How to Get to Qatar

Fly into Doha Hamad International Airport (DOH) on Qatar Airways, which is Qatar’s national airline. The airline, which is known for its luxurious business class Q suites, services more than 150 destinations worldwide. If Qatar is a stopover on your flight to a different destination, the airline has a stopover program that includes stopovers of one to four nights in Qatar. Other airlines such as British Airways, Turkish Airlines, Japan Airlines, and Cathay Pacific also service Qatar.
