    Mel - DXB - Rome: Forced 20 HR Layover in DXB. Possible Issue?

    Thank you for your reply. That does clarifies it for me. I will take your advice about the paperwork for immigration. I would have much preferred we just had the original 3 hour transit through Dubai! We don’t always get what we want.

    Mel - DXB - Rome: Forced 20 HR Layover in DXB. Possible Issue?

    Hi, am mostly a lurker but I am still hoping someone on here may be able to advise if the following will be a problem for us. Husband and I are heading to Rome via Dubai in early Aug. We booked via Qantas but it’s a code share and flying on Emirates metal. Our connecting flight from Dubai to...

    QF2 out of Dubai cancelled due to lightning strike.

    Further updates on this: 1. {full disclosure} Apparently, there were a couple of QF staff in Dubai when this happened, I have since found out. Husband said the queue was impossibly long - he saw this as he was heading to the gate. A full flight of upset people would have been terrible for them...

    QF2 out of Dubai cancelled due to lightning strike.

    Husband home safe and sound...that's the good part. No luggage arrived - he expects it tomorrow. Was offloaded so the plane could take the QF1 pax to London. Even though they knew this was happening nothing was done to rebook people. They were told to go to the lounge to get rebooked in other...

    QF2 out of Dubai cancelled due to lightning strike.

    That was an interesting read! What has happened to Qantas? When I was a WP I was treated like royalty. Sad to see the decline of a once great airline, at least from the FF prospective. We are going for status in 2018 as I remember the perks were so good. Is it time to jump ship?

    QF2 out of Dubai cancelled due to lightning strike.

    I think that bird has flown, unfortunately...My hubby doesn't fly that much and historically I have been the one with status and done all the negotiating for this type of thing. I don't know if he made a fuss at the gate or not so will have to wait to see what happened. I don't think there was...

    QF2 out of Dubai cancelled due to lightning strike.

    Thank you for that info...will get him to do that for the status credits. The fare was paid for by work so they wil get any cash difference and fair enough. We would just like him to get the SC for the original routing for status.

    QF2 out of Dubai cancelled due to lightning strike.

    Yes, he's probably already in the air now so will have to wait until the morning to see if he spoke to anyone. I think it was the last flight via Dubai so no other aircraft available. It was that flight or a 3 days wait apparently...

    QF2 out of Dubai cancelled due to lightning strike.

    My poor husband has just called to say his flight QF2 to Sydney has even cancelled due to a lightning strike. Dubai airport in chaos. He has been put on QF flight direct to Melbourne but has been given an economy seat when he was originally booked in Business. While he is happy to get home...

    New to the Forum but not to FF - Saying Hello

    I joined a couple of weeks ago and have had a bit of a lurk to get the feel of the place. So now feel ready to jump in and contribute, although with the wealth of knowledge in here I doubt I have any pearls that you don't already know! Currently, I'm just a lowly Bronze in Qantas FF but was a...
