Oh God, A Qantas Plane Hoofing It From Syd To The Philippines Chucked A Uey 3 Hrs Into The Flight

It brings me extreme displeasure to announce that a Qantas plane heading from Sydney to the Philippines on New Year’s Day had to turn around mid-flight ‘cos of a power cut at Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport. I genuinely cannot believe this is the second story about a plane leaving Australia and chucking a uey back home that I’ve written in the past week. I long for the days when planes simply landed where they were meant to. Unlike the Jetstar flight — which unsuccessfully hoofed it from Melbourne to Bali ‘cos the airline decided to use a bigger plane without gaining approval from Indonesian authorities — this wee situation wasn’t Qantas’ fault. Per the ABC

According to news.com.au, folks were three hours into their eight-hour journey when the pilot broke the news that they’d have to scoot back to Sydney.

I truly would not want to be a fly on the wall of that Airbus A330 when the pilot said they’d be pulling an angry Dad and turning back around. I’m imagining lots of folks letting out aggressive sighs and crossing their arms, then deciding to order another seven beers and watch Minions: The Rise of Gru.
