Singapore Airlines Delays/Cancellations

[Melburnian1]

SQ228 on Tuesday 7 July is the 1520 hours MEL-SIN that wasn't in the sky until 1715. A388 9V-SKV should arrive at its gate at about 2246 hours, 91 minutes late. This was because its inbound SIN-MEL flight SQ237 had to divert to ADL, meaning a rare sighting of an A380 in that city. It took off from ADL at 1313, arriving MEL at 1458 hours, 238 minutes late on a day that has seen fog in Melbourne.

It’s always good to catch the A380 in ADL, was a lovely day for it too

A couple of short delays don't really bother me, but anything over three or four hours starts affecting hotels, transfers and onward flights. That's when the airline's communication becomes just as important as the delay itself. Keeping passengers updated makes a big difference.
