Best airline London to Sydney

[FizzyPink]

Just looking at booking flights to Sydney from London in October and there’s a couple of airlines coming in at roughly the same cost for a similar journey time.

1. Singapore Airlines
2. Cathay Pacific
3. BA
4. Chinese Easten Airlines (super cheap but less inclined to book with them)
5. Etihad

Any thoughts on which is best for a solo female traveller who is severely emetophobic and so doesn’t fly well surrounded by lots of people at the best of times!

Singapore Air is lovely and has just been voted the best international airline, I believe. Flying with them, in my experience, is genuinely the best experience you can have if you're doing a long haul flight in economy. I'd book with them without any hesitation.

I've never flown China Eastern, but I have China Southern - the Chinese government are investing massively in their aviation business, and the planes I flew in were brand new and very nice - and cabin crew exceptional. So not sure why you're less inclined to book with them - it might be worth considering?

We're off to Sydney soon and flying with BA, simply because they were so much cheaper than any of the other airlines. I'd prefer to go with Singapore, though. Are you flying economy/premium economy or business?

Singapore Airlines.

Only reason I’m less inclined to book with Chinese Eastern is I’ve struggled to find good online reviews. Would have just booked with BA for the Avios but prices have gone up massively in the last week.
Right now Singapore looks the best combined with a hotel on Expedia so great it’s recommended!

I like Cathay Pacific, from Syd to LHR. I've always fly premium economy with them, which isn't amazingly luxurious but does give more space and leg room + helps avoid being squashed up with too many other people. I've never flown that route with BA, usually because they are massively more expensive than everyone else!

I've never flown Singapore but they are always very highly rated for customer service and loads of people like Changi airport too.

I live in China and would choose Cathay over China Eastern any day! I have always found Cathay service to be vg and entertainment system is good.

Singapore without a doubt. We've travelled that route many times and now only book Singapore.

Singapore airlines are fab. Would really recommend them.

Thank you all so much, just booked Singapore Airlines into Sydney and out of Melbourne for £836, seems like a bargain!
