Sydney airport is currently closed due to storms. A few flights have had to go around, with the start of some diversions like QF144 (VH-XZM) AKL-SYD currently diverting to CBR.
 
Just dropped some family visiting from overseas off at BNE, their QF529 diverted to Newcastle. But QF11 delayed by 4+ hours might help them still get home.

I have two team members flying from CBR to LAX via Sydney today.

One was scheduled to connect via MEL, Qantas cancelled that and put her on a direct Sydney flight this morning. Then bumped her until 4pm this afternoon but now that’s delayed further due to the weather.

Thankfully QF11 is already pushed back 4 hours today, but if she misses QF11 because Qantas moved her off not only the earlier flight we’d booked but the subsequent earlier flight they moved her onto this morning we’ll be mightily upset.

The odds are get ready to be upset!
 
Qantas moved her onto a SYD flight that was supposed to leave earlier, but now they’ve boarded 2 different flights to SYD including the one she was just moved off and she’s still sitting on the ground in CBR, 11 hours after the flight we actually booked should have left.
 
QF11 got pushed even further back to 10pm, which was a blessing for us as both team members should now manage to get on the flight.

Their connection from LAX is another problem of course...
 
QF29 & 30 HKG MEL delayed again on QPF (01/12)

QF 29 took off at 1323, arrived at 1917 instead of 1105 with arrival at 1735

QF30 return in consequence took off almost 2 hrs later at 2111 instead of 1930, now ETA at 0849 instead of 0745
