Brisbane (BNE) Airport - possible weather delays

[JohnK]

Onboard QF563 but things have slowed down a bit. Weather doesn't look to bad.

Came from Gold Coast to BNE, drive was challenging in the stormy weather but now it’s all fine at the airport and no delays showing for my flight ATM.

Why didn't you say hello? Still here. Only 4 flights have pushed back in that time. We're number 2 in queue now.

Why didn't you say hello?

I'm now with Boomy, just when we were speaking of the devil earlier...

I'm now with Boomy, just when we were speaking of the devil earlier...

Might be saying hello again if we don't take off soon.

 

[AIRwin]

Might be saying hello again if we don't take off soon.

My flight has been delayed, if I do get on...

 

[boomy]

Seems I’ve just missed you @JohnK by few minutes.
Spoke too soon and my flight ended up delayed by 20min but not complaining as I got to catch up with @AIRwin.

 

[JohnK]

My flight has been delayed, if I do get on...

Hope you managed to get on.

Not meant to be @boomy. We'll catch up next year.

 

[AIRwin]

Hope you managed to get on.

Last seat on the last flight...

Definitely will be delays this afternoon from and into BNE with a line of severe storms:



@JohnK hope you’re not travelling tonight.

@Melburnian1 will be busy posting tonight

 

[Hvr]

@JohnK must be flying tonight.

 

[QF WP]

As fate would have it - yes, according to the Lounge Meet up thread for March:

Fri 15 MAR 19 BNE QF Domestic J Lounge 17:00-17:45

 

[AIRwin]

A number of flights out of BNE have already been delayed/cancelled...

 

[JohnK]

@Hvr as luck would have it @JohnK is travelling tonight. So far they haven't touched my flight but cancelled most flights around my flight.

Storm was due earlier but delayed to have maximum impact. Hope everyone stays safe.

 

[JohnK]

BNE Airport is now closed. Thunder/lightning around.

 

[I love to travel]

Get comfortable JohnK the radar at 4.50pm local time suggests you are going nowhere. Bucketing down in the CBD

 

[JohnK]

QF547 has just been cancelled. No available flights tonight. If you're not a local accommodation will be provided.

Hold tight. There could be more.

 

[QF WP]

Storm number 1 has passed by, but another cell may be forming out west:

256 km Brisbane (Mt Stapylton) Radar Loop

 

[JohnK]

QF545, QF547, QF549, QF551, QF553 and QF555 all cancelled. For the time being QF563 and QF559 are scheduled to depart.

Weather has cleared. I don't remember anything this bad in the 11 years I've been commuting.

 

[QF WP]

Well, if the operating aircraft can't get to BNE because those flights are cancelled, then it makes sense. So are you on one of the scheduled to depart flights @JohnK?
