Bed bugs force Qantas to cancel Rome-Perth flight (smh.com.au)

Bed bugs forced the cancellation of a Qantas flight from Rome to Perth on October 12, delaying passengers by up to 48 hours. Passengers on the earlier QF5 journey from Perth to Rome on October 9 reported bites, and the return flight was grounded for a deep clean of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The airline apologized and rebooked travelers on alternative flights, while noting aircraft are disinfected every 50 days.
