The Daily Telegraph reports
AN international airline crisis couldn't keep Sarah Jessica Parker away from visiting Australia for the first time.
The Sex And The City superstar touched down in Melbourne this morning after her flight was changed from Qantas to Emirates at the eleventh hour last night.
The 46-year-old, who is travelling without her family, arrived with a personal entourage of seven and headed straight to her suite at Crown Casino.
She will skip the Cup tomorrow to attend at a press conference for her new romcom I Don't Know How She Does It before attending Oaks Day on Thursday.
The fashion icon was looking decidedly un-Carrie upon arrival as she climbed from her plane and into a waiting limo wearing a black and white long-sleeved cotton T-shirt, lumpy grey woollen wrap and loose hair.

With her world-class fashion entourage at hand, we can expect a major transformation before her press conference tomorrow.
The Qantas shutdown also stranded a slew of other celebrities due to touch down in Australia this week.
But thanks to some quick-thinking tour managers and publicists - not to mention corporate credit cards capable of taking a $25,000 first class airfare - most of them made it into the air at last.
This is how the flight schedule for the big stars en route to Oz is faring:
Kim and Khloe Kardashian
Not due to leave New York until tonight, the ubiquitous reality TV sisters are on standby, with organisers of their Sydney trip hoping Qantas will revoke its flight freeze in time.
A "plan B'' is ready to be put into action.
The pair are to attend a party at Hugo's in Kings Cross on Wednesday night.
Joan Collins
The Golden Globe winner is due to appear at Melbourne Town Hall on Wednesday night for her A Night With Joan sell-out show, which is an intimate and anecdotal retelling of her life.
"Everything is on track,'' a source said yesterday. She will appear at Oaks Day on Thursday and in Sydney next Tuesday.
Sharni Vinson
The former Home And Away star is one lucky gal, having flown in from her LA home early to visit family. She was renegotiating her Qantas flight to Melbourne from Brisbane to attend the Swisse Marquee at tomorrow's Melbourne Cup.
Kings of Leon
Stranded in South Africa last night, where they were touring, the Tennessee rockers were hoping to get into Sydney early for a few days off before their first of nine Australian tour kicks off on Friday night at Allphones Arena.
The tour was originally slated for March but was pushed back after drummer Nathan Followill had surgery on a torn bicep, so a second postponement would be disastrous for fans.
