Hope they have enough fuel!

Looks more like ending up at BNE instead of LAX

I'm being facetious.
It's marked as diverting to LAX.

On Wednesday 23 September, QF1, the mid afternoon 1445 hours SYD-SIN-LHR did not take off until 1744 hours. SIN gate arrival should be 2326 hours, 131 minutes late. If past flights are a reasonable (though imperfect) guide, the A380 should have a reduced delay when it arrives in London tomorrow morning UK time. Aircraft us A388 VH-OQB.

QF59 (A333 VH-QPF) is the 1115 hours SYD up to HND airborne at 1230 hours. Suggested gate arrival becomes 2106 hours mid evening Japan time, 56 late.

Notification received via the Qantas app this morning:

Booking reference xx_xx_: Sydney Airport has advised customers may experience longer check-in, baggage processing and security screening times today. If travelling with checked baggage, please arrive earlier than usual and allow extra time to check in bags before your flight. For real-time flight updates, visit Qantas App or qantas.com/flightstatus

Haven’t seen reports of planned industrial action or anything of that nature; is there any intel on the reason for the expected longer processing times, and on if these functions are actually taking longer today - and if so, whether they are causing flight delays?
