Photos from Sydney T2, pretty chaotic and it mostly seems to be at the VA check in. A quick perusal of the VA FB page shows lots of angry comments regarding flight delays, cancellations, baggage issues, call centre wait times, overbooking etc.
And a perusal of news sites shows cancellations and delays all across the northern hemisphere this summer. This isn’t making any excuses for what’s happening atm, I think all airlines need to do better, but it’s not a problem confined to just one airline in one country.
I remember in 2011 everyone was saying that would be the end of QF too, everyone would flock to VA. What ended up happening?
