Qatar Airways has launched an ‘Australia Day’ promotion with special fares from the UK to both Australia and New Zealand from £579. The lowest fare is offered in conjunction with the airline’s debut services from Cardiff Wales Airport (CWL) to Doha, commencing on 1st May 2018.

The airline is also promoting the opportunity to save an addition 10% on the base fare when booking through ‘mobile’ channels, using a tablet or smartphone and the code ‘GOMOBILE‘.

In practice the lowest available fare between Cardiff and Perth is actually showing on qatarairways.com at £569.47, almost £10 under the advertised £579:

However, the additional 10% discount then appears to be slightly less than might otherwise be expected:

Note that the GOMOBILE code is not restricted to Australia and New Zealand however; it should work on other routes, too.

Members of the British Airways Executive Club earn Avios at the rate of 25% of flown miles, with the promotional fares booking into ‘W’ class.
