AFAIK QF1 also late into LHR. QF31 14th was also planned late ex SIN. Over brecky in LHR just now, heard that QF2 tonight is planned 2 hrs late - that's after curfew here, more costs.
Perhaps the odd chicken is coming home to roost?
Hmmm. One wonders how long the premium punters put up with that, when the main competing carriers operate through their home ports and may therefore have better access to back-up a/c; even oneworld Cathay, so potentially no dropping of FFP miles/status for QF FFs (have left BA out of the analysis due route-sharing arrangement).
