Hi all,

Mates in Brissie and has a ticket to Mackay tonight on Virgin.
When does Brissie close airport?
When does Mackay airport stop receiving flights?
Do you get accom paid for if the flight does not happen?
Paid on Ultimate Amex...anything insurance from that ?

VA621 BNE-MKY is delayed until 21:50 tonight and is scheduled to be operated from Gate 43 by aircraft VH-YWA which is on its way from SYD (ETA 21:23 at Gate 43)
 
Um he has been told pushed back to 2200 depart and arrives 2330 Mackay.....

Amex Ultimate has $200 insurance if cancelled or 4hr+ delay....

No curfew at BNE nor MKY I believe
 
I had a Virgin flight much delayed out of ADL where I would miss my connection in MEL to HBA, the last flight out.

I called them, and was re-booked the next day, and I think $200 travel credit. No accom offered (or asked). I immediately re-booked the Hilton, where had been staying. 15 mins later, on the way there, Virgin called offering me a hotel room. I said I wasn't sure about it (I hadn't heard of it, now where it was); they said, no probs, use it or not, no need to call us.

I stayed with the Hilton, as it was a pretty basic place..
 
Inbound flight has landed in BNE at 21:13
 
Flight has closed and will be departing shortly

If you come accross this situation again, much of this will depend on the reasons for the delay / cancellation. If it is outside the airline's control, not usually an obligation to provide hotel and meals. If it is within the airline's control, they will normally pay (if there are rooms available).

If you have not left home and you are advised of the delay / cancellation - the airline doesn't have to provide accommodation.

Different rules apply in Europe - even if outside the airline's control they owe you a duty of case (food and or accommodation). But no $$ compensation.
