thats something we could learn from the aussies...free transport on matchday...though i migh add,for those staying in surfers,broadbeach...etc..the bus from town to the train station is'nt free with a match ticket

Its a bit annoying that its NZ, OZ , NZ, OZ but flights should be pretty cheap in advance

Manchester to Melbourne on Malaysian???

Pack plenty of food and aspirins

Down to Heathrow on BMIbaby all included in the price.

Please expand on the food and aspirins?

Anyone thinking of booking an ad/hoc trip down here be warned.

Air Brunei, whist as cheap as chips, makes RyanAir look like the best airline in the world. Broken back seat TV's, or none at all, 9 hour stop overs in Brunei with SFA to do and as for their handling of the volcano issues......it took a week to get less than 100 passengers out of Auckland as they continued to sell tickets to locals in Brunei even when they knew there would be a backlog.......so once flights resumed they left Auckland for Brunei empty...much to the amazement of the stranded few.

Oh, and they are DRY flights and the 9 hours in Brunei airport is DRY as well

jetstar are the cheapest way to get between Australia and New Zealand and if you book early, you will get a good deal.
Lastly, if you are budgeting for hotels, you can get a clean functional room in Wellington/Auckland for about $90 a night for a twin/double.......

Tickets on sale now mate via Ticketek

Malaysian airlines have the most shocking food of any airline I've ever had the misfortune to fly with.

And if the LHR to KUL leg doesnt make you die of boredom with Malaysians in flight 'entertainment' then the limited economy seat pitch will help fill your arteries with enough DVT to stop a charging rhino.

Take plenty of aspirins to thin your blood my friend, buy some good quality flight socks and drink as much water as you can.

Good luck.

Yea ive heard that a few times before. I just stick to using Cathay Pacific, never had a problem with them and I love how their seats recline forwards...

Singapore Airlines flogs the rest of them.

Plus you can eat Singapore Chilli Crab while in Singers. Worth the price of admission.

Agree with you on that one mate.

Singapore Airlines are superb


And for anyone that fancies a gamble Korean Air have been crash free for quite a few years now. They do some great deals to Oz.

Had no problems with them getting to Auckland for about £580 return in 2009.......great food too!

They were running the risk of getting banned from most of the worlds airports because of their shocking safety record not so long ago!

They used to put you up in a hotel in Seoul overnight (if you were lucky enough to actually make it there with them) if you worked it out right so you had a 16 hour overnight transfer time at Incheon

A good airline to fly with .. if you like Bibimbap!


Definately worth a look for anyone considering the 4 nations trip

....we had to pay a whole $50 US for the night...I saved about $500 on the ciggies I bought! Airport was like a doctors Surgery, only cleaner.
....didn't know I liked it until I flew with them.....but yum!
