This explains the big line of people at the F lounge desk now... Maybe they've taken the aircraft for QF12 tonight, and given it to the delayed people (including me) from last night's cancelled Qf12 which is now Qf18. Bet they thought they could fix the plane and run both. They couldn't, and...

So latest announcement after deplaning is apparently all of QF12 last night is being transferred to an entirely different a380 leaving in 6 and a half hours. Words of slotting cargo out and back in as-is were used. Do they have spare metal here? Qf18 is the new flight for last nights refugees

They're saying they're spreading people across the three flights tonight. I don't think they have enough seats Yes same plane as what was supposed to leave last night - 9 May.

The plane pushed back 15 minutes ago, and we are now returning to the gate. This is cooked. It sounds like a botched engine swap out.

Yes, they're aware of that. I asked wtf they are keeping us on the plane and they said they were applying for special dispensation to land after curfew, and the backup is to go to Brisbane. Either way, the hotel situation sounds dire if we can land late.

And it's now going back to a gate, after pushing back, due to a hydraulic issue.

So the aircraft was at LAX for a few days for a scheduled maintenance. And clearly it took longer than expected, and thus they should have known and advised sooner.

That's rough. I was offered mine back, but told it would take 60-90min to get it out. I declined.

I'm stuck on this delayed flight, no J on Mel or AA Syd flight last night, and you're telling me they knew 1-2 days in advance of this issue??? It's also further slipped from 11am to 1pm, so I'm a bit worried. Their hotel voucher process last night was a joke. F Lounge kept giving me "it's...

Surely chicago or Miami make more sense

Well Bali is where the FMD risk is, so that actually makes sense.

Does anyone know what's going on with the reward fares on AA in the US using QFF points? I've booked several US domestic flights (DCA-MIA) over the past few months, always with stacks of availability (even a day or two out), and since the maintenance late last month there is absolutely zero...

Earlier this year I tried to status match against Qantas - delta bypassed the fact my entire digital card said WP and read the tiny lifetime silver bit at the bottom. Matched me to their lowest tier Asked them to correct, they said no can do, and have now avoided flying with them entirely. UA...

I go from QF domestic onto UA international later this week, all the one ticket. Presume I don't get access to the seamless bus? Usually I do QF or OW right through. So first time flipping to UA.

In my case I had already requalified for WP with my year ending 30 April. So I didn't benefit at all from the early call to extend all members by a year in march. My main intl travel occurs in the months May-July, so I won't come close to requalifying come 30 April 2021. Why did people who had...

Travel insurance is likely to still say the cancellation was a result of the pandemic, which is what Qantas is using to get out of refunds (outside their control). If you're within 120 days of booking, I suggest a credit card chargeback

I'm honestly tempted to do a credit card chargeback. I'm still in my window for my flights on 4 April that have been cancelled. I can see why they don't want to refund, they'd lose a lot of capital reserves. But chargebacks are perfectly legitimate for not delivering the purchased product, and...
