Hi all,
I just signed with qatar airways and I was wondering how are the housing conditions in QR?
Do they offer housing all the times or you may end up spending the few Qrs allowance they offer plus a big part of your salary on housing?
Cheers

Just take the house or you will have to shell out quite an amount! There is no trick or catch. The point is QR has rented out buidings and wants the staff to stay there, So the allowance is small.

Thanks Colt for the answer,

The contract says that qatar airways can choose either to give me a flat or an allowance (very low about 3500) what does this mean? Do you think they're trying to trick me or it's a regular clause in the contract?

Thanks for the answer

If you have a family, it's better to take housing if they are offering you. 2 bedroom apartments cost nothing less that QAR 6,500 p.m. If it's your lucky day, you may get something at QAR 6,000... 1 bedroom apartments are a few and not freely available... so do the math and good luck!
