Yes, it seems that only QF12 diverted (not looking at domestic flights, but all the other main international arrivals this morning appeared to just circle for a short while before landing. QF2 barely waited at all and almost went straight in. Would have expected the fog to be heavier at 5am than...

Interesting. Quite surprising. There's many people I've talked to who say they're not going anywhere near or through the US until the fat orange blob has gone. Will be interesting to see developments over the next couple of years.

Sorry. They're all gone. Att: please mark this thread as closed. Thanks.

What annoys me is that for a number of the VA partners that you can only book via points redemptions instead of also being able to book as a paid ticket when you want to do so, although yes it can be more expensive normally to book via a VA. I would sometimes prefer to book via VA rather than...

Sorry, I'm wrong. I'm sure I got a different fare when adding my kids on a ticket before, but did a check now again and see that isn't the case. Apologies, ignore this post then. VA don't seem to do different fare types for children any more. Unless it could have been a booking I previously did...

I recently discovered an issue with my VA BF account when adding a saved traveller who happens to be a child with a VA FF to a booking. When adding the saved traveller, it charges the ticket for the child as an adult fare rather than the slightly cheaper child fare as desired. The solution...

thanks for that. Yes I found that out from @Xrayspice too. Good to know. Sorry @dcg yes those remaining 2 are still available. Got busy with work and forgot to come back to this post. Will allocate them to you and DM you separately.

@Xrayspice has taken 2 passes. 2 remaining with an expiry of 31st July.

I have 4 X QF general lounge invites that i'm happy to pass on. Don't fly QF as much as other airlines now, so haven't used these up yet. 2 X expire 15th July 2025 2 X expire 31st July 2025 Only transferred them to family members before though, aware this sort of transfer is outside the rules...

Bad luck for the people intended to be on it. I suppose these things happen though.

Anyone know why G-ZBKC has been parked in Sydney for the past week? It flew in on 28th May as BA15. Then the subsequent BA16 got cancelled and it's sitting in Sydney since. Must be some serious mechanical issue to leave it for a week??

What's interesting is it's still got the ADS signal still broadcasting and the pilot has either taken it on a roadtrip after landing or they had an issue when landing, which would be on the news if so. Or maybe the GPS tracker is just giving a bad signal.

They don't which is why the regular services got cancelled. Yesterday had no QF11. Not sure about the day before. 1746483717 And yesterday had no QF2

Saw that QF335 Charter. Assuming that it's the wealthy brethren church charter again. Although OQI is also on the way back on another charter as QF332 too.

Probably the benefit of the A380 over the 787 is that they can more comfortably fly a lot further south if need be. Even if the 787 etops issue is not as big a deal these days. I'd still be concerned if on a 787 flying that is 4 or whatever hours from a close landing site and it has an engine...

Here you go for comparison. Etihad's A380 fleet. A6-APD and APE are both parked and not brought back to service. APE hasn't flown since September 2024 but is still showing normally on FR24. I'm wondering if QF decided to also scrap OQC (which could make sense given its issues and the condition...

No. All the planes in storage for the couple of years they were kept their logos. Only oqe and oqf lost their logos when deregistered. OQC hasn't had any activity since 2021 and only now loses its logo. Unless FR24 has changed their policies on how they show active or inactive planes. It seems a...

Good to know. FR24 didn't do that to them while they were all in storage for COVID. Only now seemed strange.

Interesting. OQC and OQL also have their logo removed on Flightradar, same as the 2 deregistered scrapped ones. Does this mean that QF has decided not to refurbish these 2 and scrap them as well? It contradicts previous statements??
