At times even after refreshing my browser, the QF 'flight status' on the website only includes up until yesterday.

It's unpredictable: for a while it will then show today, then revert. This occurs even when I've only been looking at today's flights.

There are many problems with the major Oz airlines' websites (VA is worse than QF). Is there a solution?

Perhaps it's true what many have suggested in the past, in that QF uses school kids on work experience in their IT department. ;)

Maybe "Doing the needful" is not in their vocabulary.

To explain, I have been an IT professional since 1980 - in that time I have continued to see changes in the industry.

These days I see an Oz working demographic in the industry of younger graduates around 25 and older "subject matter experts" of 50+ years looking after "legacy systems".

There is becoming a dearth of people employed in between - technical roles have generally been "off-shored".

Not a defect but I noticed an enhancement - flight status now includes other partners

Looks like the flight status feature is now showing the following BNE terminals:
T1 - QF domestic
T2 - JQ domestic
T4 - International
