Had bad experience this time. Didnt like the seat comforat at all. Additionally, this time Emirates came up with crazy seat arrangement where part of family were placed in different seat and this happened with lot of passengers that day on the flight. I think they did this so that next time we buy seat and pay more. The Indian food was the worst. I booked for Hindu meal well in advance and told at the ticket counter as well but got the regular food. Good bye Emirates, will try Qatar or European airlines next time.

  • What airports serve Sydney to Edinburgh flights?

    If you want to fly to Edinburgh from Sydney, you will depart from Sydney International Airport (SYD) and arrive at Edinburgh Turnhouse Airport (EDI). Sydney Airport is Australia’s busiest airport. It has three passenger terminals where up to 35 different airlines operate. You can get to Sydney Airport in a number of ways. It has good transport links and is only around 9-10 miles from the city centre, roughly a 20min drive. At your destination, Edinburgh Airport is around 8-9 miles from the centre of the city. It is easily accessible by car and has an excellent tram link, taking only about 30min from the airport to the centre.

  • Which airlines fly directly from to Edinburgh from Sydney?

    Unfortunately, there are currently no direct flights to Edinburgh from Sydney available, but you can still find some good deals for flights with one or two stopovers. Qatar Airways runs a service between Sydney and Edinburgh for a fair deal and a reasonable flight time of about 24h 15min, with one short stopover at Doha International Airport (DOH). You’ll only wait for 1h 50min before boarding your connecting flight. British Airways also operates an indirect service with one stopover in London Heathrow Airport (LHR) or Doha. Both stopovers last around 3h, so the overall flight time is a little longer.

  • What are the stopover options between Sydney to Edinburgh?

    When it comes to flying to Edinburgh from Sydney, you can expect to see numerous options for stopovers, especially taking into account the distance between the two cities. The most practical flights tend to have one stopover, like the service provided by British Airways and Qatar Airways, stopping off in London Heathrow and Doha respectively. But if you want to fly a little cheaper and you have some time on your hands, you can find good deals with two stopovers, such as flying out with All Nippon Airways (ANA) via Tokyo Haneda Airport (HND) and Frankfurt am Main Airport (FRA). However, whilst this route saves you money, it almost doubles your flight time. If you’re worried about time, then check out British Airways’ service via Singapore International Airport (SIN), with a stopover of only 1h 45min, and a second stopover of only 1h 5min at London Heathrow. Alternatively, KLM and Etihad Airways also operate a service with two short stopovers of 1h 20min and 1h 30min, via Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH) and Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS).
