Hi, juts wondering does anyone have any opinion on best way to fly to Melbourne from Dublin...which airline?? Any horror stories or recommendations (hopefully) to report???
Going there early July!

I flew through Abu Dhabi to Melbourne with Etihad on 3 occasions and had no complaints! As comfortable as could be for a long haul flight!

Hiya
Booked my flight through Trailfinders, after trawling all the options they turned up cheapest. I'm going the long way, August 15th Dublin 1800 - London (Hrow) - 2200 Kuala Lumpar on to Adelaide arriving Friday the 17th at 7.10am. I have a 2 hour wait in Ldn then 5 in Malaysia! All this on my own, I'm not a nervous flyer by any means just sounds really boring!! I'm staying with mates in Adelaide, would be glad of a travel buddy if anyone is on any part of the route?

Short fuse...

I'm currently in the Party Central that is Canberra. (I swear, I saw a tumbleweed go by). Flying to Auckland today, Wellington Wednesday, Sydney Thursday...through Sat. Wellington schedule is booked, but if anyone wants to give me a grounding for Auckland or Sydney...

Zambia

Canberra .... nothing happens in Canberra*

You should have come to Melbourne

*Except the running of the country

Manic Moran

Actually, I was in Melbourne before Canberra (Well, main destination was Puckapunyal, but I had a day in Melbourne). I just didn't think to check for a thread like this.

kieranfitz

Manic, who left you out of the military forum?

Manic Moran

The guys at Puckapunyal.

kieranfitz

Ah here now, you'll be singing "I was only 19" next.

Manic Moran

I made Kiwi TV news yesterday. Donated to a non-profit, still people can find something to complain about. Hopefully the Aussies are a little less odd...

hey, doing same route as you on 9th Sept, would u mind letting me know if u thought it was a good flight, if it ws comfortable, u were jetlaggd etc also if u found the stop over in AD ok to manage, its around 3 hours on my flight, so presuming that will be plenty of time?

Hey yeah it was comfortable enough for long haul flights. Jet lag was ok I managed I fight it off for most of the day when I landed!!!! I would suggest that u stay awake on the first flight and try sleep on the 2nd one. The stopover wasn't bad at all actually really flew in. Safe flight
