This morning, Qatar Airways launched a brand-new companion sale on economy and business class flights to Europe and the UK.
I'll be honest, I don't know when I last saw Qatar offering prices this low. My research found that prices are up to 51% lower than those being charged by other airlines at this time.
Prices on the 5-star carrier start from as little as $1157 to mainland Europe (Budapest) or $1295 to Edinburgh in the UK (all prices are return, including tax) when two people book and travel together.
Examples of return prices from Perth include:
- Edinburgh … from $1295
- Manchester … from $1300
- London Heathrow … from $1355
Flights from Adelaide, Melbourne or Sydney are also discounted and are not much more than the above. Qatar now operates 1-stop flights from all four cities.
Business class companion fares are also on sale at the following prices (from Perth):
- Edinburgh … from $6460
- Manchester … from $6465
- London … from $6520
Valid for economy and business class travel on select dates from January 19 until May 27 and from August 3 until November 25.
Book by January 17.
Discounted fares for solo travellers are also available and start from just $1490 (economy) and $6780 (business), return, including tax.

What makes them 5 star?
