On Wednesday 15 February, AFF member opusman reported (in another thread):

Last night on EK407 we had two goes at landing at Melbourne, presumably on 16/34 first but the tailwind was too strong, and then again on 09/27 but presumably a too-strong tailwind translates into a too-strong crosswind as well?

Ended up going up to Sydney to re-fuel and coming back again.

An unpleasant start to the day of Saturday 25 February for BNE - SIN passengers on EK433, the shockingly timed 0235 hours departure. Takeoff was not until 0508 so arrival is predicted at 1013, 123 minutes behind schedule. Aircraft is B773ER A6-EBE.

That would be torture worse than waterboarding.

A lot of those PAX would have been at the airport from 8pm and waiting for check in to open at 11:30pm, to them have that massive wait before they could try to nod off

 

[mushez]

Ek434 was delayed out of BNE until noon on Friday - allowed me to use the lounge flying out on QF51 which departed same time

 

[Melburnian1]

On Sunday 26 February in SYD, EK418 from BKK (A380 A6-EDM) is arriving a around 0946, 46 minutes behind schedule.
