Hiya
We booked on-line with Emirates, it was easy and have done it before so I know all should be ok.

Go for it.

We've booked on line with Emirates and Singapore - both really easy to do and you can choose your seats. We ordered adult meals for the kids instead of childrens ones (7 and 12), as they got a better choice.

Hiya we booked through Austravel flying to Brissy with Singapore on 5th AugustEmailed Singapore directly to ask about 40kg baggage allowance and they sent one back saying yes we can have it, just gives us something in writing and makes me feel more relaxed about it! Something less for me to worry about!!

Hi ya Jacky
Just a little thought, l know this depends on your house sale completion but would it be worth you going a little earlier - to arrive there on or before 1 July cos of the citizenship change (not that we're trying to get rid of you hehe - gonna try and see ya before you go).
Speak soon
