We flew with Emirates last year...............Fantastic!! we booked through Dial a Flight, do a search on the net for them, they are really helpful and will be able to answer all your questions.
We had to be at the airport 3.5hours before departure, but the time flies.
All the best with your new life on the Gold Coast!!!

Re: emirates ??????
I would check with the agent, I believe all UK-Brisbane flights stop both at Dubai and at Singapore. The Singapore stop isn't always 'noticeable' in online bookings.

Re: emirates ??????
Get there as early as you possibly can. The queues are much easier earlier on and you have a better chance of negotiating seats (although please don't negotiate the bassinet seats away from people with babies) and blagging extra baggage (or at least reorganising your baggage when you have too much hand luggage - been there done that).
The flights with Emirates are fine unless you get someone very restless in front of you or someone talking over you from the aisle. We stopped for only an hour at Singapore and the kids got off with a friend and I stayed on board to reorganise the luggage and have half an hour without the kids. Bliss.

I can't answer your questions about booking etc.., but I can definitely recommend Emirates as an airline. I have tried to use them wherever possible in the last few years and they are always a pleasure to fly with - the food even in economy is first class !
cheers

HI,
We flew with emirates last month and they were fantastic. We only had 1 stop in Dubai for just over an hr and then all the way to Brisbane. We were me, hubby and 2 kids aged 12 and 7. It was great, kids stayed in seats no probs really comfortable, loads of games and films to choose from.

Well at least if you plan it right you can do the trip to Oz in no longer than 7 hour flights - London - Dubai - Singapore - Brisbane/Sydney/Melbourne.
The aircraft UK to Dubai is far superior to the planes from Dubai to Singapore/Oz - not that there is anything wrong with them but just enjoy the first leg
I think the precheckin depends on the airport and whether you are checking in with kids - suggest you call emirates at relevant airport - think also it is limited to 10 hours prior - but cant remember back
