Sorry no, the codes only work for flights originating in MEL and SYD. Maybe search www.google.co.uk for emirates promo codes. Someboddy on here posted a code asscoiated with Arsenal football club s while ago but it was only 3% discount. I think it was UKARS01 or similar.

Make sure you get an A380. I've done it a few times now and they kick ass over the 747's. Quieter, more room, more comfort, better entertainment.
I recommend trying to get a good price by booking separate legs. Even mixing up airlines. Say Bris - Sing return then Sing - Manc return

Re: Best Airline to fly with back to the UK
We are going back to the UK for a month next year (we've been back a few times), we normally fly with Qantas (for the FF points), but they are way more expensive than everybody else and the price isn't worth the FF points. We are going to be flying into Manchester and if anybody can tell me what airline they flew with and if it was good (well as good as it can be for such a long flight)

Re: Best Airline to fly with back to the UK
I flew to Manc in May with Qatar Airways. They were great and flew straight to Doha, change planes in a stop over of about an hour, and then straight to Manchester.
Food was as good as Ive had on a plane and the staff were excellent.
Coming back the first leg of the flight was half empty and it wasnt full from Doha to Melbourne either. Didnt get to see much of Doha airport as it was pretty much straight off one plane and onto the next.
I have flown with Emirates/Singapore/BA/Qantas and, ahem, Olympic Airways (RIP - not missed) and Qatar were the best Ive been with.

Re: Best Airline to fly with back to the UK
Qatar won Airline of the Year 2012 I think. Friends have used them and said they are really good as long as you make sure you have a short layover as Doha airport is dull.
