A short while ago, there was a pole on here for the best airline. Singapore won it easily.
Cathay, Virgin, Malaysian and Emirates seem to have good reputations, if you want alternatives.

Re: Which Airline?
We flew Qantas in Feb & it was a nightmare. The abridged version involved a 5 hour wait on the tarmac at Heathrow with no food, no air con & no TV due to a 'lost' bag & some problem with power. Then on the return they tried to sit our 4 year old daughter two rows in front of us with a stranger...and we were on the plane before they sorted it. Awful & never again.
We fly out in September to stay..with Malaysian...taking advantage of their stopover package.

What stopover package?
I'm interested in spending a few days somewhere nice on the way. I have heard that some airlines do packages, but haven't started fully researching yet. What do Malaysian have to offer?

Re: Which Airline?
If you stop in KL on the way, they will give you a free return flight to somewhere else in Malaysia if you stay at one of the hotels in their brochure. And the hotels are pretty cheap. We're going to Langkawi for a week. Details are not posted on their website & we only found out about it through someone else - you have to phone them up & get a brochure.

Re: Which Airline?
Personally I'd fly Cathay, Qantas, Lauda/Austrian, possibly Malaysian at a push, or JAL if I could go Business Class again (free upgrade, don't know what Economy is like). 
For kids it sounds like Singapore are the way to go - that's who I'll recommend the family use when they visit, cos of reports from everyone else.
Emirates and BA belong in the same sentence as the words "not" "touch" and "barge-pole"!!!
