flight delays

Hi AFF, new member here As the title suggests, has anyone tried the connection between NY JFK and Melbourne through Dallas Fort Worth? If yes what was your experience? How long did it take to make the connection and what were the steps/checks/lines involved? I have booked a Qantas flight...

Venting here! Back in March, during the double status credits offer, I purchased a rtn J-class fare MEL-CNS via BNE for mid July. The day before outbound travel I receive a call from Qantas saying the aircraft had been downgraded and there was no longer a J-class and that I would be put in...

Hi, I will be departing JFK at 2030 on a weekday evening from terminal 1. What would be a reasonable time to get to the airport without having to stress about having enough time but not sitting round wondering how to kill time after check in? Travelling in J class on Royal Air Maroc, I think...

Does anyone know how to contact Qantas Baggage Services in Terminal 1 at Melbourne Airport directly? I had a bag go missing on an Air Canada flight on 23 June between Montreal and Toronto. Lodged a claim with AC and they found the bag and forwarded it to Melbourne with Qantas handling the last...

Today marks 10 years since the delays/cancellations threads on 'AFF' were commenced. While 'Ask The Pilot' is clearly AFF's number one drawcard with its three million views (deservedly so), the delays and cancellations threads evoke interest, with almost a million views of the Qantas...

Any views on this? I appreciate it will depend on which airline and where the flight is going Is any airline departing australia permitting OLCI yet? My research indicates JQ and VA don’t allow it to any international destination though I can’t confirm that

Does anyone have any information on why QF1 / QF2 was delayed today. I'm due to connect to QF52, on 19/6 but I've been moved to QF52 on 20/6 meaning I'll be a day late. I want to be able to work out if I'm eligible for UK261 compensation.

Friday 9 June 2023 saw VJ85, the scheduled 1930 hours SGN down to SYD (A333 VN-A814) not airborne until 2221 hours, so SYD arrival at gate on Saturday 10 was 132 minutes late at 0932 hours. The returning VN86 (1015 hours is the timetabled pushback) is showing as likely to be off blocks at 1145...

Hi, Looking for some advice please. I was booked using Qantas points last week on 1 June, on AA73, LHR to LAX with a 2 hour connection to AA73 to SYD in F. Got a message that morning it had been delayed by 15 hours. Called AA, they said can’t help. Called Qantas they said all they could do was...

Hi, looking at the cancellations and delays of QF from SYD to MEL today and saw this flight which states it would land at Terminal 5, but this terminal doesn't seem to exist. The flight is also an odd number QF7391. Where is it supposed to be going?

In case anyone was wondering, this is what Qantas provides (at least at Melbourne airport domestic terminal) when your bag doesn’t arrive.

I have a ticket to Europe via TLV with a 3 hour transit. Someone told me recently that TLV does not allow through-check of bags and forces you to collect and re-check, even if you have no interest in clearing immigration and are on a single ticket. Is that correct?

Hi all I just searched for this one but does not seem to be widely discussed. I have just booked SYD - BLR - BOM all on one ticket with both flights having QF numbers. Has anyone ever done this transfer process? Ie what happens past immigration? Any information is greatly appreciated! Ty

This is quite the story. Imagine sitting in Y for 16 hours only to land back at your point of departure! During Air NZ's flight from AKL to JFK, JFK closed mid-flight due to a fire and the pilots were directed by Air NZ management to fly back to AKL. The pilots tried to suggest diverting to...

SYD airport has been closed amid a huge lightning storm in Sydney today. Several flights are on the ground awaiting the airport reopening, such as flights from CBR and MEL. I'm monitoring the situation as I know someone on one of the flights. They have been stranded on QF1436 CBR-SYD since...

The first flight, a northbound MCY to PPP on Tuesday 31 January 2023 ran late, but so far I can't see any specific online details via FR24 or other sources. I do not know if the B738 was VH-UJK or VH-UJT.

ICN-SYD is TW's first international long-haul route. Probably the definition of 'long haul' is anything above seven and a half or eight hours, so this route ticks that box. I'd never heard of this airline before seeing an article about it a short while back, but it has a fairly lengthy history...

Hello everyone, I am planning to visit the US for the first time in late 2023 or early 2024. If possible, i am also trying to experience ANA's latest J or F seats (Currently only available on flights to /from LAX, ORD and JFK) At this stage, i have no plans to visit NYC, so looking at flying...

Hi AFF family. Long time follower, first time poster here. So apologies in advance for any posting errors. Let me give a quick background before I get to the issue at hand. I've booked a Europe trip for mid next year (using Qantas classic rewards) with the final 2x legs going from Dubai to...

Spotted this on Bloomberg news earlier today: So far a number of airlines have had to make major changes to their operations out of AKL. Some airlines are flying passengers and cargo into AKL then flying back empty on a full tank, just in case. Others have opted to make stopovers at HNL...
