Everyone needs a solid friend in their life. Their go-to mate that’s with them through the good times and the bad. For the travel industry, that friend is Qatar Airways. With their ‘never stop flying’ motto, consistent network increases, and ability to stay connected through thick and thin, they’ve been our solid industry buddy that’s had our back no matter what.

5. With you through thick and thin

When other airlines ceased flight during the pandemic, Qatar Airways had our back as they continued to help Australians reunite, repatriate, and ensure essential international business deals could still go ahead.

Alongside this, Qatar Airways was the first international airline to achieve a 5-star COVID safety rating from Skytrax, highlighting their dedication to minimal risk and maximum safety for all aboard. Today QR continue to operate high hygiene standards, with passenger safety a top priority.

4. Connecting via their expanded network

During the pandemic, Qatar Airways kept hundreds of planes in the sky. As the world has reopened, they are continuing that commitment to connecting your clients (and you) across the globe.

Qatar Airways currently connects to over 150 destinations worldwide. Got clients who want to catch up with their fam in London? Or Paris? Or others who yearn for a dream vacay in Rome? Or Athens with a seasonal add-on to the exotic isles of Santorini or Mykonos? QR is there for them.

Qatar Airways connections aren’t just long-haul bound. They’ve recently boosted their network with increased flight frequency to five times per week on the Adelaide-Auckland route. And, from the 1st of October, QR will resume their daily services to Canberra via Melbourne, expanding their Australian network to 45 weekly flights.

That’s a whole lot of opportunities to travel with Skytrax’s 6-time award-winning ‘World’s Best Airline’ and QSuite’s 2021 ‘World’s Best Business Class’!

3. A commitment to value

For your clients, Qatar Airways’ commitment to providing excellent value is more than welcome. Especially in today’s fuel-hiking travel landscape where every dollar counts, no matter the budget.

It’s not only value they offer on flights, either. Discover Qatar’s ‘World’s Best Value Stopover’ offers accommodation from only AUD $19 per person, per night! Plus, for very affordable splurges, there’s 4- and 5-star luxury hotels available with these incredible stopover deals.

Money saved on hotels means more time for desert adventures, local cultural explorations, world-class shopping, fine dining and more! Plus, every check-in aligns with flight itineraries, so no more soul-destroying, jet-lagging worsening waits for a room. As beautiful as Hamad International Airport is (Skytrax ‘Best Airport in the World’ for 2021), your clients would probably prefer to recalibrate in their chosen hotel instead.

Did you know that QR’s commitment to value extends to you, too? With reports of commission-cutting across a range of airlines, Qatar Airways continues to recognise your support, paying you commissions.

2. Connecting more than flights

Connecting with Qatar Airways is seldom only about bagging a cheap flight. Not when there’s so much extra value and amazing attractions that break up a long-haul journey.

And then there’s their fun factor, too. Did you know that Qatar Airways is the official airline (and partner) of the FIFA World Cup? Yup, taking place in Qatar Airways in November and December, QR will connect thousands of fans, enabling them to experience their favourite sport live!
