I was curious to see if our DXB and JNB flights got out last night. They both departed, with only about 130 pax, but both pushed very late, and then they both taxied for about 1.5-2hrs before getting airborne. There couldn't have been that much traffic going out at 10-11pm, was there a lineup for the deice pad?

The DXB didn't get off the ground until 02:30! Yikes!
