    Would you book a 20 hour non-stop flight?

    Personally I would prefer a direct flight to London. I find getting off at Dubai, going through security again and hanging around for a couple of hours more of a pain than a welcome break. At least to have the option of a straight through flight would be a great improvement imho.

    QF9 sat 29/4 Melbourne to Heathrow - long delay in Dubai

    Hello JB747 I used the same phraseology that the pilot used when he came to explain to us what was going on. You are quite right though the cabin crew used the expression "tech crew" and it seemed very logical to me as I knew exactly who they meant although had now idea how many or technical...

    Hello Melburnian1 It's a new tech and flight deck crew only (i.e. Pilots x2 and engineers etc) at this stage - apparently the cabin crew are within their hours. I couldn't honestly tell you what flight the new crew they were due to be on but I know they were called in because of the delay! I...

    QF9 sat 29/4 Melbourne to Heathrow - long delay in Dubai

    I'm right above the gate so yes I can confirm water has been available from the get go and meal vouchers have been handed out twice to all passengers. I've been really impressed with the captains handling of the situation and he and the cabin crew have been downstairs at the gate for almost the...

    QF9 sat 29/4 Melbourne to Heathrow - long delay in Dubai

    We were on board for about 2 hours and then the temperature was getting too high in the back of the plane - even up front it was very warm. The problem is connected to cabin pressure and air conditioning I believe and seems to be a leaky valve. Anyway ... They deplaned us all and carried on...
