Re: Advice please on breaking trip to Sydney [from UK]

Hi,

If you would like to do Singapore and San Fran (Dubai wouldnot work)
Try BA , as I am sure there fares allow you to go one way and come
back another.

Or Emirates would allow you to Stop in Dubai and also there DXB to SYD
flights stops at Singapore. Make sure you ask about free or discount
Hotels in both DXB and SIN as Emirates normally have good offers.

Emirates fly directly to Dubai from Birmingham Manchester and London.
The Sydney service should be operating with the new Airbus A340-500 by
now.

I can recommend Emirates

Regards
