Don't know what airlines you've used...but Singapore are fab - flown with Emirates too...they are good, but SA are better (in my opinion...before someones jumps on me)

totally agree

flown with both and both are quite similar
however SA wins on the flight durations
roughly half way to aus so you do 2x 11 hr flights quick spash in the gym at Singapore Airlines and your off agian

Emirates however go via dubia and as its only a third of the way there you end up doing 1 x 8 hr flight and 1 x 14 hr flight
