ANOTHER Qantas flight has been delayed due to technical difficulties, leaving 318 passengers in Brisbane 13 hours behind schedule.
Qantas flight QF175 was due to depart Brisbane for Los Angeles at 11am (AEST).
However, due to a suspected electrical fault, the plane now won't take off until midnight.
A spokesman for Qantas said the flight was delayed due to a fault in the indicator wiring in the electrical wing of the Boeing 747.
"We needed to source a part from Sydney and as a result the crew ran out of hours," he said.
"The 318 passengers have been provided accommodation."

Awesome. Fingers crossed it doesn't happen next Tuesday (I've got two connections to make once reaching LAX)!

Cheers,
