Flights Cancelled

Due to the dust storm, flights today have been cancelled from the GOld Coast stranding Saints supporters with no available flights till Sat arvo. Just praying that it has cleared by the morning. Trying to stay calm.

not trying to neg you out bev but last time there was a dust storm in sydney it stayed around a while. seeing as you only now just have it in queensland it could be a case of it staying put or being mild. last time it happened in sydney it hung around for a good few days.

Some flights were cancelled today in Bris, though as far as I have heard it is worse on the coast. Just watching the news it looks not to bad in Bris, that havn't shown Coast. Don't know about the Sunny Coast. Yes flights booked out from the Coast. Will have to have a plan B I think.

Is the problem the dust in Sydney or is there also bad dust in SE Qld?

If it's only in Sydney then the problem is the lack of available planes around the country?

Have you checked the train schedule from Brisbane to Melbourne.

Drive down to NSW and catch a plane.

.

As past very frequent flyer the problem is that the planes flying around the country are often interconnected in their routing and so if there is major problem at one airport it can ripple around the country.

Hope you and the crew make it Bev.

Having lived in Sydney for 7 years I can only imagine your stress.

We're thinking of you.

Bev, I hope you make it.
If a road trip is an option please take it.
I know from your posts that you are a true supporter. Please get there. You deserve to be there. I have everything crossed for you.

I am flying out of Gold Coast tomorrow too. Fingers crossed it clears up.
Oh f***!

battye · Post: # 830432Post **battye** » Wed 23 Sep 2009 8:30pm

How many hours drive is it from Gold Coast to Melbourne?

Milton66 · Post: # 830436Post **Milton66** » Wed 23 Sep 2009 8:33pm

16?

Surely, there's a bus service.

If I was driving down, I'd give ya a lift.

Worse case, hire a car one way and fly back.

Thinline · Post: # 830439Post **Thinline** » Wed 23 Sep 2009 8:33pm

A healthy 18 to 20 hours.

Clearing by looks. I can see stars.
