Maybe it will clear by this afternoon.

Might be an interesting afternoon/evening for arrivals into ADL....... Partly cloudy. Slight (30%) chance of a shower from late this morning. The chance of a thunderstorm in the late morning and afternoon. Winds north to northeasterly 25 to 40 km/h increasing to 55 km/h before shifting west to southwesterly 35 to 50 km/h in the late afternoon.

I have also made it to the BNE J lounge.

Such a shame the bar isn't open yet!

 

[Hvr]

It is in the MEL J lounge. Pity I don't drink.

 

[Pushka]

Winds aren’t a problem so far. Heavily overcast and spots of dirty rain.

Ah. The perils of not having daylight savings. Karma.

We are also now delayed half an hour

 

[Pushka]

Which will cause MrP and Master P issues as they catch the last flight out to Adelaide tonight. That flight is always delayed even with no apparent reason.

QF? We're on VA.

 

[Pushka]

QF? We're on VA.

One of each. QF wanted $857 for one way Mel - Adl so hi ho, off to Virgin MrP goes. Master P booked his flights earlier on Q.

 

[blackcat20]

Yeah prices were horrible months ago. We used points during the reward sale.

It was less than $100 extra for J I think. $800+ is a hefty price for Y.

Just finished my $10 bacon and eggs brekky with free coffee and the airport is in the distance ..... skysclook clear down there and forecast of 29(?) hasn’t eventuated.

I did wonder if I spied a certain AFFer, who. I’ve not yet met, coffee In Hand frequenting the same cafe ....

 

[serfty]

My a/c according to Flightaware was doing ADL-SYD-CNS-SYD-ADL . FR showing departed to CNS 2 hours late , so who knows what is happening ...hoping for a reshuffle of A/C

We are also now delayed half an hour

The equipment for mine has been swapped with the new craft estimated to arrive into MEL 2 hours before heading to ADL and so back on time.

Can’t believe I’m saying that but VA lounge food is better than QF J offal sauce-with-nothing-in-it and rice. They even have better beer selection, I’m impressed!

Btw I have car in ADL (need to do some work tomorrow) in case anyone wants a ride from airport to the Hilton. If my flight leaves MEL on time I’m expecting to land 15:30.

Melbourne? If so the new J lounge food offerings are awful.

I have now to , but hasn't made a big difference , with the incoming only arriving 5 mins earlier now from HVB according to Flightaware , so still looking at an hour delay ....hoping for some more reshuffling

Yes, Melbourne. Sydney is exactly the same, absolutely terrible food but at least there can use PP and eat out.

 

[Bindibuys]

Plane broken...... have no idea how late we r going to be...

 

[boomy]

My flight delayed too, what’s going on today??
