who are u flying with??
hey everyone havn,t been on here for ages but today we accepted an offer on our house!!!!!!!!!!!! horray!!!!!!!!!
so anyway we went to enquire about flight prices and i wanted to go with BA but my bro in law (done loads of flying) says that singapore is as good as BA then the travel agent says singapore has just been voted the best and they quoted half the price of BA. so looks like were going to going with singapore, providing house all goes through ok should be touching down in gods country sometime in november!!!!!!!!!!!!

BA are pants ( I work in long haul travel and have also had my own personal disasters with them). We are flying Cathay via HKG when we go. IMO they are one of the best. Great crew, nice modern fleet, decent food and HK is great for a stopover.

in the past we have used BA, Emirates and Singapore and we think Singapore are by far the best. Ample legroom, good food, movies on demand and nintendo games system.

Hi Lucy
we are just trying to sort our flights and decided on Cathay [never used them before] so thanks for the tips. We are hopefully going to stay in Hong Kong for a week but having a prob. trying to find a hotel room that will accomodate 2 ad and 2 children! otherwise we will have to book 2 seperate rooms

Re: who are u flying with??
Hello!
I'm flying to Perth in december on....wait for it..........Brittania!!!
it was cheap so i grabbed the flight, but thinking about it now i may well need to pack some pasties and a good book for the flight, according to Austravel it's not even a Jumbo Jet but a 757 and it stops twice for fuel but we can't get out of the plane!
should be fun!

Malaysia airlines for us, got good price from www.austravel.com seat pitch 34".
We fly in 2 weeks for validation trip, so will report if flight is rubbish, but we have heard good reports about them and Singapore and emirates.
BA pack up your sarnies in an old kit bag and fly fly fly
