Hi UpTheToon, thank you for your reply! hmm, it's actually going to be my first time flying alone on such a beautifullong flight. :( So I'm a quite scared.. hahaha! I guess direct flights will always be theis expensive..

First time fly alone is nervous. Any doha and Emirates airport quite idiot proof. And I prefer a transit then sit in aeroplane so long all the way. Dubai airport is very big and can walk walk and got sleeping lounge.

And to me SQ ranks lower in terms of comfort to Emirates and Qatar. Their leg room is better for me.

Not necessarly direct flight is always expensive. If you notice the price to Europe, the standard promotion price is around $950+ for qatar and emirates.

Flying to london is about $100 more. I usualky fly to cheaper airports such as Paris and take train to london.

We have been going to Europe in recent years. Just have to keep looking out for deals on various airline websites and book the tickets when the deals come up.

We have flown with SQ, Emirates, Swiss International.

Later this year will fly with Qatar.

If you require more space, try to avoid Qatar's 787s. Seat pitch and width almost close to LCC's standards. You won't be used to it if you have been spoilt by their 77Ws. :(

I am checking out the Qatar promotion as well. Will be travelling in March but have not booked tickets yet. Took a quick look, 3 pax travelling from Sin to Lon for approx $3.3k, good price?

First time flying to Europe, intending to stay around for around 2 weeks. Need some advice here!

Try checking Emirates. Around 3.3k as well but supposedly a better airline.

Check out KLM as well. They're having a promo currently. Depending on which day you fly out, you can get a tix for under 1k each (usually weekdays).

:Later,

The promotions for KLM and Qatar seems rather attractive, but the downside is that KLM uses the 3-4-3 seat configuration for their B77W planes and newer/refitted B772 planes (just like the 3-4-3 configuration in Emirates and Etihad B777 planes) on SG bound flights, and Qatar uses the 3-3-3 seat configuration on B788 planes on SG bound flights. So you may want to consider that as well, especially for mid to long-haul flights.

lots of comparison between emirates and qatar, i research and read review a bit on both too.. i think both seems to be top notch airline in term of service and having high ranking in top airline every year.

emirates seems to be more luxury and branded airline, of course price is higher too. Transit in dubai, review says that airport quite good to spend time.

qatar lower price and review that they have more leg space which is good for long haul flight. downside is previously transit in doha airport is bad.. but now with new airport might be better?

personally i took a couple of KLM flights before and i honestly couldn't ask for more. haha! perhaps because other flights i took were ryanair/sas/norwegian etc., which are all budget airline. haha! I've never taken air france before so i can't give u a good comparison between the two, but KLM alone i would say its good, conditions, services & food offered were alright :s13:
