Re: Singapore airlines $1488 fare to London
Yoi are totally wrong. If you are connecting at Changi, your luggage is booked through to your destination, you have no access to your bags. You can clear immigration/customs and leave the airport at will. I did this on stopovers there last July and December with no problems whatsoever.
Spoke to SQ today and slightly ambiguous! Firstly they said I had no probs leaving airport as on Aus passport but could be an issue for OH on British one - what a load of b0770cks I believe. No UK passport issues in I believe.
They also said when we check in Perth, checkin right through to LHR. When we get to SIN just g through immigration. Then when we return to the airport, do not go back to the normal check-in desks but go straight to security to get airside armed with boarding cards (issued in Perth) and passports. Basically exactly as yo would had you gone through check-in desk.
Does this tie in with your experiences?
I agree defo wrong you have to stay with luggage - when we lived in UK near LGW, we used to get there 2 hours before, checkin and drop bags then go home agin until half hour before flight!
Thanks

Ok guys. I've quoted you rather than those who think to the contrary in the hope you are correct.

Re: Singapore airlines $1488 fare to London
Are all these bargain flights gone now? I can't find anything from Perth to Scotland (ABZ) under $1800 - and most are well over 2k
Unless any of you know different........
We were hoping to go back for 3 weeks in July.

Anyhow just checked Emirates Perth to Glasgow (not sure which Airport you wanted) 3 weeks in July and they still have a few dates at $1581.72 but I would expect these to be gone by maybe tomorrow or the day after, I've been watching the days disappearing daily

Re: Singapore airlines $1488 fare to London
If you are searching for flights to ABZ that is probably part of your problem as the flights will have to be combined with a connection onto (probably) bmi and this will increase the price. $1800 is a good fare to ABZ but you will probably find on the same dates you can get the sale fare to London or Glasgow (if you're talking about Emirates).

Re: Singapore airlines $1488 fare to London
Been eagle eyed for this type of thread since as I bought some Michael Jackson Concert tickets for 24th July & 1st Aug in London, so was chuffed to bits when I saw this link, I have bought 4 flights, back to Manchester from Brisbane for myself and 3 kids so we can see the legend, extravigent I know, Staying for 3 weeks, except one of my children who is staying for the full 3 months. Elder children are really missing their friends, so a good opportunity for them to spend some time with their mates, while me I am looking forward to buying some good quality clothes, especially Jane Norman & Next, and some good underware & nightware from M & S & British Homestores.
