    Cathay Pacific Delays/Cancellations

    CX110 SYD-HKG had quite the adventure yesterday. Left SYD at 0845 and had to divert to CNS landing at 1245. Left CNS at 1630 and arrived MNL 1945 local time which I assume was due to the crew timing out. Left MNL at 2226 before finally arriving in HKG at 0004, a good 9 hours behind schedule...

    Hobart in talks with SQ and CX for direct flights

    Whether or not SQ or CX launch flights to HBA depends on how deep the Tasmanian government's pockets are. The following quotes from the article really summarises the key challenges: ["Independent aviation analyst Brendan Sobie of Sobie Aviation said Hobart and Tasmania are attractive...

    Emirates Delays/Cancellations

    Indeed, it would've been more impressive had they managed to go via BNE instead and pick up the CHC originating passengers on EK413 who had divert there. Although some of them may have been accomodated on the EK435 service out of BNE. Good to see the authorities using common sense and granting...

    Emirates Delays/Cancellations

    Looks like the incoming EK414 will indeed do the outbound EK413 (EK414 landed at gate 10 with EK413 also departing out of gate 10). Interestingly, Emirates website has EK413 departing SYD at 23:45 doing a diversion and arriving into MEL at 1:10 with a 2:55 departure out to DXB. Must be short...

    Qatar Airways Delays/Cancellations

    Looking at FlightAware, it was all lined up for 34L and then aborted the landing. Guess the QR908 pax will be put on VA services, QR's besty in Oz !

    Emirates Delays/Cancellations

    I wonder if they could do a record turnaround and get the incoming EK414 to do the EK413 service rather than its usual EK415. EK414 lands at 22:07 though !

    Emirates Delays/Cancellations

    The crew would've only been flying the CHC-SYD leg, so they might've been ok?

    Qatar Airways Delays/Cancellations

    Due to the storms in SYD tonight, the incoming QR908 has diverted to BNE. Needless to say the outbound QR909 will be severely delayed.

    Advice: re pursuing possible misleading Economy X pricing display on Virgin website

    Well what has actually happened here is that the OP was looking through a clothes rack of jeans which were marked 'From $15 and up'. The OP selected a pair of jeans which had a price tag of $50 but didn't check carefully enough. The OP then went to pay at the register for the jeans and other a...

    Qantas plane makes emergency landing at SYD

    SMH reporting it as an 'explosion' 🙄, which I guess is technically what happened, but reporting it as an engine failure isn't going to get clicks like explosion... https://www.smh.com.au/national/plane-makes-emergency-landing-at-sydney-airport-after-explosion-20241108-p5kp13.html

    Cover for changing jobs?

    It'd be a very generous policy that would cover you for an event (i.e. you deciding to change jobs) that is entirely in your control.

    Lost baggage compensation after it is ultimately returned

    Yep in this case, the delayed bag was returned, so why would the OP get compensated for the value of the bag that they eventually got back? From a legal perspective, what actual loss was incurred given the OP was separately reimbursed for the items the OP had to buy whilst the bag wasn't with...

    The Dark side of Japan Tourism.

    A very unfortunate experience and a reminder that when travelling, we are subject to the laws, regulations and customs of the host country. Calls to boycott Japan are an individual choice, however if you do so based on principle, you will be boycotting every single country (Australia included)...

    Just adding my datapoint with this "new" portal for Asia Miles: Redeemed points: 3rd July Points Credited to Asia Miles: 5th July Thank goodness nowhere near the 28 days stated in the email, although it is longer than before when miles would be credited into Asia Miles only after a few hours.
