Right, I'm booking flights/holidays for next year, where I suspect that I'll either be bitten by a snake, spider, shark or stinger or maybe a combination of all 4.
Anyhoo, two of the most "cost effective" 1 stop* options into Brisbane are:
China Airways
China Southern
Anyone flown with these? Any reviews?
I'm getting Eddie Murphy travelling to Nepal in The Golden Child vibes, I'll be honest.
Or am I best to pay a couple of quid more and simply go Emirates?
Thanks in advance
ABB
*I really don't want a 2 stop option, cheers. |  |

I've even used Garuda through Jakarta. I got a dirt cheap business class flight last year. It was the same price as premium economy BA!
I'm not picky about airlines, I just try and get the best possible cabin for value. As others have said, you can't go that far wrong with Singapore, Cathay or Emirates. If you're going premium economy I'd go Cathay. For economy, Singapore are probably the best, their regional arm Silkair are pretty pleasant and Changi is nice to transfer through. |

I used Singapore airlines a few months ago for Bali. I was top deck on A380 which was only 50% full. It was c.£500 return. Amazing value. I could have got it even cheaper but wasn't willing to risk the 45 minute transfer. [Post edited 20 Jul 2018 12:47]

Lived down under for five years. When my parents visit they fly Singapore into Singapore and then do low cost carrier (Silk, Air Asia, Scott) from Singapore to Oz.
Saves them a fortune on a main airline from uk to oz all the way.
Plus in five years, I've seen one snake and two nasty spiders...no sharks. [Post edited 20 Jul 2018 16:11]

Ooh, this interesting. Flight wise rather than lack of shark sightings, of course.
Do Silk, Air Asia & Scott have all the niceties on board still? Films & TV stuff & maybe a relaxing sherry or two?
If so, we might have a winner. | |

I've only used Silkair and Cathay Dragon but they are normally for smaller legs like HKG to Siem Reap, Singapore to Penang, HKG to Bali etc. They tend to get around the entertainment thing by giving you access to restricted WiFi and saying you should download an app to a smartphone prior to departure. Food and drinks service is ok but limited.
If you want proper movies, a few cans of lager and an ice cream stick with the big boys. If you are keen to save cash then it's a decent option. I'd struggle on the cheaper options for 7 hours being totally honest.
If you can, I'd recommend geting an A380 and pay extra to go upstairs and pick the 2-4-2 seat configuration. Much better. | |
