Re: Flights
its probably because bmi and singapore airlines aren't in the same airline alliance
singapore also fly from manchester to adelaide if thats any easier for you than heathrow (its certainly less stressful to check in etc there on the day!), maybe also from glasgow we've done the trip from yorkshire to adelaide a number of times and usually use manchester airport. last year we got a good deal from klm/malaysian airlines flying from humberside airport to adelaide, change in amsterdam ebookers and lastminute.com often bring up cheaper flight prices than expedia |

Thats interesting with Singapore from Teeside to Adelaide its £3250 ish
From LHR to Adelaide its £608 and I can get a BMI connection for £48, which is the same plane that i'd be on if I went with the £3k+ fare??:confused: I have been talking to Trailfinders and they seem to access a :Ddifferent system which comes up with a through ticket nearer the price of the two separate tickets. Worth a call. www.trailfinders.com and click on contact us for the Newcastle office. Kevin |

We have found the same problem from Edinburgh. Something to bear in mind though is if you do not have one ticket from Teeside to Adelaide you will not be able to check your luggage through, which means you have checkin again in LHR, (BMI Website).

You do if you go via the US.....everybody does. I came via LA and Auckland on Air New Zealand on a 457 visa with 46kg baggage allowance.
Yes, North American airlines have far more generous baggage allowances, even for regular economy class travellers. |
Re: Flights
Everyone looking for a flight should go on a comparison website such as http://www.travelsupermarket.com , so much easier than ringing up or going on several different websites.
