Qantas Delays/Cancellations

[tomlee1986]

Have been watching QF39/40 as we are scheduled to fly in 2/52.
First time yesterday noticed quite a delay - any thoughts @tomlee1986 @Melburnian1 ?

A bit too early to tell as they could swap aircraft and currently it is not the peak season as yet… and safe travels

QF104 (VH-QPK) from Saturday (30 May) is running about 20 hours late, and is now due into Sydney this afternoon (01 June) at 14.50, resulting in an aircraft swap for today's QF81/82 SYD-SIN-SYD to VH-QPG.

As at 1500 AEST on Monday 1 June, in a 'nice' start to winter, a rainy MEL is on single runway operations.

Delays range from minimal to almost an hour, but tonight may be a bigger test, as the BOM is forecasting 'damaging' winds of up to 50kmh.

Due to Typhoon, Qantas Flight QF26/2 Jun has been delayed.
New Departure time 8:05am 3 Jun.
QF25/2 June has now delayed to 3 June.

Departure of this morning’s QF2077 MQL-MEL has been delayed due to fog, and is projected to also delay the subsequent QF2078/2079 MEL-MQL-ME pair. The slightly earlier QF1402 MQL-SYD presumably got out just in time.

On Sunday 7 June, QF7, the 1200 'high noon' SYD up and across to DFW had A388 VH-OQB. The plane arrived in SYD as QF64 (ex JNB) at 1456 hours, only a minute late, and was able to take off at 1736 hours. DFW arrival at gate should be about 1716 hours, 286 minutes late.

Presumably another A380 had failed or was delayed.

The 6 June (ex DFW) QF8 should arrive SYD on Monday 8 at 0822 hours, 87 minutes late with VH-OQC.

Just had 1439 cancel on me while I was packing up in the lounge to head to the gate. Moved to the next flight after stopping at the SYD T3 J lounge desk (they had to sort out an issue before the move was confirmed). A few other people at the desk very unhappy about the flight getting cancelled.
Only the 3rd flight I've had cancelled on me on the day of travel in 22 years of traveling.

I had booked 1437 when I booked this trip, only for the fuel "shortage" capacity cut to hit the following morning.

1439 had be shown as 3 different operating aircraft since I checked in at HND last night (QF60 - QF1439). It appears that a dash 8 went tech and they've been swapping other aircraft around all morning thinking they could fix it for an afternoon flight, only for another aircraft to get a problem with no other aircraft to swap around.
1439 has been showing at VH-84A, VH-QOK and then VH-LQF at different points over the last 14 hours.
