We've flown Qantas a few times and the last time we flew I found them better than BA, yes you get the movies and games. the food was edible - even my eldest who says he hates airline food ate his meals - it was all included, not sure about the baggage though. I found flights for £580 - end of march on ebookers think with Malysian

There should not be such a huge disparity unless you are costing business or first class.

Either you are travelling on premium dates and should change the days slightly or checking some mighty odd websites.

Have a look at www.airlinenetwork.co.uk or surprisingly www.expedia.co.uk is also v keen nowadays.

Qantas is a good airline generally speaking and codeshare with BA so if you look there is every chance you will actually be on a BA plane. You can check out every airline with photos and everything of seats at www.airlinequality.com

hey, we flew quantas last year and are flying them again at the end of march when we finally make the move yes there are TVs in the abck of the seats and also quite a few choices on it... they are great and would recommend them

I personally wouldn't fly with Quantas....they have all the facilities as the other airlines, but their service and staff are appalling.

Just my opinion though.... I've had some bad experiences with them!

Those flight prices look a tad on the high side

QUANTAS? Never heard of them.
Qantas - prefer to fly with others rather than them - surly staff. Recommend Malaysia.

Have flown with Quantas but would recommend Emirates far better try trailfinders or travel bag in manchester for prices

Quantas....not bad but we prefer to pay the little extra and fly Singapore Airlines....not much difference in the flight price that we have found but for a long haul flight.....well worth it

QANTAS used to be brilliant - until they hooked up with BA. If you do choose QANTAS, ask for confirmation that you will be on one of their planes and not one of BA's. I am a Life Member of QANTAS with full use of the lounges, etc, etc - all the fruit basically. I fly with Singapore Airlines every time!!

I have flown Qantas on a number of occassions and my opinion is that you can travel with a better airline. Intenally they are good however when it comes to international they are poor. I am due to leave UK for Melbourne in March and have decided to fly Singapore airlines as they are far superior. I would also recommend Malaysian airlines if Singapore comes out slightly more expensive.

As for prices I am paying £584 (one way) and includes double allowance as this was requested when booking the flight.

Good luck.

what is it they say about qantas...Quite A Nice Trip All Survived....lol planes are pretty knackered...

I'm flying to Melbourne with Emirates from London on 7th April returning 21st April. I got my flights for 1 adult and 1 child for £1,100 from www.travelsupermarket.co.uk the actual website was www.opodo.co.uk.
I actually live near to Manchester airport, but they wanted excess of £400 to fly straight through. So, I have opted to go with BA from Manchester to London costing £150 return. More spending money for me in Aus!
Maybe this is an option for you?

Would def recommend EMIRATES!!
Much better sevice-excellent entertainment on every seat back and as it has 3 stops usually-you get to lay out on the whole row if not busy!!
Chris-

meh I dont believe you all I flew qantas last year and they were perfect... using them again!

We have just booked to go from Manchester to Perth on 2nd March with Singapore Airlines - one way - £487 inc taxes etc each, there is two of us.

I found the prices on the various web sites, and went into our local travel agent and they matched the price, so easier than trying to book over the internet, as we could ask questions face to face.

We have only got a 457 sponsored visa for 4 years, so because we are not totally emigrating, we could only get the 20kg baggage allowance. If we could show the emigrating visa we would have got double.
