QF10late Currently estimated to depart ¾ hour late:

• Track Flight Status for (QF) Qantas Airways 108

The reason for the late departure of QF107 (and most other flights that day) was lightning closing the ramp. QF149 was even further delayed as it had a mechanical problem found just as boarding was ready to commence after the ramp opened after the lighting. But of course any delays for other LAX flights can be resolved during the many hours they sit on the ground, but QF107 does not get that luxury.

The ramp was closed from around 10:30am for at least an hour.

My QF19 was delayed by about 75 mins. At least I was able to while away the delay in the FLounge while watching the blue flashing lights around the ramp area.

Well we must have made up for an extraordinary amount of time enroute as we landed in SYD only 5 mins behind schedule! But we wasted some time making a v convoluted taxi as an SQ A380 had mechanical problems and was stuck on a major taxiway as a result.

Is it 'an' A380 or 'the' A380. Do they have a second one yet
