No suprise there then.

That's why I ditched my JQ7 biz flight next week, as I wanted to get to SIN for a good night's sleep before my flight to CGK.

So I booked QF81 in J class instead. Hopefully it won't suffer the Jetstar curse.

Reason for JQ8 not leaving SIN-MEL last night was wiring problems. -VKG taxied out to the runway then cabin lighting (including emergency lighting) started doing strange things.

Crikey. My friend left on the JQ7 that was on time yesterday. Luckily it wasn't today!!

Has flight been replaced by spare flight? I´ll take same flight on 1 st November and stats look pretty bad

Looks like JQ 787 issues are still ongoing....
JQ8 2/10 still yet to dept SIN.

Looks like the return JQ2 went tech in HNL, cancelled.
Yesterdays JQ57 and 43 also got cancelled.

I was almost going to buy a flight on a JQ 787 later in the month, but I think the tickets have stopped being sold for some reason...

Only 787 flights to Bali (till 17 October) not being sold. See my post last Friday.

JQ 787 -VKB grounded at HNL with cracked windscreen. Repairs won't be completed until at least Wednesday

So many problems. Sounds like the 787 fleet needs to start those upcoming D checks pronto.

Could have been worse...could have been in SIN where there are no hotel rooms available

Travellers sleep in Singapore Airport as Jetstar cancel all flights

Jetstar's flight cancellation from Singapore to Melbourne meant many travelers were forced to spend 24 hours in the airport as the Grand Prix meant hotel prices were at a premium.

Not sure what the dispatch reliability of JQ 787 fleet is currently, but seems terrible

JQ 787 -VKB still grounded in HNL. Repairs delayed due to non arrival of spare windscreen panel from mainland US

Would it come from the QF base at LAX?

Todays JQ7 running 2 hours late, no doubt some missed connections in SIN

 

[ozmouse]

See ya folks…. I bailed …. SQ238 this morning avg delay 12 mins

I'm not sure I completely buy that. Top end hotels book out, but the bottom end hotels usually still have availability (albeit at inflated prices).

Nice….



Gotta feel for the poor coughs on the return flight though. Arrival back into Melbourne eta 430am.

Windshield replaced on -VKB at HNL. Now waiting for sealant to cure/dry. Flight not likely to leave today
