All good things come to an end, So is our USA stay. Today, we're flying back to Los Angeles where we have a few hours to kill before we board VA 8 to Brisbane,
VA 8 back to Oz 777-300ER
We'll miss a day going back home. We arrive early on Friday
VA 08 is now (Thursday 4th here) just south of New Caledonia and is expected in BNE at 0747 hrs - slightly late. Good news: Last night was great sleeping weather and this morning is pleasantly cool (5.30 am). Also on the weekend the weather will be cooler and possibly rain and - "yuck" - some storms, so sleeping the jet lag off will be not so bad - aircon or no aircon. I shall watch your approach on Flight Tracker from early morning tomorrow. Hope the flight is better than the one across. I always found the long range east to west flights far less exhausting - Jet Lag wise! Safe flying and thanks for the travel diary. Cheers Colin
Ooops - my map reading was not up to scratch. VA 08 was just north of New Caledonia, now 0615 hrs (BNE time) flying over that French Pacific "Provence" ( or whatever it is now referred to??). QF 016 is right up VA's rear. Looks like all ex-LAX and SFO flights to Australia - Delta, United also are behind schedule - must have those strong head winds???
5.45 pm Thursday BNE time! Just checked on your flight!!! Delayed at LAX for 35 minutes - your dinner prior to departure is NO EXCUSE for tardiness. Hope as punishment you are not put back in cargo??? As a certain "Pauline H" would say - "Please explain!"
Still saunaville - so much for that weather report of 90% rain for this 24 hours! Maybe you will bring some rain????? Please at least TRY.
Looking forward to a my own bed and shower
