Well, I'm sitting in the CX lounge at YVR. It's 0320a local and the CX889 is running two and a half hours late... they're estimating departure at 0510a. So we will have pulled an all-nighter, then start an 11-hour flight...

And I have already been deemed to have missed my onward HKG-SYD and given a BP for the CX111, 705p departure, which means an unwanted 10-hour daytime layover followed by another overnight flight. I'm not really a terribly happy camper right now.

Looking at the flight status boards it appears this is all a knock-on from the CX888 getting away from HKG about two hours late yesterday. The whole 888/889 itin's been running late since the word go. Was there weather in Hong Kong?

FWIW, the check-in staff here at YVR was pretty hopeless tonight working on missed/endangered connections... kind of frustrating. Lounge staff very nice and competent though.

Sleepy...
