Just booked flights to Oz - gulp!
Booked last night to fly on 28th October with Qantas to Sydney 
. Considered China Eastern Airways (briefly....) as they were so cheap but decided to go elsewhere after various peoples thoughts on them. 
Wanted Malaysian which were doing them for £407 each but the prices dissappeared before our eyes!!!! Who booked them, come on - own up LOL
Ended up going with Qantas for £460 each
So that's it!! We're really going !!!! :scared:

Hi Graham,
Have a safe trip. I considered Chinese airlines as well but didn't fancy stepping over the cooking fires to reach the loo.
Can I ask who you booked with? Is that non stop?

Did consider stopping for a few days/a week as we absolutely LOVE SE Asia, but decided we'd not enjoy it as much as we'd just be wanting to 'get there' if you know what I mean.
