11 Ways to Save Money on Qatar Airways

1. Join the Qatar Airways frequent flyer program, Privilege Club

​If you’re not a frequent flyer member, you should become one before booking your flight ticket, because: 

1. You’ll earn bonus miles on your first flight as a member. 
2. If you register for offers in the membership section, you may find on-sale offers to earn 2x – 5x miles on your airfare.
3. You can transfer your frequent flyer benefits to one world alliance airlines such as British Airways, Japan Airlines, Cathay Pacific, and Qantas.

After you register, you will continue receiving offers from time to time.

2. Look for Sales Offers from Nearby Cities 

Qatar Airways fares (Economy, Premium Economy, and Business) can vary a lot depending on your departure city, especially if you’re departing from Brussels (Belgium), Sofia (Bulgaria), Stockholm (Sweden), or from Oslo (Norway). This can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars, even if means travelling a few hours to catch your flight from a nearby airport. ​

3. Book During a Sales Promotion Period 

Qatar Airways runs sales promos from time to time. These include the Global Boutique Sale in January every year, when you can enjoy 30 – 40% discounts on fares, as well as 2x – 3x bonus miles on your ticket. This is followed by other Global Sales offers, when you can earn 2x miles on your flight booking, as well as discounted flight bookings. To stay current with the sales offers, subscribe to the Qatar Airways newsletter.

4. Travel to New Route on Offer

Every year, Qatar Airways promotes new flight destinations at special prices. If you’re travelling on a holiday, exploring these new destinations can not only spice up your holiday but also help you save you a lot money if you travel within the first couple of months of the offer being announced. Subscribe to the newsletter, and be on the lookout for such offers.

5. Fly Business from “Cheaper” European Cities

A £4,000 London – Melbourne return ticket can cost almost 50% if you to take a cheap 1–2-hour flight to Stockholm or Oslo and fly from there instead. As long as you make sure you don’t book your connecting flight too close to your departure time, you’ll do just fine.

6. Book Directly with Qatar Airways 

​Booking directly with Qatar Airways (online, with the mobile app, or by phone) has many benefits. Many travel agents will either charge you more for flight changes or cancellations or not allow you to change or cancel your ticket even if the airline allows it.

7. Take Advantage of Discount Codes 

Look for PROMO codes in your emails and newsletters. Qatar often offers PROMO codes with discounts ranging from 5 – 20%, which can save you hundreds of dollars on your airfare.

8. Avoid Overpacking 

Qatar Airways offers a decent baggage allowance on most Economy Class fares (66lb/30kg/passenger). Although frequent flyers get to carry extra baggage, overweight baggage can cost you USD 40 per kilo or even more if you’re flying further. Make sure you pack within your allowance, and always weight your bags at home before leaving for the airport. ​

9. Use Qatar Airways Lounges

If you want to purchase lounge access, go with a lounge used by Qatar Airways—it’ll be cheaper. 

10. Take Advantage of Student Club if You Qualify
    If you’re a student between 18–30 years, you may qualify for Student Club benefits such as specially discounted fares, extra baggage allowance, complimentary Super Wi-Fi, free date change flexibility, and more.
