hi were looking at flights to move to oz in july.we live in northants and idealy we would like to go from birmingham.It works out £270 more than going from london.Also from birmingham theres no stops.Do you think its better to have a stopover or not thanksx

Stopover gets my vote!! We flew London to Brisbane last year with an overnight stay in Kuala Lumpur, at the airport hotel.....brilliant.

When we emigrate, hopefully in June, we would like to fly from Birmingham to Brisbane. Emirates are the only airline, that im aware of, that flies from Birmingham to Australia. You can have a stopover with them, but you wont be allowed the extra baggage allowance as its one or the other im afraid personally id like both!!! C x

thanks have you any idea how much luggage allowance you loosex

Hi I'd vote for the stop over too, less jet lag then!! Know also as OP said only one or other not stopover and extra baggage so we were told recently by Emirates! Help!!!! Good luck.

You just get the standard 20kgs if you go with the stopover........... C x

Remember you get 46kg each if you fly via the USA.

Buzzy

thanksx

I'm sure all flights stop to refuel somewhere.. They did try to do perth to london a few years back, but with only a hour of fuel left at the end it was decided it was too risky.

i heard about it on here and did a search and emirates do it birmingham to perth just not sure what to dox
