Question 20

What are the most eco-friendly airlines from Melbourne to India?

Accepted Answer

Singapore Airlines, SriLankan Airlines, Etihad Airways, and Air India provide eco-friendly flights to India from Melbourne. There are no direct flights to India from Melbourne, but Etihad Airways provides the next best thing: a single-layover flight, which is more eco-friendly than a double layover flight. Individually, these airlines have taken several steps to ensure sustainable travel. Singapore Airlines has one of the youngest and most efficient fleets, which includes the Airbus A380 aircraft. Similarly, Etihad Airways has taken several steps to reduce fuel consumption, including using newer and more efficient engines, single-engine taxiing, and retrofitting their planes to be lightweight. In addition to those steps, Air India has banned the use of single-use plastic on its flights and even replaced their plastic cutlery with wooden cutlery, all in an effort to minimize waste.

Question 21

How can I fly more sustainably from Melbourne to India?

Accepted Answer

Passengers also have a major part to play in ensuring sustainable travel. First, avoid single-use plastic on flights, and instead, bring your own reusable stuff. Bring your own headphones and reusable water bottle instead of using the airline’s disposable headphones and single-use plastic cups. You can also try packing lighter. Avoid surpassing the airline’s baggage weight limits as this leads to overloading, which means the aircraft burns more fuel and pollutes more. Since there’s no direct flight, choose the next best thing, a single-layover flight, since it is faster and pollutes less than a double-layover flight. Finally, prioritize flying with airlines that have taken steps to minimize their carbon footprint, such as those mentioned above.

Question 22

How long is the flight from Melbourne to India?

Accepted Answer

It depends on where you would like to go. You can fly directly to Delhi from Melbourne in around 13 to 14 hours. Alternatively, hop on a flight to cities like Chennai, Goa, Jaipur and Mumbai. There will be a stopover, so expect the journey to last several hours longer - a flight to Chennai from Melbourne for example will take around 13 to 14 hours with a stop.

Accepted Answer

Air India is the only company that offers direct cheap flights from Melbourne to India. Its planes travel to Delhi.

First things first – when is the best time to book a cheap flight from Melbourne to India? Most people travel between November and March, when cities like Agra and Mumbai are warm and dry. That said, the climate varies hugely over the whole country. Tropical states like Goa have rainy seasons, snow dusts the Keralan Mountains, and Rajasthan offers sweeps of bone-dry desert.

That starts to give you an idea of just how diverse India is. These vast landscapes of jungle, mountains, beaches and desert give way to megacities with must-sees like the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort.

Question 27

How busy are the airports in Melbourne and India?

Accepted Answer

Flights to India from Melbourne are primarily served by Melbourne Airport (MEL), a short distance northwest of the central business district. The airport has four terminals, all with plenty of shopping and dining options both landside and airside, including 24 hour options. India’s three busiest airports are Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM), and Kempegowda International Airport (BLR), all three of which have connections with Melbourne Airport in Australia. Indira Gandhi International Airport is a short distance from the New Delhi city centre and has three terminals, with the international Terminal 3 being the newest and best serviced. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport is a medium distance from the city centre of Mumbai, and has two terminals, with international flights being served by more modern Terminal 2 with better facilities. Kempegowda International Airport is a fair distance north of the city centre of Bangalore, but is a modern, award winning airport with a single passenger terminal that is well serviced with shopping and dining options.

Question 28

Which airlines fly directly from Melbourne to India?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, due to the distance between Australia and India, no airlines currently offer a direct flight from Melbourne to India. The quickest flights usually make a single stopover in South East Asia, in the airline’s home nation. For example, Malaysian Airlines will take around 13 hours and 40 minutes to get from Melbourne to Bangalore with a stop in Kuala Lumpur; Singapore Airlines will get to Delhi from Melbourne in around 13 to 14 hours, stopping in Singapore; and SriLankan Airlines will reach Mumbai in 14 hours and 30 minutes with a stop in Sri Lanka.

Question 29

What are the stopover options between Melbourne to India?

Accepted Answer

The stopover options between Melbourne to India are generally countries in the south of Asia en route to India, such as Malaysia, Singapore and Sri Lanka. In which cases, they are the fastest flights available as well. However, detours to places like Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (with Emirates) or Doha in Qatar (with Qatar Airways), can be more than double the duration of the shortest flights, and do not generally make the airfares cheaper either.

Question 30

Do I need a passport or visa to fly from Melbourne to India?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you definitely need a passport to leave Australia, and all foreigners except for Nepalese, Bhutanese and Maldivian nationals will need a visa to enter India. A tourist visa can be obtained online and should be obtained at least four days before arriving. The visa allows 90 days of stay per entry and is valid for one year. A tourist visa is affordable and can be processed in five days or less.
