Qatar Airlines is just a marketing tool for that country. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMac Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 They usually fly a lot of cargo even without passengers. Just don't see the volume for Phuket justifying 4 flights. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharksy Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I'd be tempted to fly in July. Business class with Qatar airways (especially Q Suite) is a treat. Still gets boring on long flights though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cormanr7 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 By the way, the plane in the picture is an A350 (easily recognizable by the 'raccoon' mask), not a B787. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
