flight delays

We had an AirNZ flight cancelled today SYD to YVR via AKL apparently "due to an engine needing to be replaced" We were notified 14hrs before our flight. And about 4 hours later were given a very unacceptable change to a flight that would get us in late at night and also had us flying via IAH...

A question for the brains trust as I have no real understanding of the EU rules regarding airlines. Its pretty long winded, but to try and overt wasting peoples time, I thought I'd lay out the full picture. Two of us were booked on a BA ticket MEL to LHR via SIN. Both sectors were in whY...

This is a new one for me after many Dash 8 flights between CBR and SYD. I’m currently on QF1450, a fully booked Q400 and we’re delayed because the plane is too heavy. The captain explained that with the weather conditions the way they are currently, they can’t take off here in Canberra with a...

Hello Looking for tips to get my luggage back. In 30 years of flying such a monumental stuff up has never occurred. Baggage didn’t arrive after a short transfer at Warsaw with LOT airlines. Lodged a report straightaway with a lovely lady at the airport who assured us our bags would be sent to...

Hey Everyone I have flown Air North, Alice Springs to Perth, the flight has been delayed, from an hour to six. This seems to be a regular occurrence. I have an upcoming connection for Perth-London. Will they be more likely to depart on time knowing there’s connection flights or will I get...

Last week we received the notification that QF12 LAX-SYD was delayed until the following day 1000 departure. We received this notification via text and email. I understand there are airbus issues and the delay was due to inbound flight delay? Logged into FF manage trip and saw we confirmed...

Hi All, Just departing from Bali tonight and noted that the board states all virgin flights cancelled due to volcano. Does anyone have any insight into this? Noting all other flights to Melbourne still operating so assuming it’s effecting one of Virgins diversion airports rather than Bali itself

Hi all Currently sitting in the CBR J lounge, having been booted off QF1285, CBR-MEL (scheduled for 18:45). The reason we were given was that CBR had very recently become fogged in. And it is a bit foggy just now, granted. BUT - the real cause was bringing in an engineer to replace a seat...

Thailand has introduced new air passenger rights, which include minimum standards of treatment and cash compensation for delays over 5 hours, cancellations and denied boarding. https://www.nationthailand.com/news/tourism/40050206 Jetstar has issued a notice today about how this affects its...

Hey, does anyone have the list of flights for this winter in Canberra where the planes are parked in Canberra overnight? The old Whole of Govt travel provider used to put out a list but haven't seen it for a couple years. More specifically, looking to see if QF 1273 on 22 July 25 would have...

My wife is returning from Sydney today in J on QF1. Just received a notification from Qantas advising the flight time has changed. After checking the Qantas website, it seems the SYD to SIN flight will operate as scheduled, but SIN to LHR is delayed from 23:05 on Wednesday to 06:00 on...

Hi everyone, My flight is rescheduled to the next day due to disruption. This adds an overnight (24 hours) extra layover at Helsinki to my itinerary. I have accepted the changed proposed by Finnair. I called Finnair to check for the support in Helsinki for the Hotel, etc. They told me that I...

On Monday 16 September 2024, TK168 (1015 hours midmorning SIN-MEL airborne at 1200 'high noon') should arrive at gate at 2102 hours, 82 minutes late. A359 TC-LGO has the task. TK's punctuality to and from MEL is not great.

Looking at the punctuality of QF291 (SYD-SIN), it's been rather weak recently and is trending to more delays. The aircraft is usually early enough back to SYD in the mornings so it's the turnaround that's proving to be challenge. From FR24, I took the last eight weeks of arrival times. 33% of...

The US government just announced new rules regarding refunds. This seems to revolve around providing refunds in simple manner for significant flight delays/ cancellations...

hi folks, I have an economy multi-city ticket with Qatar TLS (Toulouse in France) to DOH for tomorrow, then DOH to SYD on Sunday. The flight tomorrow has just been cancelled due to an air traffic controller strike in France. Qatar are saying their next available flight is on the 28th, which...

Is/was being debated in parliament. Have Bridget McKenzie and Dean Smith been kicked out of the Chairman's Lounge yet? 😜

Does anyone know why QF51 Brisbane to Singapore is always delayed or even cancelled? I've been following it recently and although I don't fly for a number of weeks I'm getting concerned about whether I will make the connecting flights in Singapore. Recently delays have been up to 4 hours and...

Wow...just wow!! Yesterday I caught an Iberian Airlines flight LHR-MAD, and then another MAD-LPA (Canary Islands). The first flight was 3 minutes late pushing back, but then was held on the apron and then in line to depart for about half an hour in total. Today I got this email (thx Google...
