QF10 8th November

Not sure what has been going on but glad I'm not on QF 10 tonight. It left LHR 90 mins late and returned nearly 3 hours later. Feeling my EK flight from LHR-DXB may be busier tonight.

Aircraft have a lot of parts and operators have exceptionally high safety standards. Stuff goes wrong and aircraft turn back to the point of origin!

What do you mean "returned"?
I was on QF10 ex LHR Nov 8.

We pushed back from the gate and while they were doing their last checks, one of the sensors on the rear cargo door was claiming it wasn't shut. As the aircraft would not pressurize while it thought a door was open, we went back to a gate (taxied around to another gate as the departing gate had been taken by the arriving QF9). We sat there for 90 mins while the engineers fixed the problem. Arriving DXB 0150 (meaning I had to skip the lounge and go right to my connection ) We never returned to LHR.
