flight delays

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...

Hi all. Have checked the threads on ticketing delays at Qantas, am feeling anxious about a booking made last week. Rewards flight Sydney to Melbourne in busy Melbourne Cup period. Sold out now. Shows up in Qantas FF app and Jetstar manage booking. No itinerary or e-ticket received. No points...

Hey Everyone, I finally set foot on a Woolies in a long time after receiving a decent offer from them (basically receive 1900 EDR points for any shop at Woolies). I picked up a couple of items, scanned my EDR card and sure enough on the screen I was advised that 1000 QF points would be...

Hi, just after the collective wisdom of the forum. Have flight back to Australia booked on JQ 8 business max on 30 sept, have to be back pm 2nd October in Brisbane, no ifs ands or buts. Was thinking of booking a return sin / bne flex fare for the same day (1000 cheaper than one way) and...

Long time lurker first time poster - sorry if this is the wrong board. Anyone know what happens if a delayed Qantas domestic leg means you miss your international business class leg? Got 2X Business to Europe on Qatar via QFF. 1 Domestic leg, then ADL-DOH-CDG (all booked in 1 trip, not mix and...

Given that this summer is expected to be he'll in Europe I thought it might be helpful if we post our collective knowledge of strikes, airport shut-downs etc in Europe and the UK this summer. @Admin would a wiki be a good idea?

Nearly three hour delay leaving Cairo means am looking at a likely missed connection in Dubai and an 8 hour wait for the next flight to Melbourne - do Emirates normally provide hotel tooms in those circumstances or am I going to be slumming it in the lounge...?

I recently flew PER-SYD-BNK and the PER VA flight was delayed so we missed the final flight to BNK for the day by 10 minutes. VA put us up in the airport hotel and airport staff said to save the taxi receipt to claim the cost of getting to the hotel. Does anyone know how I would submit this...

Ok story short I bought two tickets on the 23rd of May 2022 for a total amount of $2850+ We specifically paid for Flexi tickets hence ended up paying quite a bit for our economy tickets. (Flexi tickets allow FULL REFUND) Unfortunately due to unforeseen last min changes we have to cancel our...

Has anyone tried a QF to HA (same ticket) transfer? It seems this is possible if booked through a travel agent (or expedia), as both airlines have signed up to through check and baggage connectivity. I would be flying to LAS and the idea of skipping LAX to get there is appealing, and the 5-6...

PK was supposedly to begin a regular timetabled passenger-carrying service from Lahore to Sydney. On Sunday 3 April 2022, SYD's (airport) site shows outbound PK9809 to LHE as 'cancelled'. Apparently PK hasn't yet received CASA permission to fly into (and out of) Oz, so the airline's wish for...

Hi all, Today I received emails regarding re-ticking by Qantas for flights on Emirates Airline. Basically, all the effected flights were booked as Qantas Classic Rewards. below is the text of the email. Information only - No action required Booking reference...

So for my first time flying Rex (from PER to ALH) I was due to leave at 7:10 PM, about an hour after it was due to depart we were informed the flight would be rescheduled to 7:30 AM the following day due to the inbound plane breaking down and having to bring a standby plane into operation...
