price varies from time to time. if u book it well in advance u get a very low fare. its not only in qatar airways, its same for all airlines. most of all the airlines are using GALILIO system to do the ticketing.

It is better to go direct at Qatar Airways. Yes thebigticket is correct, the earlier the better since when date is nearer the Airline ticket price will be higher as compared when you book on the earlier date. But just be sure on the dates since if the ticket is issued and you want to change it for any reason, you will pay a penalty of Qr 500.00 as a minimum.

Seasonal dates also is a factor. Mostly Airlines charge higher fares on peak season than on low season for obvious reason.

Agencies such as Regency, World Travel, Al Deera, Cleopatra, etc.. are good choices.

Check kayak.com or orbitz. com. They will not only tell you the cheapest price but also the cheapest days to travel.

As mentioned by Baldrick2Dogs, cheaper tickets have a lot of restrictions and as the price goes higher it's becoming more flexible.

If you plan ahead and is pretty much certain of your travel dates, you can go for the cheaper types. If you are not sure, you might end up spending more.

There are different prices for different types of ticket.

Check the validity and cost of changing later. Full priced tickets allow most changes, cheaper tickets you are stuck with whatever you book.

As your date of travel gets closer the higher the price goes because lower priced tickets are being bought first(particularly during peak periods).

So....the best thing you can do is to plan early and book in advance. In that way, you can take advantage of availing the lower priced tickets.
