FYI the two remaining KA departures of the day from PEK (990 and 975) are cancelled and passengers rebooked onto my flight (993). Any reasons why and how can they accommodate that much cancelled pax into a 333?
Nope... Never got a voucher in PEK... Last time I got a meal box for 901 AOG and subsequently need to use the 908 aircraft to fly 901 i.e. 4 hours delay... (and 992 for 909... one of 993 and 903 was cancelled... and one of 904/6 was cancelled as well)...
I think you mean 903? Loading must be very light tonight then...
It's not rare for 974/5 be cancelled if loading is not heavy as it's usually 320 and for 974 pax can easily be put on 902 or 5312... But in that case 903 will usually delay for an hour to pick up the 975 passengers (so I tend to avoid 903)
Rare to have 993 delay for an hour but then have 975 cancelled as well...
p.s. End up 993 took off at 2032
p.p.s. Not just 902 and 974... 5312 to PEK is severely delayed as well....
