My friend and I are planning on booking a contiki tour for the end of November that starts in London, ends in Paris. We are both 18 and live in Brisbane, Australia.

Prices for Brisbane-London Heathrow, then Paris to Brisbane are as below:

Singapore airlines return $1800
Cathay Pacific $1772
Malaysian $1697

In my opinion, I think its worth paying $1800 for singapore airlines, as there isn't a big difference between prices. However, my friend wants the cheapest available . I have heard that Malaysian airlines planes are old and don't give each passenger their own tv (economy). If im flying for 25+ hours i want my own tv!!

Overall, what how does Malaysian airlines food/service/age of planes/ entertainment etc compare with cathay and singapore?
