Hi all, this will be a long one.
I'm planning to fly from Melbourne to Singapore in mid-October. I'm looking to fly with either Emirates or Singapore. Both are on the A380. Singapore is slightly cheaper at $2,750 compared to Emirates at $3,000, although I understand that you get complimentary airport transfers with Emirates, which mostly offsets the difference in ticket prices.
Another consideration is that Qantas currently have a Double Status Credits offer going, which would net 480SC points based on the above itinerary. Emirates have codeshare flights that are marketed as Qantas, but will be operated by Emirates. Total cost would be $3,150.
My questions to you all are:
1. Would you rather fly Emirates or Singapore? How do they compare in your experience?
2. Will booking the Qantas/Emirates codeshare be eligible for for Double Status Credits offer?
3. Will booking the Qantas/Emirates codeshare be eligible for the complimentary airport transfers?
If the answers to 2 and 3 are both yes, then I think going with the Qantas/Emirates codeshare is a no-brainer, but again, keen to hear your thoughts. However, if people feel Singapore would be a better option both in terms of price and experience, I will certainly consider this option.
Thanks!
