Default which airline flies to Manchester now?

Hi I'm searching for which airlines fly direct to Manchester? ie not having to stop in London or Frankfurt -which has to be the worse leg of the journey! Oh from Melbourne and would like to go via Thailand or Malaysia or somewhere we can stop off and have a holiday (NOT AMERICA!!!)

Can anybody help?

I believe Malaysian have stopped their Manchester route and go from Heathrow instead.

I am not sure about this, but Singapore may have a stop in Frankfurt / Zurich ? - I remember stopping somewhere like that on the way back to MCR from Singapore, but staying on the plane. It was for about 45 minutes.

Emirates also fly out of Manchester - or they did at Christmas as friends came with them from there.

Certain days of the week Singapore Airlines fly direct from Manchester to Singapore, and other days with a stopover in Zurich. You'll just need to check nearer the time.
