Canberra - Sydney Weather Question

[somebol]

Tomorrow I am on QF1468 cbr-syd departing 09:55 connecting to SQ252 @13:55 (separate pnrs).

Weather forecast for both cbr and syd are not looking good.

syd

Cloudy. Very high (95%) chance of showers, most likely in the morning and afternoon. Winds northeasterly 20 to 30 km/h tending easterly 15 to 20 km/h in the evening.

cbr

Cloudy. Very high (95%) chance of showers, most likely in the morning and afternoon. The chance of a thunderstorm in the morning and afternoon. Light winds becoming easterly 15 to 20 km/h in the early afternoon then becoming light in the evening.

What are the chances my cbr-syd flight to be delayed / cancelled.

Should I just catch the bus tomorrow morning?

Is the flight in the morning your first flight on that PNR and you’d also loose the return flight?

Should I just catch the bus tomorrow morning?

I would. It's really only the first flight of the day you can count on.

How’s the 0800 bus loading? If there are plenty of seats, could you decide in the morning after checking with the airline, flight aware etc?

If you check flightaware later tonight, you can check where your plane is to see if it is in CBR.

0800 bus is sold out.
I booked the 0900 bus as backup, should still reach syd by 12:15

I will check flight aware tomorrow and make a call at 8. Leave for jolimont or airport

The inbound plane information is still not available on flight aware. Not looking good

When you look at your flight info on FlightAware, do you see the tab ‘where is my flight now’? When I looked yesterday it was showing only one VA flt cancelled for the afternoon SYD-CBR.
It looks like a normal overcast CBR day today, with rain coming. I wouldn’t be giving up hope yet.

Care to say what the flt number is? Is it 2468? Flightaware says that is on schedule. And, that it is inbound in 17 mins to CBR.

QF1468

Got to the airport early but couldn’t get on the 8:30 flight which had seats free but blocked due to weight issues.

1468 still has no inbound tracking. But suddenly 2468 shows up on flight aware with the same schedule and inbound in 15 mins

 

[get me outta here]

Yep, same flight. Congrats, you made it. Now you can relax and enjoy the trip.

Can you get a credit note on the bus fare?

 

[somebol]

No, it’s non refundable

Everything went smoothly. Enjoying a pre departure beer in the sq lounge

I will say last night as I went to bed, about 9ish, I heard quite a few planes flying around, waiting to land. Which is very unusual, unusual enough to check the BOM to see what the weather was like.

I see them in the morning, circling, waiting for the 6am curfew to finish but again, dont hear them usually.

Glad youre now relaxing in the lounge and enjoy!
