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...

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.

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

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...

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...

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...

Your words above are a classic example as to how airlines hold all the aces with increasingly devalued or time-limited FF schemes, not you and I. My comment doesn't always apply to those who travel for business or are government employees able to retain FF points for their own use, but for...

Interestingly, in FY 2008, almost 30,000 Japanese and 23,000 Taiwanese visited Palau. By FY 2024, this respectively had fallen to under 7,000 and under 13,000. South Korean arrivals have dropped from above 14,00 to just 860 over the same 16 year period. In contrast, mainland China arrivals...
