    Looking to travel business class to Sydney from Heathrow leaving approx 7th Jan 2014 and stopping in Singapore for 1 night enroute.
    My wife and I are staying with family so just flights except the 1 night in Singapore. We will be flying back to Heathrow on approx 27th Jan 2014

    Have been quoted by BA approximately £8100 and wondered if anyone can beat this using other airlines
    I would prefer not to use Finnair, or any Chinese or Vietnamese carriers.

    Thanks in advance:)
