4774Papa Posted February 12, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Qatar Airways or Turkish Airlines best price We have never flown on either airlines. Prices for either of these airlines is $500 pp less than flying Delta/KLM, which is our preferred choice. If you have flown on these airlines, do you have any comments? I know that most of the other Gulf States have a beef with Qatar over sporting terrorism. I have been to the UAE and it was nice. I know the USA has a military base in Qatar.

I live in the UAE and have flown with both, although not longhaul with Turkish Airlines. Qatar Airways are very good, very similar standard to Etihad or Emirates and with their home terminal in Doha transit to ongoing flights is easy. Unfortunately, with the current travel embargo that route is currently not available to those of us based in the UAE but they were a very popular choice prior to that with many residents travelling between here and our home countries...

Omega1 Posted February 15, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Flown long haul with Qatar three times (Japan and South Africa twice). I rate them very highly - as Jayayeff says, they are on a par with Emirates. Much better than Delta/KLM in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotswold Eagle Posted February 18, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I flew back to the UK from Abu Dhabi on Qatar via Doha after a repositioning Suez Cruise in late 2016 (when that option was still available, of course). I would have no hesitation in choosing them over Turkish, who I have flown several times to Eastern Europe and Central Asia, usually in preference to budget or local options. Ataturk airport in Istanbul struggles to cope with Turkish aspirations to be a global carrier and changing there can be a zoo. You don’t say when you are travelling, but I understand the new Istanbul airport is scheduled to open later this year. That may be better, but all things being equal, Qatar over Turkish for me.

Rare PaulMCO Posted March 3, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Where are you going?? What class of service Like Qatar. Turkish is OK. Nice thing about Turkish is a free stopover in Istanbul. Qatar excels in the Business product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
