Australia Flights
The price of flights to Sydney from Dubai is making my eyes bleed.
7000 - 8000 with Qantas / Emirates.
Does anyone have any suggestions on better (cheaper) alternatives? For example I considered flying Emirates to Singapore then FlyScoot to Sydney but the 1500 saving doesnt justify the crappy layover ball-ache.
Looking to go around the end of September for 2 weeks should it matter.

Re: Australia Flights
I just booked the family home for Summer.
Cost approx 6000dhs adult Direct to Melbourne (14hrs)
That was via Expedia on Emirates.
Let me know if you can ever get cheaper than that.
I hoped the Qantas partnership would have brought a few specials out, but alas it seems the price gouging has continued twofold.

Cathay goes through Honkers, and I ain't doing that with a 2.5yo and 0.6yo.
The ipad batteries wont last that long, and I'll be stonkered.

Re: Australia Flights
You get USB ports on the back of the seats in Emirates (presumably Cathay as well) - so you could charge their ipads during the flight.

Re: Australia Flights
Go from Muscat, via Dubai. AED 5,400. Have a nice weekend in Muscat some time over the summer then fly back to Dubai and do a stop-over until end September. Then fly to Sydney. Then fly back and have another stop-over in Dubai until the next time you fancy a weekend in Muscat.
