Middle East Airspace Diversions/Cancellations

[LondonAussie]

Qantas is operating an additional Sydney to London via Singapore A380 this Saturday. How good is an "operational spare"!

QF331 still has seats available including Classic Plus seats.

Any idea how much they are charging for it?

I guess they got one of EK’s landing slots at LHR?

Departs Sydney at 22.15 and arrives 14.00 on Sunday.

Good timing, I’d take that if it was a regular option over the 6am arrival into London.

Scroo Turner was on TV tonight saying those on the EK flight are all EK passengers so no other repatriation people. Some of his employees are on board.

A few hours ago it was $1700 one way for a saver fare and about $2500 for flex in Y. 164,000 using points. Now flex is all that is left at $3100. Premium economy currently from $4100, Business currently $13,000 and first class $15,500.

OT, but does relate to "traffic" just on water rather than airborne.
I find this guy pretty plugged in to what is happening with shipping.
The map replay during the video is fascinating.

So what traffic are you currently seeing in the Gulf of Hormuz?

It's only ships. From Marine Traffic: https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:-62.8/centery:13.5/zoom:2
