KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from Edinburgh to Melbourne Airport

  • To get from Edinburgh city centre to Edinburgh Turnhouse Airport (EDI), you have a few options. The most convenient way is to take a taxi or use a ride-hailing service for a direct and hassle-free journey. Alternatively, you can also use the Airlink bus service, which offers frequent connections between the city centre and the airport, with multiple stops along the way.
  • Those of you travelling on a budget and looking at self-transfer flights, make sure your flights don't have an airport change. Flights like easyJet and China Eastern offer flights via Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Shanghai Pu Dong (PVG). Ensure you have plenty of time at the stopover to collect your luggage and check-in. Make time for potential delays as well.
  • If you're travelling with more luggage, consider booking flights with major airlines like Qatar Airways and British Airways, which both include a generous baggage allowance included in the ticket price. British Airways and Qatar Airways both offer single-stopover flights via Doha Hamad International (DOH) and include 8 kg of cabin bags and 23 kg of checked baggage.
  • If you're flying with Turkish Airlines, double-check the baggage allowance on each flight. Turkish Airlines offers three different Economy options with different allowances. Flights with multiple stopovers typically only include cabin bags, while single-stopover flights with a stopover at Istanbul Airport (IST) allow carry-on bags and checked luggage. Eco Flexible has both luggage options, while EcoFly tickets only include carry-on.
  • Those who want to travel in the lap of luxury can look at booking Business Class tickets with major airlines. Business Class Cabins are offered through airlines like Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, and British Airways. Qatar Airways is the only airline offering Business Class with single-stopover flights via Doha. Britsh Airways and Turkish Airlines both offer Business Class flights with two stopovers en route.

Excellent service. The personal adaptation of menus and the individual timing of service of them is fantastic.

Crew and food was good, ok leg room if you don’t have a big box under the seat. And the seats are so narrow (I’m only 70kg), will consider an alternate airline next time

Food was absolutely pathetic. I wasted so much food which I thought was inedible. I also loathe the inflight entertainment system which has very little content

Boarding from DOH to SYD the Business Class were pointed in a separate gate but no one there to receive us. Otherwise it was ok.

The flight was delayed and one member of the crew was a bit rude. But apart from that all good.

My flight was delayed. I was rebooked twice and even the second flight that was additional connection in London was delayed too, so I ended up spending more than 24 hours flying between four different countries and to be honest I’m not sure whether I ever want to use this airline again. My luggage is still delete. It’s been more than 48 hours now so to be honest, I’m not even sure how to describe the level of frustration I have.

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.

I would love the entertainment center to be updated with more content. The flight to Doha had more options than the one to Miami

Economy travel is really hard with no room to move especially when the person sitting beside you is an XL or XXL size person who if moving could hit your face

Reason for travelling Tampa to Orlando is to fly Qatar Airline. we end up with American Airline. This was the miserable experience I ever had in my entire travel history. Flight attendants were rude. They hit my knee with the food cart and I was holding ice pack for 2 hours. I still have the pain after a week. WE boarded the flight twice because of the temperature inside the plan.
