Cathay Pacific Delays/Cancellations

[Melburnian1]

CX156, the 0050 hours BNE up to HKG on Monday 9 July 2018 did not take off until 0941 hours. Arrival should be at 1615 this afternoon instead of 0730 hours, 525 minutes late. Aircraft is B-LRQ, an A359. The aircraft had been seven minutes early arriving in BNE last nigtht at 2313 hours as CX157, so a most unfortunate delay.

Advice from AFFers as to whether they were given hotel accommodation (if from out of town) would be great.
