On Thursday 14 November, QF93, the 1040 hours MEL - LAX long flight is delayed until 1225, but the delay has extended beyond this. Same day arrival has become 0745 hours, 95 late. This is due to A388 VH-OQK arriving in SYD on QF8 this morning (ex DFW) at 0616, 11 late and then taking off for MEL as empty ('ferry') flight QF6004 at 0832 for an 0947 hours arrival in the southern capital, due to yesterday's QF35/36 being a smaller A330 aircraft.
(moa999, sorry, I didn't see your ppst above prior to writing this, but my 'out' is that I provided extra information.)
Earlier, A388 VH-OQF arrived in SYD as QF12 (ex LAX) at 0919 hours, 44 late, somewhat later than QF estimated last night. This led to a delay for QF11 this morning, being off blocks 39 behind at 1149 hours, but it's suggested that LAX arrival will only be 14 minuets late as most time on a gate-to-gate basis will be regained.
Just as QF2 was into SYD this morning, QF1, the 1700 hours afternoon SYD - SIN - LHR is cancelled today.
Wednesday 13's redeye overnight from SYD to HND, QF25, did not arrive until 0611 hours, 71 late this morning.
UPDATE: QF93 departed MEL at 1231 with LAX arrival forecast as 0745,95 late. If 'the 11' is held for its JFK connection, it'll be delayed by about half an hour.
