So you're grounded in SYD for another day, and then trying tomorrow?

Hopefully BA will look first to Oneworld chum and IAG stakeholder Qatar Airways, as QR runs daily SYD-DOH-LHR flights. If they stick with Oneworld then MH and JAL would be good bets, given the CX option is out now that HKG is also transit-free.
