;D Emirates ol' bean : No contest, unless the Quantas via LHR is significantly quicker, in particular on the return flight.

Never been with Qantas but I have flown with Emirates twice and would highly recommend them.

Hi,

Flown with Emirates before and booked for next year with them. Service was great and a 3hr stop of was great for a old bugger like me. I found that tobacco and booze was very cheap in duty free but cameras, gold etc. was cheaper elsewhere. i.e. 200 cigs. 25 good cigars and a litre of Glenmorangie Malt was £20. In Man. a litre off Glen.  cost £23 by itself. I paid by credit card and was pleased when i got my bill for £20.35.

Cheers Doug.

Scarface,

 

Emirates has to be the choice.  Go for the evening flight from MAN if possible - the lunchtime schedule is constantly using a 777 in a high density seat fit configuration as is  the connection from DXB to BKK.  The evening flight is still using the roomier Airbus.

 

Regards,

 

Tom

No contest. Qantas direct, emirates means fucking about in the middle east.

Emirates

 

The change of aircratft is fine. Stay awake over to the Gulf, once back on the plane, a few beers then sleep all the way to Bangkok.

 

No Jetlag !!!!

Emirates 33" Seat pitch

Qantas   31" Seat pitch.

 

Those 2" make a big difference on long haul flights especially if you are a big guy. :)

Quantas is not direct from Manchester.

Growler, how did you find out about the seat pitch? Is there a web site that provides the info? I ask because there is a web site that DOES provide info on the best seats in US airlines.
