Why is Qatar Airways so Expensive!

QA own BMI. If you want a UK flight, it can be about 100 pounds cheaper if you book through BMI rather than QA. Same schedule, same flight. Its good for people coming to visit from the UK, my friend has just been out for 400 pounds inc taxes from Manchester, the QA price was 500+

if it suits your budget, then go QA. If it doesn't try the others. It's simply business. Nothing else.

Note of caution - December is the High season in LOS and you may have to pay a premium price the the air ticket :(

Try Thai Airways Much cheeper. You fly doha - dubai (Thai Airway Partnership agreement) on QA and Dubai Bkk on Thai Airways. Transit is 2 hours either way. Last Time I travelled QR 2700 all inclusive.

A friend of mine once booked a ticket to Goa using GOA as the airport code. GOA is Genoa!!!

Did you Google it first?

Seems like crappy service cost more with QR...

okay.. sorry for the mistake.. cause i saw the NDIA- new doha int. airport sign and i thought i could call it DIA. ha-ha! my bad.

cheers,

You won't get me on one of their flights!

Also ask yourself, is 800QR worth the time sat around DXB waiting for a connection or should you spend the extra to get there direst?

Did you Google it first?

OK, guys, don't mean to be picky but it's turning into a pet peeve of mine. Doha's international airport is DOH. DIA is Denver.

agree with Airline.....you pay peanuts,u get monkeys!

Keep smiling!

Saggi!

i will only have to pay 500+ taxes from DIA to Heathrow. ha-ha! and i could say a fortune on that.

Usually the "home" airline does have an advantage. It provides more routes and flies direct to their destinations. Therefore it can charge more. If you don't mind stop-overs choose the other carriers on the basiss of cost. I like Expedia for comparing prices.

if you have relatives from Etihad as i do,

they could get you up to 90% discount..

Etihad's nice, brand new fleet.

If you try ETIHAD airlines you will be surprised

from Manila to Doha Qatar airways = over 700 USD

from Manila to Doha Etihad airways= 570 USD

can you leave this country any other way?

you would pay more for that!!!!

Come on people, you are paying high taxes for those QA flights to accommodate those 'Five stars'..

“Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful,”

The Emirates quote is from Doha, via Dubai. price includes return flight from Doha.

So Qatar Airways wants $1300 Canadian for a 6 1/2 hr direct flight.

Calgary Canada to Thailand, which has 2 connections and is a 24 hour flight is only $1600. $300 more.

I don't get how Qatar Airways can justify $1300 Canadian for a 6 1/2 hr flight???

Am I paying for the new airport that I hopefully won't be around to use?

You get what you pay for :) You pay peanuts - you get monkeys:)

Will you have to pay for a flight to the Emirates to catch the Emirates flight?

It's a plot or a conspiracy, drake. And someone is behind it.
