I wonder why I couldn't find my posting in the archive under Air Paradise. I had to do a seach for you.
Anyway, they said it was because of maintenance on their aircrafts at the last min. They only had 2 in operation! They were ok though as they put us up at a nice hotel. We were very ready to come back though and it was a shame as we had to fly to Sydney first and the Qantas flight they allocated for us back to Melbourne got delayed too! When I wrote in to complain, they gave us a bit of compensation and were very nice about it all.
It was just a bit slack that we only found out in the bus. They were excellent otherwise and luckily we were only stuck for 24 hrs and another 6 in Sydney. Ample food/drinks and great service on the flight.
Don't worry though. I haven't heard other people's flights being delayed like this. You are so lucky you're going. I am absolutely dying to go back but my partner doesn't get leave till next year and we wasted this year's trip on Fiji which was no way as close in comparison (pretty c..r..p actually)
