With the extremely cold temperatures in Vancouver, Canada an inhibitor to anything close to on-time departures, on Tuesday 20 December 2022, AC33 (B772LR C-FIUJ), the 2300 hours YVR-SYD did not take off until Wednesday 21 at 0334 hours. Arrival is shortly at 1411 hours, 266 minutes late. This will badly delay the returning AC34.

It's minus eight in Vancouver at 1800 hours (1400 AEDT Sydney time, with us ahead of them).
 
Fog was predicted for Monday 26 December 2022's morning in SYD, and seems to have affected arrivals until QF44 from DPS was able to land at 0647 hours.

AC33 from YVR to SYD was already running late - chilly over in Canada - with B789 C-FNOG in a holding pattern offshore at 0658 hours despite scheduled SYD at gate arrival of 0645. FR24 it's become 0736 hours, 51 late, but may blow out a little due to the queue of aircraft trying to land.
 
B772ER C-FIUJ is on AC33 from YVR down to SYD that on Thursday 12 January is arriving at 1132 hours, 107 minutes late. This will delay AC34, the return flight.
 
The YVR down to SYD AC33 arriving on Thursday 29 June 2023 has B772LR C-FIUJ with gate arrival suggested as 0815 hours, 65 late as on Tuesday 27, this 2240 hours flight didn't take off until 0025 on Wednesday 28.
 
AC33 from YVR down to SYD is arriving on Wednesday 12 July 2023 at 0838 hours, 88 minutes behind the timetable with B772LR C-FNND. The 0925 hours SYD-YVR return flight has no chance of departing prior to 1015 hours.
 
On Sunday 1 September 2024, AC34 departed from YYZ (Toronto) at 2111 hours despite being a timetabled 1845 hours off blocks. It arrived YVR at 2239 hours, 118 minutes behind schedule, and then took off at 0101 hours on Monday 2. SYD arrival at gate on Tuesday 3 should be 0843 hours, 83 late.

B773ER C-FIUA should then depart SYD as AC34 back to Vancouver at about 1025 instead of 0920 hours.
