Just thought it would be a fun thing to do when you arrive! Lots of luck with your travels. I've flown Royal Brunei and Air NZ between UK and Oz. No real complaints BUT neither had personal TV/movies - was a big screen; and Air NZ had heaps more leg room in Economy (and the food was probably a wee bit better). I've heard lots of good things about Singapore airlines so that might be teh way to go?

Whereabouts in Bris? Have you got schools lined up?

( from everything that we are taking!) spent yesterday morning in a village hall cleaning out the tent! Anyone got any tips on who to fly with looking in to booking flights ASAP but need to know how much my employers are going to hammer me for courses that I've been on, and will have to pay back!!!! before I know how many holiday I have left to book off, will find out Monday! We have been going from deep doubts as to what we are doing to total panic two kids ten & eight worrying about schools and the fact that they don't really understand where we are going anybody else going through the same?
Of course we have good feeling about it as well so I suppose its only natural to be worried.

We fly with them to Aus previously and they were great really friendly staff and shiny service all round. It's natural to have doubts - just shows you've thought it through! I would say you are definately doing the right thing, esp for your kids - they'll love it!

Good luck and hopefuly see you in a Bris meet up this year!
