Quote: Father Ted "I might go, don't know yet.
Have the fixtures been announced? A poster has said the prelim games are in NZ. Can you let me know the games and dates please.
In 2006 for the Tri Nations we used Emirates airlines from Manc via Dubai.
They flew Boeing 777 to Dubai which was ok. Then the same plane to Sydney with a 2 hr stop in Bankok. The 777 is too small for the Dubai - Sydney run IMO.
If there is a next time I'd probably go with a Mid East Airline again as they are price competitive and aviod Heathrow. Possibly look at Mid east- Sydney on a A345/346 or the A388. Certainly not the 777.'"
I fly London/Sydney pretty frequently and by FAR the best route is via Singapore.
Direct.....and you are well over half way when you arrive at Singapore
Bangkok is my second choice ....far better since they opened Suvarnabhumi Airport ....the old one was woeful
Hong Kong is my third choice....fantastic airport but a good 14 hour haul from London and then about 9 or 10 on to Sydney
