Australia with British airways

roadrunnermick

Hi I an looking at travel with British airways or quntas to Melbourne
Both are similar priced

Just wondering anyone have experience in flying with BA to Melbourne

LXFlyer

BA don't fly to Melbourne directly - it will be a codeshare.

They only fly to Sydney these days.

My only advice on this would be to try and get an A380 over there. I think Qantas have more A380's on this route ? You cant beat that new plane smell
I have never flown long haul with BA - but Qantas are fairly good.

Have you looked at Emirates or Etihad ? You should be able to do the journey from Dublin with just one stop ? But it does involve an ultra long haul second leg from the UAE to Oz (c. 14 hours)

Definitely check Etihad, I got a surprisingly good price with them and their service/in flight entertainment/comfort was streets ahead of any other airline I've gone on a long flight with before. Even the food was genuinely pretty good (and the mango rice pudding was delish!). They were the cheapest flight for me too, which is why I booked them in the first place.

And no, I don't work for Etihad.

Ethiad cheapes to perth anyway

Emirates and Etihad are a better travel experience by far IMHO. Plus you don't have to transit in LHR.

Cheapest flight is €771 Euro with Aer Lingus/Malaysia Airlines from Dublin/Amsterdam/Kuala Lumpur/Melbourne

BUT BETTER OPTIONS for €822 Euro and €876 Euro.
