hi guys, need some advice from DownUnder experts, which definitely include KeithMel
I'm facing prospects of re-locating to Australia, specifically Canberra. Given CBR has no direct flights with SIN, my family and i (4 pax) will need to transit at either MEL, SYD or BNE. Can I ask from your experiences whether QF Domestic or Virgin Blue is a better option? specifically,
a. Which one is cheaper (for a family of 4)?
b. Which one is more reliable (ie. no last min cancellations, lesser delays, more flexible in accommodating changes, etc. in sum not Tiger's horror stories)?
In addition, while Virgin is a *A partner (or am i wrong in this?), seems that Virgin Blue is not, which means i cant access *A lounges, am i right?
With possibilities of several domestic flights a year - i imagine having to fly CBR-SYD or -MEL or -ADL or -BNE - will it be a better value proposition to accrue miles for QF or Virgin Blue?
Finally, while i have connected from MEL and SYD into QF for CBR, i cant quite remember actual experiences; am I right that MEL has a more seamless connection which doesnt involve bus-ride to transfer to another terminal?
thanks in advance for anyone who can help
