Qatar Airways to increase Dhaka-Doha flights from April 1

In a move to provide passengers with additional travel options, Qatar Airways today announced to launch a third daily flight between Dhaka and Doha from April 1.

Qatar Airways currently operates double-daily flights from Dhaka and will be increasing its frequency to three-times-daily non-stop flights, according to a Qatar Airways press release.

To celebrate the additional daily flights from Dhaka, Qatar Airways is offering a special offer of up to 30 percent discount on both Economy and Business Class fares with sales validity till March 2, 2017 for travel between April 1 and December 10, 2017, the release read.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Akbar Al Baker, said: "Qatar Airways launched services to Dhaka 20 years ago and our travellers have continued to benefit from the airline's significant growth, access to excellent connections into the airline's growing network, and award-winning service. The increase in flights provides added convenience for our passengers, and caters to strong passenger demand for those travelling to and from Bangladesh."

Flight departure and arrival times offer seamless connections to a variety of destinations in the GCC, Europe, Africa, the Americas, and cities on the airline's network as far away as Philadelphia and New York in the US. In addition, passengers will soon be able to benefit from easy access to further new destinations as Qatar Airways will launch flights to Las Vegas in the US and two new destinations in Saudi Arabia this year – Yanbu and Tabuk, the release added.

Currently, Qatar Airways operates Dhaka to Doha flights with an Airbus A330, in a two-class cabin configuration featuring 30 seats in Business Class and 275 Economy Class seats. The additional daily A330 service will depart Dhaka in the evening – promising to be highly popular among those heading to the US, Europe and the Middle East.

Qatar Airways' world-class on board service offers all passengers access to up to 3,000 entertainment options via Oryx One and a delicious selection of cuisine which is designed to ensure a memorable in-flight experience.
