Someone tweeted that the delay to QF36 was because a spare part was needed implying there was an issue with OQA. Either way, there is likely to be a delay to QF93 unless that is being formed by the inbound QF94. Assuming all goes to plan and QF36 does depart at 00.40 this morning, there should...

Looks like there might have been an issue with the aircraft as the flight is now cancelled. This will possibly also affect the return flight QF36. Re-accommodating all of those pax is going to be a tricky affair given how full other flights are.

There appears to be a couple of disruptions of the A330 fleet today. QF82 is being operated by the delayed QF51 ex-BNE, which only departed after 6pm as it arrived very late from HKG on QF98 (which itself was massively late because QPF had to return to MEL yesterday afternoon operating QF29)...

QF108 PEK-SYD (VH-EBQ) from yesterday night (17 May) will depart today (18 May) at 20.45, 21 hours late and is due into Sydney tomorrow morning at 10.20 instead of the scheduled 13.20 today.

It’s now almost 1am in London, I am guessing QF2 won’t be leaving tonight which means another SIN-SYD flight will be disrupted this evening leaving QF82 as the only one which will be operating on schedule. QF84 has been rescheduled to an unearthly departure of 03.30 tomorrow morning due to the...

Lol... sorry, I do apologise. That was meant to be a little bit tongue in cheek. The strange thing about the water bottles is that on some flights, even when they've had glasses of water for PDB on the tray, they've asked if I would prefer a bottle instead. I guess that saves them having to...

Were you given any butter with the bread? Or has that been enhanced away too?

Hi everyone Hope you’re all well. I was about to make a booking for the QF84 from SIN to SYD on 06 Feb 19. However, I noticed that there is no corresponding flight from SYD-SIN that would form this flight. I don’t know if it would make sense for them to ferry an aircraft to SIN just for this...

It's not entirely clear. There are actually two toilets in front of PE, one of them seems to be for Business Class, the other is probably for PE as the amenities in both are different (Business has the Acca Kappa amenities, the PE/Y ones appear to have amenities from another brand). However...

Before this round of updates, it already had the new UI and the content is exactly the same as it is in the A333, just with the older screen. If the question is whether this update included new IFE hardware then I'd wager a guess that dollars and cents won. Happy to be proven wrong if that is...

Tonight's QF467, the 1930 departure from SYD to MEL, appears to be returning to SYD. The offending aircraft, VH-EBD, had a hydraulic incident earlier in the week operating from SYD to PER and had to return as well.

QF430, the 12.00 service from MEL-SYD, was cancelled approximately 20 minutes before departure today as EBM was unserviceable. I was lucky and got on the 12.30 service, but I'm not sure whether they managed to find enough vacant seats on the remaining 737 services for the rest of today to...

I had the pleasure of taking the PER-SIN leg of this rotation last year and after 2 or so hours on a flight that was absolutely chockers, I could picture crew and passengers going a bit nutty. It is really cramped and generally, a very uncomfortable experience for an international trip.

Not that I'm finding excuses for QF but I'm wondering if it is possible the galleys in the 737 just aren't set up for the more involved international meal service, which then means things just take longer because there isn't as much room to move around in and to place things for the crew?

My memory may be failing me, but they've never actually officially announced any further reconfiguration of some of the A332 fleet. The supposed reconfiguration of some -200s is (for now anyway) a rumour that's floating around in various forums. Of course, we hope they would see some sense and...

Hi ozbeachbabe Thanks ever so much for the information. For the benefit of other members, SYD have advised that the ground handler for MH are Toll Dnata and have provided a phone number - 1800 452 308 (for anyone who may need this in future). They do not have the number for a duty manager at...

Hi guys Happy new year! I unfortunately started 2017 off by losing my pair of earphones onboard MH123 arriving into Sydney on 01 January. Staff on the MAB hotline have advised me to contact Sydney Airport's Lost and Found, but the airport's Lost and Found hotline seems to refer me back to the...

Of course, but then these birds would then not be economical to run domestically. One of the objectives of the refurb must have been something along the lines of in case of a slowdown in either market, we can redeploy these birds either way without stumping up for another reconfiguration. That...

I am guessing that while the 332s are meant to have the longer range of the two (332/333), their smaller cabin floor area means the airline has much less flexibility with configuring them. Creating a configuration for longer haul flights would mean they would be far too un-dense for domestic...

While it might sound like bad planning, is it possible that they might be exploring a different configuration for these two A330-200s? Although if I read deeper into the news release, it is not indicated anywhere that these flights will operate with the Business Suites...
