Through 16 October Qatar Airways is offering some pretty fantastic Business Class fares between Europe and Asia/Africa but there’s one slight catch – most of these fares are for companion booking which means you need to purchase two seats together to get the best deals.
There are some good deals for solo travel too but the best fares you’ll find are for two passengers traveling together.
I’m not going to go into great details about these fares as they’ve been covered pretty extensively elsewhere…but here’s what you need to know.
- Book travel by 16 October 2017
- Travel by 31 May 2018 (all travel must be complete by this date)
- Minimum stay is 2 nights
- Stopovers are allowed (free in Doha)
- With the exception of the fares from Athens all of these fares will earn 560 Tier Points if you’re crediting flights to the British Airways Executive Club – that’s 93% of the Tier Points needed for Silver status.
- These fares are great for racking up a good number of American Airlines Elite Qualifying Dollars as they’re earned on the distance traveled.
Europe to Asia/Africa Deals
Here are some of the deals I’ve noticed for departures originating in Europe – these are not all the deals, just some that caught my eye.
