CX 829 on 1 February 2019:
Scheduled departure: 01:20
Delay notification sent to passengers: 00:01 (that's why we were upset because CX could have sent out notification before passengers were headed to the airport; almost all passengers have arrived at the airport before the notification was sent out and received difference information from ground crew about flight reschedule)
Re-scheduled departure: 10:50 (due to pilot sickness; we were first told that the flight would be rescheduled for 06:00 and then was told that it would be scheduled for 09:00, but in the end, it was scheduled to 10:50)
Check-in open for the delayed flight: 06:00 (we were asked to report to the check-in counter between 05:00 and 06:00 in order to check in for the delayed flight to secure a seat; there was a snow storm in GTA so that means we were stuck in the airport from 23:00 to 10:50)
Actual departure: About an hour's delay (unknown reason)
Scheduled arrival: 15:31 +1
Actual arrival: About 1 hour's delay
