Brisbane in £630s-£660s rtn

G'day G'day! 

It's your resident Aussie living in London speaking to all my compatriots... I know there's plenty of you out there who are looking for a cheap trip home. 

I'm sending you this flight tip because it's exactly that — cheap. We haven't seen Brisbane on the radar in a while, and while it does have a pretty lengthy layover on the way there, I'm choosing to see an afternoon in Shanghai as a perk. Here's a good guide on how you can make the most of your 8 hours. 

In case you're interested, we have in-house experience flying long-haul on Chinese airlines — read my review of my trip on China Southern last year, with a bonus entry from our Marketing Guru, Drew, on his China Eastern flight.

TLDR: the inflight experience is absolutely fine, but it's worth bringing your own entertainment and extra snacks :-)
