Re: Uk flights

Air Lanka tend to codeshare with Emirates so may find that part of the routing is with them (probably Colombo onwards to Australia). I've never flown with Air Lanka but had decent reports of them.

Re: Forest Lake Opinions

I've been to both and think they both have their pluses. Just be aware that Forest Lake has the highest level of burglaries in Brisbane (due to its proximilty to Inala which is not a great area)
