flight delays

Hi everyone, My flight is rescheduled to the next day due to disruption. This adds an overnight (24 hours) extra layover at Helsinki to my itinerary. I have accepted the changed proposed by Finnair. I called Finnair to check for the support in Helsinki for the Hotel, etc. They told me that I...

On Monday 16 September 2024, TK168 (1015 hours midmorning SIN-MEL airborne at 1200 'high noon') should arrive at gate at 2102 hours, 82 minutes late. A359 TC-LGO has the task. TK's punctuality to and from MEL is not great.

Looking at the punctuality of QF291 (SYD-SIN), it's been rather weak recently and is trending to more delays. The aircraft is usually early enough back to SYD in the mornings so it's the turnaround that's proving to be challenge. From FR24, I took the last eight weeks of arrival times. 33% of...

The US government just announced new rules regarding refunds. This seems to revolve around providing refunds in simple manner for significant flight delays/ cancellations...

Is/was being debated in parliament. Have Bridget McKenzie and Dean Smith been kicked out of the Chairman's Lounge yet? 😜

Does anyone know why QF51 Brisbane to Singapore is always delayed or even cancelled? I've been following it recently and although I don't fly for a number of weeks I'm getting concerned about whether I will make the connecting flights in Singapore. Recently delays have been up to 4 hours and...

Wow...just wow!! Yesterday I caught an Iberian Airlines flight LHR-MAD, and then another MAD-LPA (Canary Islands). The first flight was 3 minutes late pushing back, but then was held on the apron and then in line to depart for about half an hour in total. Today I got this email (thx Google...

Hi, I have a multi city trip booked with QF april, per-syd, bri-per, and it is all confirmed and looks ok in my online account, but out of interest (to check if prices had gone up) I tried to recreate the same booking today and my flight home QF941 april 8 18.45 is not listed as an option. I...

Hi team - apoligies for the basic question but being BNE based I haven't arrived into MEL from overseas for a long time. Later this year I arrive into MEL from HKG on QF. It is an early morning arrival. I have a QF flight back to BNE late afternoon on a DIFFERENT Ticket. I realise I'll have to...

Hi All, travelling with Vietnam Airlines MEL - SGN - HND in April. Carrier has cancelled the return leg from HND to SGN. Was departing 3:30pm, rebooked on 9:30am flight. Do we have any rights, due to the change we have to change our itinerary significantly. We were returning from Sendai via...

CNS closed from 2000hrs this evening. Closed tomorrow. Potentially longer as TC Jasper meanders along coastline. Hopefully all those up north stay safe. Last flight out appears to have been VA1298 to MEL. A number of cancellations in and out this afternoon. A QLink DHC8-400 direct to BNE...

We have an internal flight booked for our trip to Europe next year. It was interesting that Mrs RB got an email asking her to support action by way of a petition "So far in 2023, there has been 64 days of ATC strikes (12 times more than all of 2022) inhibiting millions of EU citizens' Freedom of...

Does anyone know where Melburnian1 is as I miss his flight delay reports?

I had a flight from Launceston to Melbourne 2 weeks ago and it was delayed by 4-5hrs due to engineering issues We did get $8.00 food vouchers at the airport but they were freely given out Has anyone received any compensation in either cash, points or SC's? I am also VA platinum

Sorry if this has been covered in detail before but I am confused after reading numerous cancellation threads. A few weeks back Qantas cancelled our flight from Melbourne to SIngapore with 2 hours before departure. We were at the airport. We had a Qantas ticket from Melbourne/Singapore/Ko Samui...

Hi to all, I understand it is a topic which has been repeatedly covered here in the past, however I am just seeking a more 'current' update please: Early next year I am flying from SYD to Mexico via LAX. In order to travel 'on the cheap' I have already booked my Australia-LAX return tickets...

My FCO-PER-SYD flight is delayed due to mechanical problems. Now leaving 21 hours later. I’ve been informed I am to submit a claim for incurred hotel and meal expenses. Has anyone been there, done that? What are the thresholds? call centre in Switzerland wasn’t able to prove me any indications.
