Friday 2 March has seen QF11 depart 54 minutes late at 1224 hours from SYD. Projected LAX arrival, same day, is 0650, half an hour behind.
The 0930 hours SYD - HKG QF127 departed 134 late at 1144 this morniong. Arrival has become an estimated 1805 hours, 135 late. Aircraft is A333 VH-QPH that arrived at about 0941 hours, 131 minutes tardy on QF24 ex BKK after yesterday similarly departing SYD late on the fairly erratic, timekeeping wise, QF23, a flight that used to be pretty punctual. TG now way outperforms QF for timely arrivals on this secondary route.
QF19 (1225 hours SYD - MNL) pushed back 52 late but should arrive 32 late at 1802 tonight. Mostly this five day a week flight (one day has a differently timed departure) is an A332 but today A333 VH-QPC that arrived SYD on QF6 ex SIN six minutes early at 1034 has the task.
The mid to latish arvo QF5 (1645 hours SYD - SIN second flight) is put back two hours with arrival suggested as 2340 late this evening, 105 minutes behind the timetable.
On the first day of the northern spring, QF12 pushed back from JFK four minutes early at 1756 hours. Doubtless this has previously occurred, but it's pretty rare. More often at least half an hour late and sometimes depending on the vagaries of connecting flights ex Oz east coast plus USA east coast weather that contribute to QF11's unpunctuality, transcon QF12 can be significantly behind time.
