On Friday 4 November 2016, SH828, the 1630 MEB - WMB took off at 1731; arrival is suggested as 67 minutes late at 1817. While these Sharp Airlines flights also go to Portland which is further from Melbourne, it is not worthwhile to fly between Melbourne and Warrnambool when the V/Line train...

3K 133 SIN-PER original schedule 02:20 - 07:30 about twelve hours (!) ahead of time I get a SMS saying re-scheduled to 03:40. At boarding the captain quickly mentions reason was weather at Perth arrival. Actual arrival has light smoke haze. Am I gullible enough to accept that as a reason...

On Friday 7 October 2016, JD461, a newish entrant to the skies from TAO to MEL should arrive at around the 1104 mark, 99 minutes behind time. It is operated by A332 B-8549. I had to look Qingdao up to discover if one can rely on Wiki that it has a population in Greater Qingdao of at least nine...

how often do flights departing Melbourne (to Sydney) get delayed? is it very regular, or can I be a little confident that we will leave on time or close to? feeling a tad nervous about a connecting flight in Sydney.

On Sunday 19 June 2016, a wet day in both BNE and SYD, HA452, the 2120 hours SYD - HNL took off at 2148 and should arrive about 34 minutes late at 1134, same day. Aircraft is A332 N380HA.

On Wednesday 23 May 2016 TL406, the 1600 hours from DRW to GTE did not take off until 1756 hours. The flight is being operated by E120ER VH-DIL - an appropriate registration for a plane that may fly to Dili, East Timor - and should arrive at about 1935 tonight, two hours late.

On Sunday 8 May 2016 SA281, the redeye from PER is approaching JNB and likely to be at the gate at about 0540 hours, 40 minutes late. Aircraft is A340 ZS-SND.

On Thursday 7 April 2016 B772 C-FNNH operating AC34, the 1010 hours SYD to YVR did not take off until 1133. Arrival same day is forecast as at about 0820, 50 minutes late.

Dear all especially Etihad Help I was on EY 52 GVA -AUH last Friday night . Long story short we were deplaned and delayed about 20 hours. Travel Insurance need a letter from the airline stating reason for delay and new flight times etc. Any particular email I should aim my request to or is...

HU7993 took off from XIY on Sunday 10 January at 1845, much later than its departure time of 1705 and will arrive in SYD at about 0835 on Monday 11 instead of 0720. Aircraft is A332 B-6118. As HU7994 back to this remote part of mainland China is not due to leave SYD until 1015, it should be on...

You Will Never Guess Why This Garuda Indonesia Flight Was Delayed! - Point Me to the Plane Certainly one of the more interesting ones I have heard..

On Tuesday 29 December DL41 arrived in SYD 75 minutes late at 0945 hours. This may delay the return DL40 back to LAX as it is timetabled to depart at 1110.

Hi there folks, Last Wednesday night, my wife and I were surprised to discover an 8 hour delay for our Singapore to Paris flight, on arriving in Changi from Melboune. It had already been a tough leg what with our 5 month old twins often in full cry! Although SQ did put us up in a hotel and...

The first Xiamen Airlines flight into SYD from Fuzhou (FOC) arrived about half an hour early this morning (Monday 30 November 2015) at around 1000, no doubt with water cannons blasting. This airline is so new to SYD that the Sydney Airport website does not have its name loaded into the 'flight...

Almost certainly due to the APEC Leader's meetings in MNL and what seems to be somewhat of an overreaction by the locals up there in cancelling hundreds of domestic and international flights, 5J7296 (A333 RP-C3345), the 1300 hours from SYD to MNL on Wednesday 18 November 2015 took off at 2016...

AA9653, the 2005 from HKG to SYD which I assume is the 'demonstration flight' for special viewing in SYD prior to the introduction of regular public transport Transpacific flights by this airline, is running late. It took off from HKG on Thursday 12 November 2015 at 2049 and should be in SYD in...

TG is hardly the highest profile international airline operating to Oz in 2015. Nonetheless despite bad (financial) losses a year or so ago (it is now once again profitable with the drop in the price of oil), it must have its fans as it continues to offer reasonable, if not stunningly good...

BI must be the smallest operator into and out of Oz offering flights to London - in its case, via BWN and DXB. It also carries quite a few passengers connecting to MNL as its fares are some of the lowest. A few years ago, BI had a far more extensive network into and out of Oz but today only...

Inbound 3U601 from little known in Australia CTU to MEL was due at 1310 hours today but is now arriving at 2025. Returning 3U602 has been delayed from 2110 to a forecast 2215 hours. Chengdu's urban area has about 7.5 million residents: about 50 per cent more than Sydney, yet I daresay fewer...
