That just a technical Thursday night stay in the hotel and then straight to airport after the game?

Yeah, probably and it could be worth getting a hotel at the airport for the Thursday night. Given your check in for the return flight would be 3am in Melbourne you might as well. There is also a 24 hours bus from the Airport into town as well see www.skybus.com.au for more details.

There is a better one stop deal for £708 on Skyscanner right now with better transfer times

Leave Manchester 13:10 on Wednesday, 2:35 lay up at DXB and arrive Melbourne 23:20 on Thursday night
Leave Melbourne at 06:00 Saturday, 1:35 lay up at DXB and back in Manchester at 18:40 on Saturday night.

I don't think you will get better flights or deal than that for such a short space of time.

I’ve booked with Purple Travel. £1025 flights and hotel, thought it was a great price for 7 nights.

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

If you are going to do what Matt is suggesting you will spend more time in Dubai airport than Melbourne.

Having been to Melbourne it is a great city a cross of old Victorian/European - great bars out of town great food in South Yarra, St Kilder , Trams, Great Ocean Road etc. and only an hours flight to Sydney.

If you are going for a week maybe - its a long way to go for just a week never mind a long weekend but as you say the choice is upto you

McDermott is going. I actually think he is more relaxed because of it, and seems to have let the shackles go. He apparently asked to finish the season, and that is what they agreed.

I wouldn't be doing it that is for sure :D

Been seen and conquered - had a great time see no value in repeating the process - especially if the focus of the trip is a meaningless friendly :D

Some people might only have that option though and not have enough time off work to go for any longer.

Best deal today is £698

Leaves Manchester 13:10 on Wednesday, arrives Melbourne at 09:05 on Friday morning but that's with 8 hours in Dubai and 1hr 45 in Singapore. Returns at 6am Saturday morning and back in Manchester at 7am on Sunday with a 14 hour lay up in Dubai on the way back.

Best 1 stop deal is now £751 as I think they have caught on to the fact the game is happening and there has been a potential spike in interest.

Cheapest under 30 hour travelling deal is £713.

leaves Manchester at 20:25 on Wednesday night, arrives in Melbourne at 12:05 on the day of the game. Stops of 90 minutes in Dubai but 5 hours in Perth, but you'd get some time to explore as you would clear customs there before the onward journey to Melbourne. Flight back leave 20:20 on Saturday night, a hop to Adelaide with a 90 minute connection with just 2 hours in Dubai before getting into Manchester at 11:20 on Sunday morning ready for work on Monday lol

The quickest travel time price is £913

Leaves Manchester at 20:25 on Wednesday night, 2 hour stop in Dubai and into Melbourne at 06:30 on Friday morning. Return flight is at 06:00 on Saturday and back into Manchester at 18:40 on the same day with just a 95 minute lay up in Dubai.

I'm already sorted as I'm out the week before for the Wollongong game. I fly into Melbourne on the morning of the game before off to Sydney for the double header the morning after. It's almost like a Catalan trip for us during our stay there.

Booked a hire car today, ready for the Great Ocean Road trip, and a hot air balloon ride over the city. Dream holiday for me this, can’t wait.
