We've finally booked our flights.
There were 2 considerations while booking the flights -
1) Cost
2) Kids should be comfortable.
I would've liked to get the direct flights, but the price difference between the direct flights and the flights with stopovers was about 1700 Singapore Dollars, so we knew that we had to book flights with stopvers.
We also had to choose between day flights and night flights. We chose flights where one leg of flying was a night flight, so that kids could sleep it off.
We finally chose emirates, and the stopover is in Dubai.
Here is the flight itenary, and on both the onward and return flights, one leg is the night flight.
