Re: Australian Air SIN-CNS Trip from Hell
Sounds like a lot of fun, in similar situations I have rung the QF Club phone number to find out what is happening as they are often well plugged into flight ops, one of the benefits of getting some status with the airline. Sometimes they have been able to rebook me on to a later flight that day or next day, allowing me to control my travel to suit my needs, this happened last year in Hobart when a baggage handler ran into the plane with the conveyor, I rebooked for the next day rather than wait 4 hours for a VB flight.
I have travel insurance to cover things like hotels when there is more than a 2 hours disruption/delay - very handy!
As for the Darwin resort at the airport, it is a very fine hotel in comparison to many in Darwin and my favorite, at the end of the day Darwin is a small country town in comparison to other cities and should be viewed as such. There is a reason why its casino is a lot bigger than Cairns, there is not muich else to do there besides fishing and heading to Kakadu!
