Which airlines fly direct from Melbourne to Islamabad?

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to catch any direct flights from Melbourne to Islamabad. But you can find a few that offer short travel times, regardless of whether they make one or two stopovers in-between. The shortest is a Sunday flight from Melbourne Tullamarine Airport (MEL) to Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport (SYD) on Jetstar, where you’ll transfer to Qantas to fly to Islamabad International Airport (ISB). The flight takes about 14h and 30min. The next shortest flights are those offered by Emirates, with a stopover at Dubai International (DXB) and a second stop at Karachi Quaid-E-Azam International (KHI). Here you’ll transfer to Pakistan International Airlines for the last leg to Islamabad. This will take around 22h and 40min. Otherwise, there’s a flight on the same route that takes about 25h and 25min. There are many other one-stop Melbourne to Islamabad flights, but these take longer, from 29h to 39h.

What are the benefits of the different airports in Melbourne and Islamabad?

Tullamarine Airport is a fully-fledged international flight hub, so it offers much more than just the basics for travellers. You can catch return and one-way flights from Melbourne to Islamabad. You’ll find a large selection of restaurants, fast-food kiosks, coffee shops and bars. Your shopping needs are catered for in the main Departures hall, where you’ll find everything from newsagents to boutiques and Australian products, and a large duty-free area is available once you’ve passed through security. There’s a children’s play area in Terminal 2, and baby change facilities are available. Passengers who need limited mobility assistance and hidden disability assistance are also personally looked after. Islamabad Airport also offers Passenger Facilitation Services that offer airport guidance and luggage assistance. These services are also available to elderly passengers, where you’ll be expedited through the arrivals process. Inside the airport, you’ll find coffee shops, fresh-baked goods stores and other refreshment centres.

What is the best way to get in and out of airports in Melbourne and Islamabad?

Getting to the airport to catch flights from Melbourne to Islamabad is most easily achieved by getting to the Skybus Coach Terminal in central Melbourne, located on Spencer Street. The Skybus departs every 20min from early morning into the evening. It’s a dedicated airport transit service and takes about 30min. If you drive yourself or take a taxi, it will take about 20min to get to the airport. Another alternative is to book one of the on-demand shuttles that Jayride offers. This is also about a 20-minute trip. Public transport isn’t as readily available on the Pakistan side, so once you’ve landed at Islamabad International, your best option is to book a hire car or catch a taxi. This won’t take long as it’s a trip of only about 15min . Which cities can you get to from Islamabad airport? Flights from Melbourne to Islamabad land in Pakistan’s popular tourist region, so you’ll immediately have surrounding cities and towns that are worth visiting and easily reachable from the airport. The only small challenge you’ll have to negotiate is that there isn’t any public transport available, but that’s easily addressed by hiring a car. You’ll find it a more cost-effective way to travel in Pakistan too. The closest city to visit is Rawalpindi, which will only take about 13min to reach, travelling south. Abbottabad is another city worth exploring, about 1h and 30min to the north of Islamabad. Then strike out in a westerly direction to visit Attock, a drive of about 1h and 10min.
