AF flight delay peculiar
So I'm flying AF259 CGK SIN tomm and I was checking its OTP as I usually do and I found that last Tuesday on the 21st the flight left 45m behind schedule (nothing strange) but took 2h47m for a flight that normally takes 1h30m at most. Anyone have an answer? All AF says on their website is "technical issues".

There could be all sorts of reasons ranging from weather (large diversion around severe thunderstorms), airspace restrictions (eg due to military traffic), congestion at SIN (either in the air or on the ground), error in logging the arrival (only logged much later than actually arrived), etc.

As this is peculiar to an AF flight, let me move it to that forum for more discussion. Ocn Vw 1K, Moderator, TravelBuzz.
