The latest Qatar Airways sale is ending tomorrow (16 January) so you’re running out of time if you want to book some of the fantastic Business Class fares the airline is offering between Europe and Australia/Asia.
While sometimes the better Qatar Airways deals are dependent on two people flying together (a companion fare) this isn’t one of those occasions – all the good deals that I’ve looked at can be booked by one or more flyers.

Qatar Airways Business Class Fares To Australia
I first wrote about these last Monday so availability isn’t as good as it was a weeks ago….but there are still great deals to be had.
ITA Matrix is still showing good availability for fantastic Business Class fares to Sydney from Oslo and Stockholm (you may need to depart from one and arrive back into the other)….
…and, as you can see from the screenshots below, these fares can easily be found on QatarAirways.com:
A sub-€1,700 Business Class fare between Europe and Australia is nothing short of stunning and the fact that it’s available on a true premium airline like Qatar Airways is the icing on the cake.
Similar fares can be found out of Oslo and Stockholm to other cities in Australia including Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.
Qatar Airways Business Class Fares To Asia
As usual there are a host of different cities in Asia you can visit while making the most of the Qatar Airways sale and, just like with the fares to Australia, almost all the best deals are to be found for departures from Scandinavia. These are just a few examples:
Helsinki to Bangkok roundtrip Business Class can easily be booked from around €1,180 (but with a bit of flexibility you may find a fare that’s even cheaper)
A roundtrip Business Class fare between Helsinki and Chiang Mai can be found for pretty much the same great price:
Other great fares out of Helsinki include:
- Tokyo – from €1,458
- Ho Chi Minh City – from €1,453
- Delhi – from €1,508
Here’s a link to the Qatar Airways sale page for more deals out of Finland
Deals out of Oslo/Stockholm Include:
Note: you may need to depart from one city and arrive back into the other to get the best fares

Advice
Before booking these fares you should consider what aircraft Qatar Airways is offering on the various routes and because on some routes more than one aircraft type is offered you should be aware of the differences.
Personally I prefer the A380, 787, A350 aircraft in the Qatar Airways fleet (and the 777’s equipped with the new QSuites) so I would always choose those over the other aircraft….but the A320 Business Class cabin is surprisingly ok (reviewed here) and it’s not like you’re going to have a terrible experience if you fly the A330 or the regular 777 (I’m actually flying in the A330 later this month).
The excellent Qatar Airways 787 Business Class cabin (reviewed here)
If you don’t live in one of the countries where these great Business Class fares originate you’ll have to position to them to make the most of this sale….so make sure you read this post on what you need to be careful of when booking your positioning flights.
Bottom Line
There are some truly fantastic fares on offer in this sale (especially to Australia) so don’t forget that the deals end tomorrow and availability will only get wose the longer you delay booking.
