Guest irishchicko Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hi Everyone,Need help booking flights. What Airline is the best to go with ? What website? Anyone that has booked to leave this year wat did ye do.Any help would be great. Thanks Muriel I think Emirates are the best. They fly Dublin to Dubai and Dubai to Perth. I think this route breaks up the journey more evenly as its about 1O hrs both ways. Also, try and get the airbus A380 - its supposed to be fab and much better than 747. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baz6679 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 I have been told that singapore airelines are great and they have the A380 did you hear anyting about them?Thanks hi There, I am going on 28th August and we are flying with Singapore. Leaves Dublin at 7PM goes to London, then to singapore and then perth. They are an absolute pleasure to deal with. Plus you get the 40 kg Baggage Allowance if your travelling on a 175 or 176 Visa. they have an office in Dublin who will answer any queries. we got the flights for €2,000 approx. Thats 2 adults , 1 child and an Infant although we didnt book a seat for him we have a bassinet seat. To get the extra baggage allowance all you have to do is book your tickets and then just send them a copy of your visa grant notice and they change the tickets at their dublin office. Be aware though that it costs 35 euro per passenger to change this, a cost that can't be avoided but it is well worth it. Any questions about the process just shout? :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine will be almost two when we travel, not sure whether to get him a seat or not...although having him on my lap for that length of time will just be torture especially if he's unsettled....

Careline was 5,000 sharing a 40ft said i had 750cubic ft and move plus have to quote me but said i had around 680 cubic ft so trying to share a 20ft container and reduce the cubic ft to 550, they are charging some money cant seem to get a final quote from ace removals do .... so under pressure now and i have to find homes for all my babies:sad: It is so unreal that we only started this on 14 Feb and now we leave in just 8 weeks:arghh: Muriel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Sinead, We provisionaly book our flights on Friday with the Dublin branch but oh did'nt ask bout that. We have since booked online as you cant book seats if you go through them in Dublin so did'nt want to take the risk have to ring to cancel on tue so will ask.I rang my travel agent in kk on sat and she said it was 20kg with everyone and to scan a copy of visa for extra baggage.so will have to see i guess.I know what you mean being stresses i taught i could take a breather for a bit but nooooooooooooo chance of that:arghh:xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baz6679 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Thanks baz6679,I have been on the Singapore website all morn best for us i think is Dub 7.30am to London then London to Singapore A380 with 2,15 min layover then on to Perth. Our Son is 12yrs old so he is priced as adult.Do you have a number for the Dublin office?Also do you get charged extra for the baggage on the Airlingus flight to LONDON ?iM Sooooo nervous i get it all wrong its such a big step.... not like a normal holiday booking:confused:Muriel Sorry for late reply, been away all weekend:biggrin: Ok all we had to do was email a copy of the Visa Grant letter to their office in Dublin. The Dublin Office is 016710722. Once i emailed this i then had to pay €35 per person to get the extra baggage allowance put on the tickets. The dublin office then email your tickets to you, they told me to check your bags in to Aer Lingus Flight in Dublin and ask them to check them the whole way for you so that when we get to London we dont have to worry about re checking our bags in. They never mentioned this to us about extra baggage on Aer Lingus cos it shows on the tickets the extra baggage allowance. I would also reccomend you google Seatguru. This will show the singapore airlines planes and it will help you look at the best seat and help you pick what seats you want.

Mine will be almost two when we travel, not sure whether to get him a seat or not...although having him on my lap for that length of time will just be torture especially if he's unsettled.... Hi, again sorry for late reply. It's personal preference. Our wee boy is 13 months. We chose the flight leaving London at 10PM, leaves Dublin at 7PM and arrives London 8PM so we hope as this would be his bedtime he will sleep through the flight to singapore. We also got seated in a Bassinet Position which is the little sort of cot(if you Google Bassinet Seat Images) which is attached to the wall in front. Is it really worth paying for your 2 year old, he is prob going to want to get up and explore:biggrin: Any questions give me a shout:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
