Qatar are now doing return flights from UK in August for 377GBP.

Does that price include all the taxes and fuel supplements?

Yep.

Just booked mine with Qatar yesterday, Gatwick, flying 14th August, returning 14th September, paid £366.69 all inc! Only 1 hour 30 mins layover in Doha each way.

Superb deal from www.ebookers.com

Just about the cheapest Ive ever paid in 8 odd years.

Anyone ever flown with Qatar airways?

Your thoughts?

Always fly with them. Changed over to Etihad for a few trips because they were cheaper, but then they stopped flying out of Gatwick. Join the Qatar frequent fliers club. Worth it for the upgrade. (eventually)

Never had a problem with Qatar. The flight from Dohar to Gatwick is usually fairly empty. I book-in on line 36 hours before flight and book a seat in the middle 4 seats at the rear of the plane. This usually means I can spread out over the 4 seats and get some sleep. Window seats have the in flight entertainment box under the seat in front, restricting leg room.
I'm never one for plane food, but have to admit the steak and kidney pud on the GTW-DOH leg last month was surprisingly good.

I used to fly Qatar out of Paris CDG, no complaints whatsoever except the CDG chek-in always chaotic, did not bother me longtime, got silver FF card with business class check in favor, 10kgs extra luggage and access to business lounge.

Since two years fly Etihad out of Brussels, more convenient to me, but FF program less enchanting, still have access to business lounge and 10 kgs extra.

Flew both companies in business class several times, impressive. Cattle class remains cattle although both fly new Airbuses with excellent in-flight entertainment systems.

Each time I check in at Swampy all looks quite, Qatar next to Etihad (Q row).
