Qatar Airways has made something of a name for itself in recent times with regular sales in its Business Class cabins. For four days only however, the Doha-based carrier is offering some very competitive Economy Class fares to a selection of destinations from an advertised £295 return. In practice, tax calculations may actually bring the fares down to just over £290.

Fares must be booked by Friday 23rd January 2015 for travel between 25th January and 31st March 2015. The principal additional stipulation is that outbound travel from London must be on flight QR4 – which, happily, is scheduled for Airbus A380 operation.

The Special Offers page at qatarairways.com lists all available fares in full, including those from Qatar’s other UK departure points of Manchester and Edinburgh. The £295 fare is currently available to Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Kuwait; Bahrain is from £300, Muscat from £305 and Sharjah from £400. Passengers may also be able to sample the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner on selected inbound services.

Fares book into ‘O’ Class and, for members of the British Airways Executive Club, earn discount economy Tier Points, and Avios at a rate of 25% of flown mileage.

In addition, and although not included in this sale, the airline is also offering flights to Bangkok from £425 return and to Hong Kong from £430 return. All flights connect through the newly-opened Doha King Hamad International Airport.
