We finally left DFW at 02.30am Sunday morning on the Qantas 747! Only a 15 hours and 40 minutes flight!. Amazing that there were only 60 people in economy (coach) so we were able to have a row each for a good sleep. Qantas had accommodated and fed us at the Hyatt Regency at DFW so we were very well looked after. They even had a staff member stay in the hotel to keep us posted with the latest news. We are now sat in lounge at Brisbane for 3 hours waiting for our flight up to Cairns (2 hour flight).
Andi and Doug, sorry to hear of your troubles, our delay was easy compared to what you have been through. By the way the weather here in Brisbane is beautiful! See you again soon.
