Given that I posted about various aspects of this trip in other threads I thought it might be worth collating it all together. I was flying for work for a pair of conferences, one in Cambridge and one in Salzburg. Bookings through QF on the DSC deal back in March, legs with both BA and LH.
Even before I got on the flight I had three cancellations of LHR>MUC with BA, shifting it from a 1415 Sunday flight to a 1155 Saturday flight.
No delays on the MEL>SIN flight to start with, but found out on arrival into SIN that my LHR>MUC flight had been cancelled with no replacement. That took about 2hrs in the lounge on the wifi calling QF via Teams to sort out a replacement 0700 flight LHR-MUC. In turn that required me to change my accom to stay at Heathrow on the night before, rather than getting down from Cambridge that morning for the 2pm flight. Ended up getting to Heathrow and taking almost 2hrs to get through security, only to find that the flight was delayed. 0700 flight only took off at 1150. That meant a late arrival into MUC and missing the LH MUC-SZG. Whatever on that end, a 9EUR rail pass fixed that up and i caught the train to Salzburg.
A week later and Lufthansa cancel all flights out of SZG on the day i was supposed to leave, and even with the rail system I wouldn't make my flight to DXB, so all of that then needed rebooking for the next day, and ended up coming home via MUC on the train and then doing MUC-DXB-MEL on Emirates metal with a QF code but only rebooked in economy...
All in all not quite looking forward to the next run in 14 days. Especially as it coincides with a UK rail strike.
