Couldn't get that insurance as I am travelling with my father who is "too old". No morning flight to Perth with QF the next day (of course it is the only day of the week they don't fly SIN-PER am) so I am just going to hope for the best and explore other insurance possibilities.

The connection time is 1 hr 20 mins so should be ample unless the aircraft is operiationally delayed for over an hour in the UK. Saying that on the A380 you would think there would be at least 20-30 pax transferring to the connecting PER flight at SIN. Does anyone know if they will hold the PER flight in SIN for a short time for these passengers? I would imagine having to rebook 30+ pax is a hassle though cost associated with delays are obviously not good either

Cheers guys really appreciate any help.
