FAQs for booking Glasgow to Melbourne flights

  • What airlines offer culturally appropriate food on the flight to Melbourne?

  • Which airlines offer good guidance services for young children?

    All children flying to Melbourne will need to be booked on flights that cater for unaccompanied minors. Lufthansa and Air France both offer the service for children between five and 12. If you have teenagers travelling alone, you can book the service for extra peace of mind.

  • Can I bring a service animal on a flight to Melbourne?

    There is no airline on this route that will turn down a service animal in the cabin. The animal will need to have a training certification, be inoculated and have a health passport to prove it.

It is advisable to bring a muzzle in the event the airline requests it.

    Most airlines will request that you book disability service online or via phone at least 48 hours in advance.

Airline staff will not feed you, administer medicine or assist in the restrooms beyond mobility service. If you need this level of assistance, consider taking an assistant on the flight. Special fares can be arranged for carers.

  • This flight is long and always has stopovers. One of the shorter fights will be with Qantas, with just one stopover at Dubai International Airport (DXB).
