Qatar Qsuite

Oneworld member Qatar Airways is offering cheap Business Class tickets from various European cities to Cairns in Australia. The cheapest flight starts from Belgrade and costs €2,019. While this is a great deal, there are a few hurdles you’ll have to take before you’re able to enjoy it.

  • Belgrade at €2,019
  • Helsinki at €2,097
  • Madrid at €2,168
  • Brussels at €2,291
  • Athens at €2,371
  • Barcelona at €2,467

Flights between Hong Kong and Cairns are operated by Cathay Pacific, using Airbus A330-300 aircraft. Qatar Airways operates Boeing 777-300ERs between Doha and Hong Kong, that may or may not feature Qsuites. Flights from Belgrade, Athens and Helsinki (partly) are operated by A320 aircraft, which eventually haven’t got a refurbished Business Class.

Info

Please be very careful when you book these flights: Qatar Airways downgrades certain flights between Hong Kong and Cairns with a short notice during the booking process. Your booking class and fare remains the same, but you’ll loose the comfort of a Business Class cabin on one or both flights to Australia.

All these factors make this offer more suitable as a mileage run than a way to get to Cairns while enjoying Qatar Airways’ outstanding premium cabin along the way.

Search & Book

It is a bit tricky to find these fares, as neither skyscanner, the Airfare Matrix nor Google Flights displays them. The only way to retrieve them is to use the calendar function on qatarairways.com:

Because these fares are only available on a few select dates, we’ll give you one example per airport on when you can expect to find them:

  • Belgrade: September 9 – September 28
  • Helsinki: June 13 – July 10
  • Madrid: September 23 – October 22
  • Brussels: June 26 – July 3
  • Athens: September 11 – October 10
  • Barcelona: June 12 – July

These are not specific traveldates. Since you can select an out- and an inbound leg seperately, you may find another suiting date yourself.

Fare rules state no restrictions despite that tickets must be purchased five days in advance. A stopover in Doha is free of charge on either the in- or outbound leg. Travel period seems to be between today and October 31, 2019. We can’t tell you how long this offer will be available.
