YMML site a very sad site to see tonight.
I am intrigued, in general what happens to tonights /early am Monday International flights. Am aware about the QF ones, however there are others inbound & outbound that will be in the YMML area, around this 2200 (local) that I have read when this cloud is supposed to in the area. I am sure it wont be a 5 minute ah it's gone now. One sad case in point is EK from AKL, along with many, many others this morning it was severley delayed inbound due to the great fog. Now it is hours late.. That is after its reasonably generous turnaround in AKL. It now along with other carriers potentially could be affected by the cloud. (Personal view no information re this) I am interested how this is going to happen, given the shutdown by the domestics. I understand the airport is NOT shutdown. If I hear one story about someone being inconvenienced by the domestics action, I swear I will scream. Yeah, I really should get ready shouldnt I? It could be fairly messy tomorrow (Mon) on several fronts, the ash cloud, the current backlog, we have a real chance of a fog again tomorrow and tomorrow will be when all the long weekenders want to come home. No tolerance at all for what has happened today Challenging day ahead I suspect. Kind regards, Geoff Last edited by Geoff W; 12th June 2011 at 08:27 PM. Reason: Slight change |

I hope the cloud doesn't affect YSSY anytime soon. I depart on VS0201 YSSY-VHHH on the 23rd, i hope the cloud doesnt have any impact on my flight, as my holiday is already jam-packed as is

You should be fine John, the cloud is expected to go as far north as CBR last time I heard.

With the current east coast low developing near SE Queensland, and it's forecast to track south during the week, I look forward to seeing how that will mix things up with this ash cloud.
And let's not forget, the volcano responsible for this is still quite active. http://reg.bom.gov.au/info/vaac/cord...le_image.shtml This link shows the ash cloud via infrared.

Oliver,
Might be clear by then- but backlog is gonna be enormous. Check with your airline before you go to the airport.. At this stage the BOM website link is showing the cloud to hang around till AT LEAST 4pm EST tomorrow Monday 13th. As you can imagine though near 2 days worth of travellers will be looking to get on flights as well.. |

I am leaving in the on a 1PM JQ flight to SYD and returning on a late QF flight. Hopefully won't to be bad.
Maybe QF will put a few 744s on MEL-SYD flights in the next few days.
