We have used Singapore once, Malaysian once and Emirates three times. We now will only go with Emirates.
I know some seem to have had a bad time with them but for us it has been great service and the best flight timings of all - take off Manchester 1pm - then take off Dubai at approx GMT 10 pm - body clock thinks it is night - sleep for a few hours and arrive Perth Teatime - Return leave Perth 10.30 pm - sleep for the long leg to Dubia - then breakfast and 7 hour flight back to Manchester for mid morning arrival.

LOL !! No toilets are fine now , it's the great white sharks in the sea , crocs in the rivers and huntsman spiders in his playgroup we're having to deal with now ! :scared:
He has become a superhero - spiderboy - and webs everything that moves ! It's very funny walking thru' the mall.
All the best to you, any other questions just ask,
Tass.x

Re: Cheap Emirates Flights
Oh and a handy hint - don't tell your 3 year old that if he's still sitting on the toilet on the plane when you flush it , it will "suck his bum out the windae !" . I found this developed a morbid fear of airplane toilets , in fact all toilets , for the rest of the journey and almost sent him into an acute retention ! One of my Bad parenting moments !
Brilliant - that just reminds me of how I feel on airplane loos ........ and I'm 34!!! Reminds me of the Peter Kay advert too ....... "it's alright darlin', it's not the boogie man in your wardrobe you need to worry about, it's the burgular coming through your window, now that's a worry" !!!!
My bad parenting moment came when I nearly broke my leg trying to get into my 8 year olds bedroom - messy is the understatement - I said to him, "do you know that snakes love to hide in messy rooms in Aus?" Oooppps!!! If only I could take it back, he's now very worried - maybe I should mention the toilet thing to take his mind off it ..... LOL :scared:
Cheers Sharon

We emigrated to Melbourne September 2002 with our kids, then aged 1 & 4. I can't speak highly enough of them, they were fantastic. Would definitely fly with them again.
Cheers, Paul.

Re: Cheap Emirates Flights
HI - flew with them yesterday. No idea why I'm on here and not asleep.
Planes were fine, enough leg room and the staff were nice - not OTT but better than I expected and the 3 x 7 hour flights were more user friendly than when we've flown BA and Quantas years ago.\\
They did bugger up the bassinet situation for a lovely family and they ended up doing the middle flight with their baby on their lap and the last separated so they could use the bassinet. Other people were claiming those spaces because of bad backs, etc.\
This also happened to us with BA between Cairns and Brisbane but managed to persuade someone else to shift on the next one to Singapore.\\If you need a bassinet when flying get it in triplicate that your seats are reserved.\\\\
Otherwise our flights were good - happy to recommend.
