flight delays

I’ve already made WP for this year with my account resetting on August 31. Just found out I need to travel for business mid August. Are there any proven tactics I can use to delay the posting of status credits from this trip until after September 1st? I will already be delaying the 50SC...

I had never heard of this airline, but on Wednesday 27 June 2018, DZ6223, the overnight SZX - DRW (B738 B-7100) is arriving at an estimated 0924 hours, 44 minutes late. It is one of very few international airlines that operate B738s to and from Australia.

Hi everyone, Anyone else finding that there is a long wait for FF points and status credits being added to their account? I’m still waiting for points from a trip CBR-ADL-CBR earlier this month and again after a trip yesterday CNS-SYD-CBR, I have been credited with the SYD-CBR leg, but the...

It was snowing in Helsinki and no baggage made it onto the Finnair flight to Rovaneimi. Staff at RVN said it could be 24 hrs or so before the bags arrived. We went shopping for some extra thermal undies etc. Our hotel called at around 10:30 next morning to say the bags had arrived. We decided to...

Flight delays possible as UK's air traffic controllers switch from paper to digital

The SYD passenger processing problems on the early morning of Friday 9 March due to security camera and other system failures were a classic case of the airport management, not JQ TT VA or ZL being responsible. In these circumstances, would the contracts between airlines and airports (with the...

Hey everyone, I just got an email from expertflyer promoting some sort of compo-seeking business. Essentially I understand it to somehow go through your emails, find delayed/cancelled flights, and then seek compo for you, charging 30% of whatever "they" get back for you. Does anyone have...

I was onboard BA589 LIN-LHR on December 10. We were moved to the 1.15pm which then ended up having more of a delay so back onto BA589 for the 2.15 departure. We sat on the tarmac for 90 mins before taking off then arriving into UK airspace to hear that LHR closed the airspace and no more BA...

Catching QF12 home today JFK - SYD It appears the plane from BNE to LAX was significantly delayed departing which is the plane from LAX to JFK I am curious what usually happens with the connection in LAX or any other thoughts people might have The LAX to Syd part still shows on time As it is...

Makes for an interesting news and more astounding is how does the cabin crew find out you do not have flight mode on... DYNKWIA - the news article says it was a company CEO

Seriously poor service tonight by the Sydney Lounge. Despite plane having arrived from Cairns at about 9pm the operating crew were delayed by about 30 mins. However at ~930pm Sydney lounge staff decided it was time to go home so (falsely) announced the flight was boarding and kicked us out of...

I had a rather unusual delay yesterday on QF52 from Singapore to Brisbane. The cause of the delay... tropical fish. We boarded on time but then sat at the gate for nearly an hour while the flight crew sorted out a "cargo issue". The captain later explained the full reason for the delay...

Mrs AS is on QF12 JFK-LAX. Flight has been delayed 1 hour, meaning arrival to LAX will be 10pm. This means she will miss her connecting QF94 LAX-MEL (departing 10.10pm). What will QF do for her? I would hope a hotel at the least, given how late at night it is.

Evidenced by how when I looked to see if I'd posted a previous delay, I could not locate one, JL has an excellent punctuality record. However on Saturday 17 June, JL771, the Friday 16 1925 hours NRT - SYD that did not take off until 2138 should arrive at 0742 hours, 92 minutes late with B789...

Reports a computer outage is causing delays worldwide for BA British Airways: Computer problems cause flight delays - BBC News

All was going so well ... we landed in Dubai a mere 20 mins late at 7.20am this morning and boarded on time for a 9.05am departure. (Having had the bonus of an upgrade to F) Sadly it was not to be and a fault developed on pre flight checks that has yet to be fixed ... local time now 12.30pm and...

I'm on the significantly delayed QF12, which is meant to leave at 10:30pm on Apr 9, but has now been rescheduled for 8:45am the next day (a delay of about 10 hours). I've never been in this situation with QF, so I'm very interested to see the service recovery for this. Got notified via SMS (and...

Hi all, There was a thread about 4 years ago about QF compensation for delayed flights; with the recent QF2 Dubai-Sydney delay (up to 72 hours for some) over the new year more recently QF1 SYD-LHR on March 2 being delayed by 21 hours, I was wondering if anyone here was on one of those flights...

Hi, My wife and I recently flew Victoria - Vancouver - Sydney in J Class. The Victoria to Vancouver leg was Air Canada economy (dash-8) but our bags were tagged priority and our booking was on the one PNR and bags checked through to Sydney. When we arrived in Sydney our oversized ski bag...
