The few other flights into Melbourne from New Zealand yesterday and this morning are using a more northern flight path, entering/exiting the Australian coastline over Wollongong.

VH-VOW is cruising at FL170 on a MEL-SYD run, just crossing the border now. But VH-VBY has just departed MEL for a MEL-SYD flight and its climbing through FL295 just overhead Bonnie Doon.

I saw that too, VH-VBY on DJ829. The flight crew must be feeling lucky  Regarding the Qantas staff who would have worked on the many international and domestic flights which are cancelled today; do they still get a day's worth of pay despite not working today, given they are on an annual salary, or do they go unpaid as a result of the circumstances?

News of a possible second cloud over the next few days. Might not be going to Sydney on Wednesday after-all.

I just got into Canberra from Auckland with Air NZ on NZ703. The aicraft was pretty much packed. Was lucky to get on this flight home with Qantas cancelling everything and saying travel insurance will cover your hotel accommodation for another night.
Anyway, the captain said the flight path would see the flight fly up to Noumea, take a left and then climb to normal altitude before descending into Sydney. IIRC we cruised a lot of the flight at about 7000m and then got up to about 10000 or so before descending. It was a fine flight, had no problems. Good to be home though.  Alex.

Looks like a QF744 VH-OJT is operating this evening to clear the backlog. QF1121/1122 SYD-MEL-SYD
