Hmmm, late inbound QF107, Departed SYD 2¼ hours late and LAX 53 minutes late, but scheduled into JFK 70 minutes behind schedule.

QF10late Currently estimated to depart ¾ hour late:
The reason for the late departure of QF107 (and most other flights that day) was lightning closing the ramp. QF149 was even further delayed as it had a mechanical problem found just as boarding was ready to commence after the ramp opened after the lighting. But of course any delays for other LAX flights can be resolved during the many hours they sit on the ground, but QF107 does not get that luxury.

The ramp was closed from around 10:30am for at least an hour.

My QF19 was delayed by about 75 mins. At least I was able to while away the delay in the FLounge while watching the blue flashing lights around the ramp area.
 
Well we must have made up for an extraordinary amount of time enroute as we landed in SYD only 5 mins behind schedule! But we wasted some time making a v convoluted taxi as an SQ A380 had mechanical problems and was stuck on a major taxiway as a result.

Is it 'an' A380 or 'the' A380. Do they have a second one yet :?:

I may be at the T3 QP earlier than 12, perhaps 11. It depends when I finish. (I'll be heading over to T1 for a *Class flight back to MEL)

Keep in touch ...

It is shame we will miss each other by a couple of hours. We may meet on the taxiway or I can go across to T2 Qantas Lounge and wave to you sitting in the T1 Qantas F Lounge. :p

And yes your presumption is right. I have played 4 games in the last 5 days and will most likely play Thursday, Friday and Saturday this week.

Sorry I haven't replied to your PM on FT. I have been too busy trying to cure my ailing golf game.

I think drinks and dinner around 8pm on Saturday night would be great if you are still interested. I am not too sure where I will be staying but I think there are a few nice restaurants around the Crown Casino or Canberra Centre.
