Hi Guys,
My VA flight DPS - PER was cancelled today due to operational reasons. However, their website is showing the flight as 'landed'. What is the protocol on this? I think it is misleading not to update the status, given it was cancelled 2 hours before the scheduled departure time. Do you think they have not updated it to keep good on time running stats?
Waiting in line to find out if we are going to be rebooked.. But it looks like we may be forced to go DPS-MEL-PER. So much for the quick girls weekend!

Hey MAD, good to see you back!

With all the weather around QLD and NSW, there may be a bit of delay with updates considering the mess with the rest of the network.

It's funny that during the Christmas break that there was a thread about a flight with 1 couple/family onboard a VA flight from PER to DPS.

Hope it works out for yoy
 
Hi Mannej :)
thanks, I have been lurking. Yes, we feel quite fortunate in comparison to East Coast travellers. Just looked at the list of cancelled flights on VA website - 40+ and we aren't even on there. Oh well.. We did get to spend the arvo drinking out of coconuts, laying on sun lounges in our bikinis, so not all bad..
 
Just in case anyone wanted to know the outcome.
VA offered me a flight DPS - MEL - SYD - PER and my girlfriend DPS - SYD - PER with a 12 hour layover in SYD. No VA staff available, only subcontractor ground staff, so they said they couldn't rebook us to the direct flight today, though I noted the higher fare classes are still for sale online. We opted to head to a hotel and booked an AirAsia flight this morning - we'll probably still be home earlier, but at our own expense. I'm bemused as to why VA would be throwing Perth pax into the mess with all the stranded pax already in Sydney.. Looking at the list of cancelled flights...
 
I would have thought it would make more sense to put you on the direct flight regardless of fare buckets.

That is unless they plan not to operate it should the aircraft be needed elsewhere in the network.
