Flights Departing Earlier and Delays

Hi All,
I've got a question for aviation experts in this community,
Why do flights depart earlier than what is stated on the Itinerary?
Another quick question I have to ask is who has had an experience flying with Malaysian Airlines? Flying from KUL to AKL on MH133...seems to be lots of delays for this flight.

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

A) Sometimes all the people are there before the scheduled departure so they can leave earlier. I haven't heard anyone complain about that before...
Everyone who has flown MH was either on 17 or 370. No one has experience except Where's Waldo.

Many flight usually get delayed mainly due to Weather, Congestion etc. I had flown business on Etihad Airways recently to Hong Kong and even thought the flight usually gets delayed by a an hour or so, My flight was an on time baby. We did experience some congestion over Iran and then over Bangladesh.

Sometimes it depends on ATC slots, if your security checks, fuelling, catering, boarding etc is finished early then you can always send a ready message to ATC and hopefully you can be pushed back sooner.

Weather, tech aircraft, delayed inbound or crew rest are the most common causes for delays in my case.

That was offensive, even to someone like me, Killer Keemstar.
