Qatar Airways has launched a new promotion in partnership with Visa (you’ll need to have a Visa card to participate). The airline hasn’t revealed what sort of discounts we can expect in all territories (some regions are showing a discount of “up to 10%”) but, with the promotion valid for travel in all cabins, it’s well worth checking out to see if you can save on any trips you’re thinking of booking.

As I’m writing this before the sale has officially opened I can’t actually try out the promo code to see just how good the deals are but, having said that, I can still make an educated guess as to which departure cities will have some of the better deals on offer (these don’t vary much from promotion to promotion).
If you’re based in the US then the deals will probably be evenly spread across the country so checking the Qatar Airways US promotion page (link here) will show you what’s on offer but, if you’re based in Europe and are willing to position to get a good deal, I would check out these countries’ websites first:
There’s no guarantee that there will be any stunning deals available but this is Qatar Airways we’re dealing with so if there aren’t at least a few good Business Class (or even Economy Class) fares out there I’ll be very surprised.
Happy hunting and let me know if you find anything worth broadcasting 🙂
