Well done to Singapore Airlines! We were delayed by over 2 hours flying out of Sydney due to the storm (the airport had been closed). This meant that all connecting flights at Singapore were in jeopardy. There were 20 passengers on the flight who were going to Manchester so they delayed that connecting flight by over an hour for the incoming passengers. The impressive thing was that our bags still made it aboard the connecting flight. They must’ve worked really hard to get that done – it would’ve cost them a bit to sort it out with follow-ups otherwise. (BTW, we got a call from the airline a couple of days before flying to see if we wanted to upgrade to business on the first leg - $499 pp, did it, was worth it – got the new flatbed in a significant overnight section, although, not the 14 hour flight.)
Then we used our fly ahead option with Aer Lingus (whose flight when originally booked had been earlier than it ended up being scheduled, so our wait time was going to be five and a half hours. Instead, we arrived late to Manchester, and still made the 11:40am flight and didn’t have to wait for the 1:55pm flight. So glad, as traffic into Dublin was atrocious, and we arrived only a little earlier than the original scheduling would’ve had us arriving anyway.
