    	    <description><![CDATA[Flew to Perth last Jan with Thai Airways.. amazing service. I got fed like 6 times (2 flights) had personal screens on the second flight in the headrests with multiplayer games and stuff and on demand music/movies/tv. Free alcohol too.

Oh, and they didn't charge us for being over our luggage weight on the way home.

£841 return

edit: had like a 5 minute stop over :p just enough time for a fag and a piss]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[I'm thinking of a trip to Australia soon, always wanted to go there, but when I do I will be forking out the extra cash for comfort, I went to Cyprus from the UK, the flight was 4 hours and uncomfortable, but I managed, couldn't see myself going on for much longer than that though.

Also went to spain via. coach, 18 hours of pure hell, especially as I got food poisoning and when you go for a shit on the coach it stinks the whole coach out.

Basically, I'd go for the more expensive airlines, it is a 24 hour flight both ways so it would be pretty much worth the money.

Or do what baerbel said which is don't sleep for 2 days, get on a plane and sleep there.

Sorted.]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[Just enjoy the trip, man. It's a waste of energy to worry about all kinds of things beforehand.

Although from personal experience, I would advise you to make sure your flight company is listed on the airport list of airlines. If it is, you'll be fine - otherwise, you might be in for a bumpy ride. :D]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[Everytime I've visited the Philippines, I've almost always taken a Middle Eastern airline, and they are okay. Not sure about Australia though, since it's another 8 hours away.

Do try and check-in online so you can pick the seats near the exits with lots of leg room. They might move you away if there are lots of passengers with children though, but hey, you could be lucky like we were and get upgraded to business class for free!]]></description>

nah its not that bad anymore, all planes are pretty decent safetywise and at least you'll get the chance to unlock some nigerian funds with only a couple of hundred quid]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[The time I went to Vietnam we flew with Malaysian Airlines to Kuala Lumpur (where the Australia-bound people parted ways southwards), it was pretty damn swish. They give you moist towelettes before your food, and the air hostesses all wear amazing dress-things. No idea how much it cost though.

My experience of long-haul flights otherwise (going to Chile semifrequently as I do) is that the cheaper airlines (for Chile, Iberia) don't provide excellent inflight entertainment, but they should have a tv screen somewhere visible showing films. The better ones (like lanChile but I doubt they go to Australia from Europe) have little tv screens in the back of the seat infront of you that you can play games on and watch stuff on demand and the like.]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[12 hours?

Took me 22 + 8 hours to reach New Zealand. I've not really a clue about the airlines though. I had a dutch and new zealand one.

Next to that, you probably have some decent space, and theres not that much to amuse yourself with other than bringing your own small things. It's a tough bite to get through boredom, but it's well worth it in the end.]]></description>
