We arrived just under 6 hours late -- groggy and tired at 130am it then took my priority tagged bags 1 hour-- and |i woudl guess 90% of passengers had got bags and gone by this point.

Reason for delay-- at departure time captain said he had a small technical problem that shoul d take 15 min--, and true enough 15 min later he comes on to tsay we fixed the glitch but now the tug is broken down, shoul dbe 15 min or so-- and we then push back, taxi for about 5-7 min and stop for about 15 minutes, captain then comes on says there is problem with engine 3, and we have to go to the gate, that is where we sat and sat, fairly regular updates form the captain and we eventually left the gate at 3:42am-- 6hrs after the original departure time.

i have not yet written to voice my concern of this delay and not sure I even will . It seems the 380s are more prone to these type of delays.

Would you go for comp on this??
