any of you guys flown with Qatar airways ?

[Maddison]

me and.the mrs have decided to make a surprise christmas visit back to the uk to spend some time with the family . been looking at flights recently. we usually fly emirates as reasonably priced but roughly around the £1100 return each which i thought was abit too much for both of us, qatar had a promotional offer on which worked out at £670 each return which was cheaper than malaysia airlines and china airlines etc . anyway we booked it via their website just wanted abit of feedback as to what they are like ?.. thanks , maddison

they're big metal tubes with wings like birds. the better ones have 4 engines in case 1 or 2 break.

Yes i've flown with them on several occasions, to the Middle/Far East as well as here to China, they are up there with the very best of them. You'll not be disappointed. I think they are one of the few airlines as being rated 5 star, ....or was!! lol!!

Yep, many times over. As Eng says - you're in safe hands and a well stocked drinks trolley.

I've flown them a few times long haul as well. They're as good as any other airline.

Maybe because it's not a direct flight (as such) from LON to SYD, so check the stopover time at Doha, it maybe over the standard 1 hour in which case you may have to exit the plane or change aircraft. Have you checked to overall flight Depart and Arrive times between LON-SYD??

Or it could well be a straight promotional offer that all airlines come up with to put bums on seats if they are forecasting a slump during a certain period (most airline seats are booked 2 to 3 months in advance)... or want to get a good market share of a known busy period.

I would have thought you needed a Sydney to London return is that why it's cheap

ha no but i was waiting for someone to say that. we already have a return leg to use ( emirates from adelaide to london next month ) this is for our flight back to Australia, we like to have a return available just incase we needed to get home for any reason and not pay through the roof
