flight delays

Hi All, travelling with Vietnam Airlines MEL - SGN - HND in April. Carrier has cancelled the return leg from HND to SGN. Was departing 3:30pm, rebooked on 9:30am flight. Do we have any rights, due to the change we have to change our itinerary significantly. We were returning from Sendai via...

CNS closed from 2000hrs this evening. Closed tomorrow. Potentially longer as TC Jasper meanders along coastline. Hopefully all those up north stay safe. Last flight out appears to have been VA1298 to MEL. A number of cancellations in and out this afternoon. A QLink DHC8-400 direct to BNE...

We have an internal flight booked for our trip to Europe next year. It was interesting that Mrs RB got an email asking her to support action by way of a petition "So far in 2023, there has been 64 days of ATC strikes (12 times more than all of 2022) inhibiting millions of EU citizens' Freedom of...

Does anyone know where Melburnian1 is as I miss his flight delay reports?

I had a flight from Launceston to Melbourne 2 weeks ago and it was delayed by 4-5hrs due to engineering issues We did get $8.00 food vouchers at the airport but they were freely given out Has anyone received any compensation in either cash, points or SC's? I am also VA platinum

Sorry if this has been covered in detail before but I am confused after reading numerous cancellation threads. A few weeks back Qantas cancelled our flight from Melbourne to SIngapore with 2 hours before departure. We were at the airport. We had a Qantas ticket from Melbourne/Singapore/Ko Samui...

Hi to all, I understand it is a topic which has been repeatedly covered here in the past, however I am just seeking a more 'current' update please: Early next year I am flying from SYD to Mexico via LAX. In order to travel 'on the cheap' I have already booked my Australia-LAX return tickets...

My FCO-PER-SYD flight is delayed due to mechanical problems. Now leaving 21 hours later. I’ve been informed I am to submit a claim for incurred hotel and meal expenses. Has anyone been there, done that? What are the thresholds? call centre in Switzerland wasn’t able to prove me any indications.

Hi AFF, new member here As the title suggests, has anyone tried the connection between NY JFK and Melbourne through Dallas Fort Worth? If yes what was your experience? How long did it take to make the connection and what were the steps/checks/lines involved? I have booked a Qantas flight...

Venting here! Back in March, during the double status credits offer, I purchased a rtn J-class fare MEL-CNS via BNE for mid July. The day before outbound travel I receive a call from Qantas saying the aircraft had been downgraded and there was no longer a J-class and that I would be put in...

Hi, I will be departing JFK at 2030 on a weekday evening from terminal 1. What would be a reasonable time to get to the airport without having to stress about having enough time but not sitting round wondering how to kill time after check in? Travelling in J class on Royal Air Maroc, I think...

Does anyone know how to contact Qantas Baggage Services in Terminal 1 at Melbourne Airport directly? I had a bag go missing on an Air Canada flight on 23 June between Montreal and Toronto. Lodged a claim with AC and they found the bag and forwarded it to Melbourne with Qantas handling the last...

Today marks 10 years since the delays/cancellations threads on 'AFF' were commenced. While 'Ask The Pilot' is clearly AFF's number one drawcard with its three million views (deservedly so), the delays and cancellations threads evoke interest, with almost a million views of the Qantas...

Any views on this? I appreciate it will depend on which airline and where the flight is going Is any airline departing australia permitting OLCI yet? My research indicates JQ and VA don’t allow it to any international destination though I can’t confirm that

Does anyone have any information on why QF1 / QF2 was delayed today. I'm due to connect to QF52, on 19/6 but I've been moved to QF52 on 20/6 meaning I'll be a day late. I want to be able to work out if I'm eligible for UK261 compensation.

Friday 9 June 2023 saw VJ85, the scheduled 1930 hours SGN down to SYD (A333 VN-A814) not airborne until 2221 hours, so SYD arrival at gate on Saturday 10 was 132 minutes late at 0932 hours. The returning VN86 (1015 hours is the timetabled pushback) is showing as likely to be off blocks at 1145...

Hi, Looking for some advice please. I was booked using Qantas points last week on 1 June, on AA73, LHR to LAX with a 2 hour connection to AA73 to SYD in F. Got a message that morning it had been delayed by 15 hours. Called AA, they said can’t help. Called Qantas they said all they could do was...

Hi, looking at the cancellations and delays of QF from SYD to MEL today and saw this flight which states it would land at Terminal 5, but this terminal doesn't seem to exist. The flight is also an odd number QF7391. Where is it supposed to be going?

In case anyone was wondering, this is what Qantas provides (at least at Melbourne airport domestic terminal) when your bag doesn’t arrive.
