Agree they should have sent another one once it was further delayed.

Why weren't people able to utilise the vouchers?
I think it was a replacement aircraft, rather than the one that had to return to Melbourne ( but I’m not certain; if it’s the case then they knew exactlly when it would be arriving BKK).
Regarding the voucher...the checkin queue took well over an hour ( 2 staff working, then increased to 3...I guess many people had connection issues); also, immigration took 45 minutes, coinciding with a whole string of LCC departures to India, China, Korea.
