going through the US. Plus you get better food and even free hotel stay! Of course going thru Canada would be another great option apart from potential snowstorm.

Or the Middle East in general. I would encourage people to change at Africa for Middle East, and change at Mainland China for Europe.

It appears that QF8765 and QF8766 (EK412/413) to Christchurch are operating despite closure of DXB. It appears they might terminate at Sydney for the next few days. All DXB services are not operating today. I hope all passengers are redirected onto China Eastern and China Southern if they are...

Perhaps they can be rebooked on other airlines to their destination? If they are going to Europe, they can go via China instead?

That'd take 17 hours according to FR24, such a long flight.

All Qatar Airways flights QR840X is now returning to Australia. QR909/28 Feb just declared it will not operate. EY455/28 Feb will not operate. EK413/417 appearing as Gate Closed. Interested to know if QF9 need to make a stop for refuel.

QR8402 and QR989/28 Feb also returned to Tullamarine

QR8400/28 Feb is returning to Wolli Creek due to closure of Middle East airspace. QR8404/28 Feb is returning to Myrtletown. QR909/28 Feb could be cancelled.
