Qatar Airways Year End Promotion for flights from Singapore

Year end usually means flight promotions for airlines. Qatar Airways is also offering year end promotion for flights from Singapore to many destinations in Europe and USA. Return fares below include all taxes, fees and surcharges, which are subject to change due to currency fluctuations.

For the flights to Europe and USA, you need to transfer to another plane in Qatar Airways' hub in Doha.

I am frequently using Qatar Airways to fly to Istanbul and as far as I can see, many of my friends and colleauges fly with it to Europe. There is a huge price difference in Qatar Airways and other airlines although the airline's service is very good. This is because although the airline is 5-Star, you still need to transfer in Doha but this small inconvenience saves a lot compared to direct flight to your destination.

I have recently flew to Istanbul from Singapore on Qatar Airways for only 950 Singapore Dollars (return flight) thanks to its Big World Promotion. The airline is super but the Doha Airport, which is very small to carry the load of Qatar Airways, has some inconveniences such as bus transfer from plane to the terminal (which can put you in a stressful run if your plane lands late to catch your next flight) and there are several terminals and you need to leave in the correct one (again a problem if you have limited time the next flight). A new international airport is under construction in Doha so this inconveniences will be history soon.

Below are the Qatar Airways Year End Promotion flights. For booking go to Qatar Airways special offers.

May, General Manager of Five Star Alliance.

Danilo Zucchetti, Managing Director at Villa d’Este Hotels had this to say about awards for both Villa La Massa in Florence (a Top 50 Hotels winner) and Villa d’Este, Lake Como (a Top 50 and Best Honeymoon Hotels winner). “We are delighted that Five Star Alliance has named us as two of the World’s Best Hotels for 2014. At both our properties, beautiful surroundings, attention to detail, and outstanding standards of service is what has made us two of the world’s best luxury hotels.”

“We're honored by the selection and greatly appreciate the restaurant award,” said World’s Best Restaurant Hotel and Top 50 World's Best Hotels’ Trout Point Lodge co-owner and chef Vaughan Perret. “Everyone at the lodge works extremely hard to provide guests with a truly exceptional dining experience, but given our wilderness location and size, we often don't get noticed in the worldwide restaurant ratings.”
