Flying to Australia Advice please

I am going to be flying to Austrailia economy class to see my mother in law this year, but this is the first time we have ever been. We are going for three weeks but not sure which airline to go with as we have been told about Melasion, Emerates and also Etihad Airways with Etihad Airways and Melasion being the cheapest.

What I am after is reviews about the Etihad and Melasion airways to see how good they are and also how much room you get in the economy class, as one i hate when flying to turkey or spain is the little room you have for your legs.

Can anyone please give me advice on flying to Austrailia and let me know if there is anything that I need to know
Many thanks

You can find reviews of Malaysia Airlines, Emirates and Etihad at several sites if you search, but a popular one is Skytrax. The reviews seem to have quite a bit of information, including the class of service being flown.

They also have a seat guide which shows that Malaysia does have the best seat pitch in economy, a full 2 inches more than on Etihad.

Thank you for that. I have found them to be the cheapest so to hear that they offer more leg room as well is fantastic. I am not sure what to expect on the flight, such as meals etc. I am going to a place called How Long and we are considering if to fly from Melbourne Airport or if to drive from the airport.

I guess economy universally you are not going to get as much legroom as you would say in business class. Emirates I know are overall excellent.

How tall are you? The longer the legs the more painfull it is to sit down with little leg room in front in economy class. Where abouts in Australia are you planning on travelling?

airlinequality got a lot of reviews for Etihad but not able to sort it down to specific destinations like australia. kind of mixed reviews, but common testimonies are alertness and friendliness of staff...http://www.airlinequality.com/Forum/etihad.htm

Also take a look up for hotels before you go, make sure they can pick you up from the airport.

I've always flown with Emerates and found them really good, but not as you say necesarily the cheapest.
