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.

Extremely uncomfortable seats with very little cushioning, unable to recline enough to sleep comfortably on this 13 hour overnight flight. My body was in pain by the end.

Extremely uncomfortable seats with very little cushioning, unable to recline enough to sleep comfortably on this 13 hour overnight flight. My body was in pain by the end.

Flight departed punctually on time. Unfortunately it seems because the destination airport is a secondary airport the airline sees it fit to operate a plane with lower comfort and offerings. There was no inflight entertainment, wifi or let alone a screen to at least track flight status for remaining flight time.

The seat cushions are absolutely lacking, not sure if they know the passengers are traveling for 14 hours straight, but the padding made our back and butt ache like crazy. The entertainment console had its own problems, either the headphone jack wasn't working or the power outlet via usb or ac outlet was not working. Not to mention the seat handles were not adjustable in some planes in the middle or on the aisle. Qatar/Indigo may be operating a very old fleet of planes to make as much profit as possible, but passengers may not be following them for long, should this treatment of its customers continue. Qatar/Indigo, wake up and do it right by your customers, or they may not be your customers anymore.

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

The service was good but the food was a NO

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

Paid $10 for wifi for full flight duration and the wifi wasn’t available after initial 2 hours

Awesome hospitality, awesome staff, awesome food & awesome travel time. Thanks

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.
