Qantas Delays/Cancellations

A continuing lack of crew for the A220s sees QF1298 MEL-CFS cancelled yet again, today no Dash 8 alternative
 
From onboard QF797, today’s 1230 ASP-MEL: departure was delayed by just over an hour while multiple cigarette lighters were retrieved from luggage in the aircraft hold, after apparently being spotted on a pre-departure re-check of the screened baggage images.

Most likely a medical if they land in airports that don’t have QF support- but stand to be corrected on this
I was on QF32 some years ago. We landed in KUL due to storms in SIN where we waited for the storm to clear and get more fuel.
It doesn't have to be a medical for a diversion to somewhere that airline doesn't have "support".

Fun fact.
QF32 used to operate KUL/SIN/SYD many, many, many moons ago.
 
EK413 has filed for an after curfew landing after diverting to BNE, there is some hope !
Maybe not. Now at gate 4 at CBR.. They might let you off to sit in the international lounge area, but there’s no immigration staff on duty. Again Good luck.

Well good luck. Few others also arrived in CBR. Showing you going at 9:45… Summer time in Sydney!!!
Just pulled up to a parking bay. It was quite amusing that the captain halfway through taxiing (it was a long taxi as we had to wait for a slot) came on the PA and authorised everyone to go to the loo (himself included).

Here's what our current app suggests.

Looks like we're going to be pushing back now.
Seems like a tight race to make it back by curfew but I guess barely enough time.

Dispensation has been given to EK413 to land after curfew who have just pushed back from BNE. Hopefully you're in the same bucket.

Possible extra points and SC too? 😅
