The O'Neills

The Q? is in the title, who did you fly to Oz with, were they any good and why?

We flew to Singapore with BA - night-time flight that was empty so we got to lie down and sleep. That was great.

We flew Singapore to Darwin with Qantas and they were fantastic. Very freindly and welcoming and they couldn't do enough for us.

We flew Tokyo to Heathrow with BA - and absolute hell on earth of a flight!!!! Stuffed in like cattle - freezing cold, no food and couldn't get an attendant for a drink! - nightmare.

Please share your experience 'cos we will be booking again soon and I want to balance price with comfort.

Thanks

Usually Malaysian or Singapore.

Slightly prefer Malaysian as they have more leg room.

Flew Qantas a few weeks ago and they were really good.....on a par with Singapore IMO.

Depends on where you fly from.......Only Singapore and Emirates fly from Manchester and only Emirates from several regional airports.

All others need a connection via Heathrow or Europe.

Have tried JAL, Malaysian, Thai, Singapore, BA, Emirates and Qantas over the years and I still keep on coming back to Qantas. Also, now I belong to the Frequent Flyer program and have my credit card attached I rack up the miles without too much effort and dont spend more than I was going to spend on anything anyway.

We used Emirates , never used any other so a bit hard to compare but they were fab, friendly , plenty leg room and brilliant ice system for the kids oh and you get stainless knifes and forks lol.food not bad too.

I found

Air Tahiti Nui the best I’ve been with, it’s what an airline should be!

Etihad and Malaysian were great

Singapore and BA equal, good but not the best

United Airlines ok, but expected better.

Air New Zealand, would never in my life fly them again, so uncomfortable, terrible service and rude staff.

Qantas a joke every time I’ve flown them.

American Airlines and Lufthansa the worst! (had them for half the trip once)

My flight back to Europe next year is with Qantas (hate that bit) and Austrian Airlines – no idea what they are like, but heard not the best.... but hey, for $850 for the ticket, I can’t complain or expect much.

Agree 100% with you about BA, we flew from Sydney to London with them in March and it was a living hell: cabin crew generally ignored you if you pressed the call button, plus the meals in our section were served late cos the microwaves broke down, we were getting served when everyone else had finished! The economy fare entertainment system was absolutely dire, there weren't even any sort of games at all if you weren't interested in their poor selection of movies, and I realised belatedly that my movie kept restarting because someone nearby was using a laptop. It was also cold and cramped. And I won't mention the malarky with the people sitting in front of us, since that's technically not BA's fault!!

Flew back to Oz last month with Malaysia Airlines, lots of space, really friendly helpful staff, nice food and good entertainment system.

Would also recommend Emirates, have flown with them in the past and they are also a top rate airline, I also think they have a very luxurious ambience: even though you're flying econony you feel very pampered!!

Good luck with whoever you choose!

Singapore shades it over Emirates for me.

Emirates if you are in economy as their entertainment systenm is great and they are good with kids. BA if you are business, their entertainment is not so good as Emirates but seats are more comfy. Qantas for first class and to rack up the airmiles,with lie-flat beds and great amenity kit.

Thanks y'all,

We will be flying lower class - canny afford the business and first that I know some of you lucky pumpkins get to fly.

Looks like Emirates is winning at the mo, should have done a poll!

We are flying with EVA airways. They appear very good from what I have found out and I understand you get more leg room and they are the cheapest Book early tho

Once we fly we will let you all know but will not be ale to compare
