31 Jan 2011 : A lot SQ flights out of Sin delayed

[feb01mel]

Anyone flew out of SIN this morning from 9-11am on SQ? It seems most SQ flights are delayed, some over 1-2 hours.

[Kyo]

Came in at 6:15, rain was pouring down heavily, but had one of the smoothest landings I've had in the past year - full credit to the pilot! Suppose weather was to blame?

I heard SIN has been raining non stop the past few days.

I am in PEK now.

Not just SQ flights but MI and some others as well. Delayed by 45 mins to over an houre

Yesterday's SQ603 arrival was delayed by 2 hours

Whoa, just missed you (probably flew right by each other). PEK was freezing on Sat, and slightly better on Sun. feb01mel, would you mind if I ask you to pick something up for me that I left at my hotel last night back to Singapore? (was rushing for a taxi)

A friend of mine flew out of SIN today, apparently his flight was struck by lightning (wing) and had to return to SIN...

Not sure if he was flying SQ, as I neglected to ask

Saw your PM.. you are in luck, I am staying just at the Peninsula, please check your PM, I need more details before collecting on your behalf.

Hmm... Aren't planes suppose to be able to cope with lightning strikes.

Is this anything to do with cyclone Bianca?

Severe Tropical Cyclone Bianca continues to move in a southwest direction away from the northwest.

Heading down to Perth the last I heard.

Yep, butterfly effect.

Yes - but usually a good idea to get down expediently. One's luck only goes so far.

[Gunners]

Cyclone Yasi bearing down on Aus is going to dirupt flights somewhat.

Not good news for Queensland!

Cyclone Yasi, due to hit the Australian coast as early as Wednesday, is being described as a "deadly event" (its about 500km in size) and will be the second to hit Queensland this week. The first cyclone, Cyclone Anthony weakened quickly after hitting land on Monday morning.

SQ21/22 cancelled for tomorrow (3/2)
