Pegasus is currently selling flights from Amsterdam to Doha for merely €181. As if that weren’t good enough, the surcharge for bringing 20 kg of luggage is quite low, too, raising the total price to only €229.
Our calendar displays all available dates for trips of 2 – 14 days and will redirect you to Pegasus’ booking site:
From Amsterdam, you would first fly to Istanbul for 3 hours, and then fly on to Doha for another 4 hours. Both flights are operated using an Airbus A321. You won’t be served any food and drinks (for free) on these flights. To give you some price examples, water costs €2, and a meal with a soft drink costs €16. You can see the full menu here.
Search & Book
This deal is valid for flights between October and March, with no further restrictions. Our calendar above displays all available dates for trips of up to 2 weeks. For longer trips, you can check out Google Flights‘ calendar. We highly recommend booking these tickets directly on Pegasus’ website.
Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
Information & Tips for Doha
Doha is the capital of Qatar and the home of Qatar Airways. Since the national airline offers free transit hotels (conditions apply), Qatar might be more than just a stop-over on your flight to or from Asia.
