Qatar Airways is back with another promotion it’s running in conjunction with Visa (Visa Weekend Deals). As with the last Visa Weekend Deals promotion the discounts and offers will vary from country to country and, as I’m writing this before the sale has gone live across all locations, I can’t see what all the offers are.
What I can tell you is that some countries are showing deals that say “fares starting from xxxx” while others are showing the actual discounts available. These appear to range from 20% (Italy) to an impressive looking 40% (UK).

Thoughts
As I mentioned at the beginning, I’m writing this before the sale has officially started so I can’t actually try out the promo code to see just how good the deals are but, as last time this promo ran, I can still make an educated guess as to which departure cities will have some of the better deals on offer (these don’t vary much from promotion to promotion).
If you’re based in the US then the deals will probably be evenly spread across the country so checking the Qatar Airways US promotion page (link here) will show you what’s on offer but, if you’re based in Europe and are willing to position to get a good deal, I would check out these countries’ websites first:
If you’re looking for a link to the UK page offering “up to 40% off” this is it
There’s no guarantee that there will be any fantastic deals available but this is Qatar Airways we’re dealing with so if there aren’t at least a few good Business Class (or even Economy Class) fares out there I’ll be very surprised.
Happy fare hunting and let me know if you find anything worth bragging about 🙂
