I don't really care which of those it is with that person, but this board does have an Ignore User function, which works well when people don't quote the person. Just view the person's profile, click on User Lists, then Add to Ignore List.

The budget airlines are working just as hard as anyone to get people home and amongst other measures are putting on extra flights and that was indeed, as you said, yet another totally ludicrous comment.

I think STN should be less crowded than LHR where simply scrap those budget carriers in service until all premium carriers finishes their job would be reasonable.

yes, because Anzac day is on all of their minds, I think the only thing you have on your mind is LCC and spouting out your vitriol!

Looks like one of the first 'extra' flights has departed.
VH-OJM is currently operating QF171 to Singapore and may continue to London or Frankfurt (not sure at this stage) or just terminate at Singapore and bring stranded pax from there.
I'd imagine any flights originating in London or Frankfurt would be close to full and would be unable to take extra pax from Singapore (or Bangkok).

Shall wait and see what other flights take place over the coming days. From memory, the news reported 3 extra flights but couldn't remember for how long.

Info about the extra flights is here: http://www.qantas.com.au/agents/dyn/qf/info/201004/0417

QF171 is going to Singapore and then onto Frankfurt.

Hi All,

QF 158 is currently in Sinagpore from LHR.inbound for SYD.

She is due at 0710.

I believe this is an extra Flight from LHR.

Rego of Aircraft and Type please.

Just checked my SBS log and VH-OJG came in about an hour ago as QF32!
Regular flights QF2 (OEH) and QF6 (OJF) arrived earlier.

VH-OEH QF0002 24/04/2010 04:57 Qantas B747-438(ER) London-Bangkok-Sydney
VH-OJF QF0006 24/04/2010 05:00 Qantas B747-438 Frankfurt-Singapore-Sydney
VH-OJG QF0032 24/04/2010 06:55 Qantas B747-438 London-Singapore-Sydney

It will be interesting to see how QF slot in extra services.

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Yes, will be interesting.
Thought they would have made better use of the A380's - extra capacity + add a few extra seats!
OQC was on my log but no flight details.
