Re: General Qantas Delays/Cancellations/etc. Discussion
The delayed QF9 had quite a fast trip from DXB to LHR in six hours and 42 minutes, arriving at 1902 last night. It looks like it formed QF2, which got away from LHR 43 minutes late at 2158 - quite good in the circumstances.
This morning, QF10 from LHR and DXB is just about to arrive MEL at about 1030, three hours late as it spent multiple extra hours in DXB yesterday afternoon. In turn, QF93 was previously shown as delayed from its normal 1020 departure until 1130, but has now been put back to what still might be a little optimistic mooted departure of 1200, meaning at least an hour's late delay to the timetabled LAX arrival time of 0640. In turn, QF107 from LAX to JFK that is due out at 0845 might be delayed.
Bags of connecting MEL or SYD passengers to JFK are doubtless waybilled for transfer at LAX to QF107, but when delays to flights such as QF93 occur, are the passengers (and hold luggage) changed to travel between LAX and JFK on flights such as AA2, AA12 and so on so as not to delay the 744 operating BNE - LAX - JFK and return?
Update: QF93 departed MEL at 1230, but was not formed by QF10, but as far as I could see by QF94. So etops1 below should have A388 VH-OQK, while VH-OQH is on its way to LAX.
