FAQs - booking Middle East flights

  • How can I find great flight deals from Australia to the Middle East?

    Planning at least two months ahead is key to finding a good deal on flights to the Middle East. This will give you access to good prices on direct and one-stop itineraries. If you’re keen to save even more money, consider flights with more stops or longer layovers. If travelling to Dubai from Sydney, for example, you could secure a low-cost flight by relaxing in Manila for a day between each leg of your flight.

  • Which visa do Australian citizens need to fly to the Middle East?

    Australian travellers must have a passport with at least six months of validity and enough blank pages for the trip. Depending on the countries you visit and your length of stay, you may not need a visa. Australians may, for example, visit Israel for up to 90 days without a visa and the United Arab Emirates for up to 30 days. If you wish to visit countries like Jordan, Oman or ​​Saudi Arabia, however, you will need to arrange a visa. Be sure to check the specific entry requirements of every nation you wish to visit in the Middle East.

  • What direct flights are there to the Middle East from Australia?

    If you’re looking for direct flights to the Middle East, focus your search on Australian and Middle Eastern airlines. If you're heading to the UAE, for example, Qantas and Emirates offer direct flights from Melbourne and Sydney to Dubai, while Etihad offers direct flights to Abu Dhabi. Similarly, if you’ll be visiting Doha, Qatar Airways offers direct flights from major Australian hubs like Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane.

  • Which airlines offer shorter flight times between Australia and the Middle East?

    If you’re travelling from Australia to Jordan, Lebanon, or another country to which direct flights are not available, you can still find short, one-stop itineraries with carriers like Qatar Airways, Emirates and Qantas. Flights with Qatar Airways from Sydney to Amman Airport, for example, can come with one quick stop of just over an hour.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from Australia to Middle East?

    KAYAK is a travel search engine. That means we look across the web to find the best prices we can find for our users. With over 2 billion flight queries processed yearly, we are able to display a variety of prices and options on flights from Australia to Middle East.

  • How does KAYAK's flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy my flight ticket from Australia to Middle East?

  • If Mecca is on your itinerary, a close and convenient airport is Jeddah’s King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED). You will find one- and two-stop itineraries from major Australian cities to Jeddah. Alternatively, you may wish to fly into Saudi Arabia’s main hub, King Khalid International Airport (RUH), and spend some time in the capital of Riyadh.
  • If you’ve been visiting all the Ancient Wonders of the World and Petra is next on your list, consider flying into Aqaba’s King Hussein International Airport (AQJ) rather than Jordan’s main Queen Alia International Airport (AMM).
  • For visiting smaller Middle Eastern nations like Bahrain and Cyprus, keep in mind that you’ll need to factor in at least one stop into your itinerary. Since you’ll be stopping anyway, consider taking the opportunity to explore cities like Dubai, Muscat or Doha.
  • Heading to Israel to explore the Old City of Jerusalem and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre? While Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) is on the outskirts of Tel Aviv, it is also less than an hour’s drive from Jerusalem, making it the ideal airport to fly into.

The flight was delayed and the service was not good. All the new serve was beef and we don’t eat beef so we ended up buying our own meals at the airport twice.

The flight was delayed and the service was not good. All the new serve was beef and we don’t eat beef so we ended up buying our own meals at the airport twice.

Flight was cancelled without notification. Information on flight status was not available on Emirates's website.

I love to travel again and again in Emirates. Keep up the good work.

Fantastic as ever. Great staff super catering and excellent service.

Offboarding in Dubai was a bit confusing. The bus dropped us off, we passed the security, and then we were again in departure, no clue, no guidance on where to get our luggage

Seat did not recline at all, wi-FI did not work at all. Those are both very unfortunate for a 14 hour flight. Crew and food was of course very nice as always.

Emirates did great! I liked the service, the food, cleanness, and the flight was on time. Much better airline than Qatar Airways I flew with last year.

I would have liked less packaged snacky stuff, more fruit. The crew was great.

Great flight - Clubhouse met our needs, and the staff provided good service. Boarding felt a little chaotic, but given the size of the aircraft, it's always going to be challenging. Whilst the crew were friendly, the number of passengers meant that we received our breakfast items, but had finished breakfast before we were served a drink. Lunch was much better organised, and throughout the flight, the crew were attentive. Found the seats and ICE to be excellent. Disembarkation was fine, and everything possible to expedite the process was being done.

It was delayed for 2 hrs. Flight attendants were not attentive.

It was ok, but not what it was like 20 years ago

Great food and good entertainment options for the long flight.

It seems that qantas are trying hard to regain their status as Australia's premier airline. I only flew economy but happy with the service entertainment, food, configuration everything.

I never flew with alliance. Kayak is a joke and none of the flights or times were correct. Won’t ever use kayak again

I missed my flight due to unforeseen circumstances It was, however , an excellent price !

Loved the food and beverages available, spacious economy class, excellent entertainment

Very good overall. Highly recommend for all flying to Australia

Helpful staff when I felt unwell. Qantas need to have an audio/music channel so you can listen to various music/.artists

We had bulkhead seats in a A380 in the upper deck in seats 31 D and E. Storage was very limited other than in overhead bin - which is not within reach when in seat. Yet paying same price as others in premium economy who have a lot more storage within arm’s reach. Seems very unfair.

Good check in and helpful staff. Delayed for 1 hour. Took about 45 Mins to get baggage’s at DFW . Food was average ( Hindu meal ) . Overall it was good experience

Very good. I was happy that business seats were in a 1-2-1 configuration for the long haul flight. The shorter flight was a 2-2-2 configuration which I do not like as much, but it was a 3 hour flight that I slept through.

No control at all at the gate , passengers were not cuing up, , some were very loud , no action taken by the attendants . It looked more like a heard of animals then humans boarding a plane .

short flight but we still got a very nice lunch and the crew did an excellent job in taking care of us

This was my third time using Turkish Airlines. I was well satisfied with the overall experience! I believe that no one is perfect and that everyday we are trying to do the best we can to help others by giving a part of our lives through service. I believe from what I’ve seen that Turkish Airlines, have come close to that service! I will definitely recommend and reuse their services again! Thank you!

had to wait 1 hour once boarded. so we were 1 hour late arriving.

Online check in and seat assignments are terrible. All 4 flights

Cabin was kept very hot and it was uncomfortable. Entertainment system did not work at my seat. Crew and service is fantastic

the cabin was kept too hot. couldn't sleep as a result

Surprised for charged $341.00 FOR my luggage. THY opportunist, taken advantage of the people not knowing luggage must be paid.. I flew 7 months ago with Lufthansa same place to Los Angeles my family lives and work in L.A. no luggage PAYS BIG zero .. I WILL NEVER TAKE ANY FLIGHTS ✈️ FROM TURKISH AIRLINES EVER AGAIN 😒 Please Don't recommend TURKISH Airlines to nobody.. I am a retired person. With very limited S.S. check for a month..$341.00 is my kitchen expenses for at list 5 weeks i am a vegetarian salads and sandwiches.. thank you very much for your investigation asking my experience about the flight with ROTTEN Airlines 😀

They have adopted a crazy "no paper boarding passes at all cost policy". We spent half an our at the checkin stall – my elderly mother and her grandchildren were flying. She had no phone reception for some reason (besides being an inexperienced smartphone user), the kids had dumbphones, And they still won't issue a paper boarding pass. We had to do a lengthy dance with getting the boarding pass SMS on my phone and transferring them to her phone via WiFi. This was horrible, honestly. I can't imagine how they could manage it without me being there. Trees (and airline profits) should be less important than people.

The flight from HYD to DOH was delayed by 3 hours and we missed the connection from DOH to MIA. We had to wait 24H more to get the MIA flight. It was a total disaster. If the flight crew had waited 1 more hour to accommodate their 3 hour delayed flight, we would not have lost a whole day !

Very poor No information given to why we turned around.. No one at airport to help

Qatar Airways has gone down over the last few years.

It would help id flight crew were not rude and showed some courtesy. They were shouting at passengers and yelling instructions as if we were school children at lunch cafeteria!!

Friendly and discreet staff. Could have done with a few more offers of water/snacks overnight. Movie and tv selection notably poor. Seats not especially comfortable

Qatar maybe considered one of the best ailines in the world but nowadays it is much of a muchness with the rest

Lobster starter in business class was not good, tough, served cold, and without butter. Movie selection was missing latest releases, did not offer older classic, high quality movies

Good. It would be great if comfort seats were available

It never happened. Me flight from Doha to São Paulo was lated and the time of waiting for the luggage arrives when we arrived in São Paulo was about 1 hour and half. So it took a lot of time just waiting the luggage of flight that was already late, consequently we lost the flight to Recife with Latam Airlines and had to go to the Qatar office to arrange another flight to us to Recife, that one with Azul Airlines. It was more 4 hours waiting to this other flight to knows that this other flight was delayed too, total of 5 hours more at the airport to waiting to go home :/

My entire row did not have power for the full duration of a 14.5 hour flight. Could not charge any devices such as laptop or phones for the entirety of the long flight. The flight attendants tried to remedy the issue by resetting the power, but were not successful. The only other solution provided was to move me to another seat on the plane which was in the middle row. I had paid for a “preferred” seat that was a window seat. This was a downgrade being offered due to the power issue.

They lost the baggage and said it was deleted from the system. I had baggage tag so was able to file the complaint but there was no PIR number and update so far

It was very relaxing and staff were very quick to attend to any requests.

Limit the number of usage of wine or please arrange our seats. The passenger was drunk on this flight and not on Thiruvananthapuram to Abudhabi.

The seats seemed smaller than other business class offerings. The entertainment menu was limited. Flight crew was good.

Business class ticket should include lounge access and seat selection. The food quality and varieties should be more. It was surpirise that no dessert was offered.

I liked the crew, the food and the foot space. I did not like the comfort of the seats.

Early arrival. Good boarding. Deplaning this flight is very slow both coming and going. Baggage arrived quickly for Pearson

Ethiad wanted to charge me $1100 for 2 checked bags on a ticket that was $550. Nother the airline or airfare assist was willing to help before arriving at the airport. All parties said it was the other responsibility to help. Never flying ethiad or using kayak again.

Good service. But on flight to Kochi no entertainment except in app. And no working outlets to charge phone.

No entertainment except on app. No outlets working to charge. Good service
