Qatar are pretty good; but what are the connections like? Have you had a look at e-bookers website?

[daveboro]

Yep... the connects are a bit of a pain.... 8 hour wait in doha....... made me think again lol

Some of the Emirates flights have an eight and a half hour stop in Dubai, which is more tolerable cos of the Irish Bar in Dubai. In Doha there is nothing....I tend to think that these long stopovers are reflected in the price of the flight. I am goin China Airlines in Dec...Newcastle-Amsterdam (two and a half hours stop)then straight to Bkk (10 hrs), and the same on the way back.... Bring it on!!!Oh... £561...

\Try Eva Air direct from Heathrow (well i go from there) my trip 17-27 nov £435 all in

Yes Qatar are OK. I flew with them a couple of yrs ago, on par with Emirates and Etihad!

 

If you are flexible on your dates, try shuffling the dates around, to get a shorter stop over. Try booking a Wednesday I find it is alway quieter. 8 hours stop over is far too long!

I could never spend 8 hours in a airport waiting for my connecting flight. So I would look for a flight that cost a little more but only had a short wait for my connecting flight

[gmoule]

i got etihad leaving 1st nov-nov 17 with a 2 hour stop on way out and 1 1/2 on way back,for 370 leaving heathrow....happy days,although if i booked a month earlier had a ff offer off them to travel for 330 but had no funds spare lol

[peejay]

I,ve used them a couple of times been very good but you have to check

the change over times at Doha mine were ok 2-3 hours, but a mate went

flow with them last Xmas paid cheaper price than me but had to wait

13 Hours in Doha no way for me.

So check first ok

Greetings

Just returned from LOS a week ago.I have returne flight with QA to LGW.QA are one of the only six official 5* airways in the world.

The service and flight quality are superb,but try prebook your seats.Best economy seat on Airbus 330/300 is 31A or 31K

(next emergency exit).As for the price it's a pure BARGAIN.

Go For It!!!

i,ve used asda many times no problem sometime cheaper than emerates site it self,watch the times for change over at connecting airport,also cheaper booking about 4 week before you go.

I've only recently heard about the Asda site and have heard some good reports off the site. I've already got my next flights booked with another company. So in January I will look at the Asda site for my July/August trip
