AI arrival time reliability

Hi.

I've just booked a couple of flights - FRA - MEL for later this year.

I need to book some connecting flights from MEL - any idea where I can get some international flight arrival time reliability figures for AI?

We arrive MEL 09.50 so I'm planning, at the moment, to book an onward flight around 13.00 or so. Any thoughts? If the flight arrives on time it gives us 3h to collect bags / clear immigration / security and wander across to departures.

Many thanks

Why are you booking the connecting flight separately? That was you have no protection in case of delay.

It would be best to book the connecting flight the following day.

AI do not, as far as I am aware, do connecting flights in Australia. You buy a ticket to either SYD or MEL. If you want to fly on to BNE, then you have to book this separately.

If we had more time then yes, we would have an overnight in Melbourne. We plan to do just this on the return journey.

For this part of the trip we need to get to Brisbane reasonably quickly.

So - any idea where I can get some international flight arrival time reliability figures for AI?


Thanks

i have found their international flight arrival time reliability to be quite good....but just to be on the safe side i would keep a 4 hour time difference for my next connecting flight....
