flight delays

I have a ticket to Europe via TLV with a 3 hour transit. Someone told me recently that TLV does not allow through-check of bags and forces you to collect and re-check, even if you have no interest in clearing immigration and are on a single ticket. Is that correct?

Hi all I just searched for this one but does not seem to be widely discussed. I have just booked SYD - BLR - BOM all on one ticket with both flights having QF numbers. Has anyone ever done this transfer process? Ie what happens past immigration? Any information is greatly appreciated! Ty

This is quite the story. Imagine sitting in Y for 16 hours only to land back at your point of departure! During Air NZ's flight from AKL to JFK, JFK closed mid-flight due to a fire and the pilots were directed by Air NZ management to fly back to AKL. The pilots tried to suggest diverting to...

SYD airport has been closed amid a huge lightning storm in Sydney today. Several flights are on the ground awaiting the airport reopening, such as flights from CBR and MEL. I'm monitoring the situation as I know someone on one of the flights. They have been stranded on QF1436 CBR-SYD since...

The first flight, a northbound MCY to PPP on Tuesday 31 January 2023 ran late, but so far I can't see any specific online details via FR24 or other sources. I do not know if the B738 was VH-UJK or VH-UJT.

ICN-SYD is TW's first international long-haul route. Probably the definition of 'long haul' is anything above seven and a half or eight hours, so this route ticks that box. I'd never heard of this airline before seeing an article about it a short while back, but it has a fairly lengthy history...

Hello everyone, I am planning to visit the US for the first time in late 2023 or early 2024. If possible, i am also trying to experience ANA's latest J or F seats (Currently only available on flights to /from LAX, ORD and JFK) At this stage, i have no plans to visit NYC, so looking at flying...

Hi AFF family. Long time follower, first time poster here. So apologies in advance for any posting errors. Let me give a quick background before I get to the issue at hand. I've booked a Europe trip for mid next year (using Qantas classic rewards) with the final 2x legs going from Dubai to...

Spotted this on Bloomberg news earlier today: So far a number of airlines have had to make major changes to their operations out of AKL. Some airlines are flying passengers and cargo into AKL then flying back empty on a full tank, just in case. Others have opted to make stopovers at HNL...

I've booked a flight from SYD to DFW (QF) and am looking to transit from DFW to ORD (AA). Both bookings are made through the Qantas website. First leg is due to arrive at 1400 and the second leg is due to depart at 1545. Is this cutting it too close? I haven't been to DFW and unsure how busy...

Today I was flying QF136 from CHC back to Sydney. The flight was scheduled to depart at 16:35 PM and I arrived at the airport around 14:30. I figured I gave myself more than enough time to clear security and NZ emmigration to properly enjoy the QF partner lounge. I was wrong! It took over an...

My son-in-law arrives at AKL from PER at 6am and has a 13 hour layover before his next international flight. Any recommendations on a hotel near the airport that can be booked for day use.

I'm just curious if this is something others have noticed but as Velocity Platinum member for the past 5 years, I tend to be fairly observant on points I earn, as much out of curiosity as anything else. Up until a few months ago, I found that when I flew on a domestic Virgin flight, points and...

From the AFR https://www.afr.com/politics/federal/power-out-across-ukraine-after-latest-russian-barrage-20221124-p5c0uh "Qantas’ domestic cabin crew have overwhelmingly voted in a ballot for industrial action. The result, which threatens to disrupt Christmas travel for millions of...

I'm looking at booking a fare at the moment from Australia via KUL/HKG/LHR to EDI. At this stage I'm looking at a 105 minute transit in KUL, 85 minutes in HKG, and 145 minutes clearing customs and transiting in LHR. I'm not too worried about the obvious choke point in LHR, as both flights are...

Hi fellow FFs My flight with JS, Honolulu to Sydney 0835 was delayed 4 hrs to 1230, which caused me + 1 to miss our connection to Perth with Qantas. When we arrived in Sydney we were told to go to check in with about 30 others who had been on a delayed Q flight from NZ and were in the same...

3+ weeks in Europe just after their summer holidays, driving through a few countries and taking in the sights. That was the plan - but post covid, travel doesn't quite seem to be what it was. Here's my, well, frustrating experience in September 2022. Flew Singapore Airlines from SYD - FRA with...

My son was recently on a Qantas flight from Singapore to Australia that was delayed by around 15hrs and resulted in him having to purchase overnight accommodation in Singapore awaiting the revised departure The fare was purchased on my Amex Reserve card and I was initially going to channel the...

Unfortunately Mondays QF56 LAX - BNE was turned back to LAX 2 hours mid flight due to a passenger medical incident. Passengers bussed to airport hotel overnight and back on busses to Airport to recheck in for 10am flight today. Everyone at boarding gate when screens update to “now 8PM”. 45...

Well, my Oct 2nd Sunday 21.05 flight on QF2 will now leave, hopefully, 10.45am this Monday morning (was originally due to leave at 9.40am). I’m penning this in the Qantas provided Renaissance Hotel at Heathrow which I only found out about when I arrived at the Qantas Lounge. Not particularly...
