flight delays

I had a rather unusual delay yesterday on QF52 from Singapore to Brisbane. The cause of the delay... tropical fish. We boarded on time but then sat at the gate for nearly an hour while the flight crew sorted out a "cargo issue". The captain later explained the full reason for the delay...

Mrs AS is on QF12 JFK-LAX. Flight has been delayed 1 hour, meaning arrival to LAX will be 10pm. This means she will miss her connecting QF94 LAX-MEL (departing 10.10pm). What will QF do for her? I would hope a hotel at the least, given how late at night it is.

Evidenced by how when I looked to see if I'd posted a previous delay, I could not locate one, JL has an excellent punctuality record. However on Saturday 17 June, JL771, the Friday 16 1925 hours NRT - SYD that did not take off until 2138 should arrive at 0742 hours, 92 minutes late with B789...

All was going so well ... we landed in Dubai a mere 20 mins late at 7.20am this morning and boarded on time for a 9.05am departure. (Having had the bonus of an upgrade to F) Sadly it was not to be and a fault developed on pre flight checks that has yet to be fixed ... local time now 12.30pm and...

I'm on the significantly delayed QF12, which is meant to leave at 10:30pm on Apr 9, but has now been rescheduled for 8:45am the next day (a delay of about 10 hours). I've never been in this situation with QF, so I'm very interested to see the service recovery for this. Got notified via SMS (and...

Hi all, There was a thread about 4 years ago about QF compensation for delayed flights; with the recent QF2 Dubai-Sydney delay (up to 72 hours for some) over the new year more recently QF1 SYD-LHR on March 2 being delayed by 21 hours, I was wondering if anyone here was on one of those flights...

Hi, My wife and I recently flew Victoria - Vancouver - Sydney in J Class. The Victoria to Vancouver leg was Air Canada economy (dash-8) but our bags were tagged priority and our booking was on the one PNR and bags checked through to Sydney. When we arrived in Sydney our oversized ski bag...

On Friday 4 November 2016, SH828, the 1630 MEB - WMB took off at 1731; arrival is suggested as 67 minutes late at 1817. While these Sharp Airlines flights also go to Portland which is further from Melbourne, it is not worthwhile to fly between Melbourne and Warrnambool when the V/Line train...

3K 133 SIN-PER original schedule 02:20 - 07:30 about twelve hours (!) ahead of time I get a SMS saying re-scheduled to 03:40. At boarding the captain quickly mentions reason was weather at Perth arrival. Actual arrival has light smoke haze. Am I gullible enough to accept that as a reason...

On Friday 7 October 2016, JD461, a newish entrant to the skies from TAO to MEL should arrive at around the 1104 mark, 99 minutes behind time. It is operated by A332 B-8549. I had to look Qingdao up to discover if one can rely on Wiki that it has a population in Greater Qingdao of at least nine...

how often do flights departing Melbourne (to Sydney) get delayed? is it very regular, or can I be a little confident that we will leave on time or close to? feeling a tad nervous about a connecting flight in Sydney.

Dear all especially Etihad Help I was on EY 52 GVA -AUH last Friday night . Long story short we were deplaned and delayed about 20 hours. Travel Insurance need a letter from the airline stating reason for delay and new flight times etc. Any particular email I should aim my request to or is...
