Qatar Airways overview

Qatar Airways is a network airline based in Doha, Qatar. The airline uses IATA code QR, ICAO code QTR and the callsign QATARI. IATA lists the legal name as Qatar Airways Company (W.L.L.).

Most Qatar Airways flights are built around the Doha hub at Hamad International Airport. A single itinerary can include Qatar Airways-operated flights, oneworld partners, interline sectors or codeshares, so passengers should check the operating carrier before relying on baggage, check-in or special-service rules.

Qatar Airways routes

Qatar Airways routes connect Doha with destinations in Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Africa and the Americas. The network changes by season, aircraft, demand and traffic rights, so the examples below are route examples rather than a guarantee for every travel date.

  • European examples may include Doha to London Heathrow, Paris, Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, Vienna, Zurich, Amsterdam, Rome, Milan, Madrid, Warsaw, Stockholm, Athens, Tbilisi and Yerevan.
  • Asia-Pacific examples may include Doha to Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Bangkok, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Seoul, Tokyo, Osaka, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Auckland.

Business and First Class normally include 2 carry-on bags with a combined weight up to 15 kg. On flights departing from the United States, First and Business passengers may be limited to 1 hand baggage item plus 1 personal item because of TSA rules.

Checked baggage is included on Qatar Airways flights, but the allowance changes by fare and route. Economy Lite, Classic, Convenience and Comfort show 20 kg, 25 kg, 30 kg and 35 kg respectively on weight-concept routes, while flights to or from Africa or the Americas use a piece concept: Economy Lite shows 1 piece up to 23 kg and other Economy fare families show 2 pieces up to 23 kg each. Business Class shows 40 kg on weight-concept routes or 2 pieces up to 32 kg each on Africa/Americas routes. First Elite shows 50 kg or 2 pieces up to 32 kg each.
