    EU261 Claim with Ryanair - successful!

    Had a BOR-BGY 9pm flight blow out to a 1am (next day) departure and thus 2:30 am arrival.

    JQ flight "Not available" vs "Sold out "

    Hi all, does anyone know what is meant when a flight is "not available" vs "Sold out'? I'm booked on JQ7 but haven't received any cancellation notification. Also noting that the booking page will list flight as "Sold out" too if fully booked. Any thoughts?

    The practice of cancelling ticketed flights when flights delayed or cancelled.

    Airlines are not only about aircraft, they are about the movement of people from place to place, and often to/from international destinations. So regardless of the reason for delays and cancellations, it is the management of stranded and displaced passengers that is important. Jetstar's B787...

    We're looking at a family trip to Vietnam and the options on the QF site seem to be: - Book with Jetstar - Book with Qantas on the same flight but with a QF number As far as I can tell the only difference is that we will earn points and SC, but not too bothered about that.
