Someone brought up an interesting topic to talk about. Qatar Airways fairs. Qatar Airways is a great airline, in fact I encourage people to get a Privelage card and explain how to get QMiles fast here. I’ve always had amazing service, they have almost always left on time (and in some cases early!), and to be honest I think they deserve the title of a 5-star airline (the other 5 star ones being Singapore, Asiana, Cathay Pacific, and Malay Air).

Something just doesn’t make sense though. Why is it that people in Qatar have to pay more to travel to a country directly than any other airline?

I’ll give an example. As some may know from my past blog post, I’m going to be going to Tokyo soon. The price of a ticket was around 9,000 QR for a return econoomy ticket. First I was like ‘wtf?’ but then gave into the fact that that’s the way things are priced. After doing a bit of searching (Emirates was around 8380 QR), I realized that if I traveled from Qatar to Bahrain (750 QR) then travelled Bahrain to Tokyo (the route is Bahrain, Doha, Tokyo, Doha, Bahrain), it’s 5600QR, So that means it’s so much more cheaper to just take an extra route despite there being more ‘travel’.

Yes I know that in general it costs less if there are more transit points, but Bahrain is just 20 mins away!

But here’s a funny update, I just decided to check how much it costs to travel from Doha to Tokyo again and it’s 6,000 QR total! The price went down! It’s now cheaper for me to go from Qatar to Japan than from Bahrain to Japan.
