Flights into Manchester/Glasgow

For family reasons, I fear I must shortly slip and proceed from Oz to Liverpool (ugh) and the place of my ancestors (Ayrshire).

It's been a while since my last personal trip. It seems that the only airlines that now fly from Sydney to Manchester/Glasgow and return, with only one stop each way, are Emirates and Ethidad. And only Emirates flys to Glasgow.

Being of canny Scots extraction, and reluctant to let more than the absolute minimum number of moths ooot of mae sporran for personal trips, I'm trying to find the best value for my hard earned spondulak. My thinking is to fly to Manchester and hire a car. But which airline?

Any views on the cattle class qualities of Emirates and Ethidad (or any other carrier that flies to Manchester from Sydney via a hub), would be most welcome, and gratefully appreciated.
