The A380 is starting SIN - MEL from 30th Sept according to the billboard I saw at the airport today. :thumbup:

Does anybody know what the charges are for extra weight?

US$60/kg (UK - Aus)! :eek:

Re: Singapore Airlines or Emirates - who should we fly with?
 

I think with SIA from LHR it's around £30 per kilo and from Singapore l was told it's around £14 per kilo, however i'm sure there is someone who will have the exact figures for you as mine are from the deep depths of my memory following a phonecall about a month ago.

l was told that if l strayed a little over the 20kg then l should be okay at LHR, so l'm aiming to try and get around 23kg, plus 7kg of hand baggage. :fingerscrossed:

If you are on a PR visa which has not been validated then SIA will give you 40kg l believe.

Can i change our leg from sing to melly for a A380?:o:rofl:

Re: Singapore Airlines or Emirates - who should we fly with?
 

MEL is now serviced by the A380 on QS228/SQ227 and a B777-300ER on SQ218/217 which both have the new economy class seating so essentially are the same.

SQ238 and SQ237 are operated by a crap old regional config B777-300 still. Avoid this flight.

It was the 30kg plus the free golf clubs plus the flights were cheaper than Singapore!! Booking them this week! :thumbup:

Only question is whether to book single or a return with return for next summer so I can come back & see my partner in the summer? Looking at the cost of booking flights from Oz I think the return is the best option!?

From what I regularly read on here, flights are much more expensive when booked in Oz, so an open return and then a single back to Oz (booked in the UK) is probably the cheapest option.

That's what I'm a thinking!! :thumbup:

Re: Singapore Airlines or Emirates - who should we fly with?
 

Flights booked with SA yesterday. £1181 for the 3 of us flying from Heathrow to Singapore and then on to Perth on the 3rd June 2010. Now the count down begins! :eek::eek::eek:

Terrified but also really excited! :thumbsup:

Re: Singapore Airlines or Emirates - who should we fly with?
 

We're still waiting for our visa so unfortunately it looks like we'll not be flying with Singapore Airlines as last time we looked they appeared to be fully booked for a while.

Where will you guys be flying to Cooler? Been thinking about you guys too. Now that Paul has his visa, where's yours!?! :frown:

Re: Singapore Airlines or Emirates - who should we fly with?
 

We're going to Adelaide if we ever get our visa:frown: Less options than some but I have found some interesting routes - NZ Airlines fly via LA and then via Aukland to Adelaide. That's some flying, know someone who did it :blink:

The problem with the 'delay' on the visa is that it is going to cost us money:(

If it came to it could you not fly somewhere such as Melbourne and make the domestic flight? Or take a road trip ? (When I say road trip.... I have no idea how far that is and how long it would take you - just thinking out load)

:)

Re: Singapore Airlines or Emirates - who should we fly with?
 

Funny, been think along those lines. It depends when we can go as some days are very expensive with some airlines.

We really thought we'd be away ages ago:(
