Qatar announces more US flight options

Qatar Airways will operate four weekly flights from South Africa (via Doha) – including Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town – to San Francisco from December 15.

The San Francisco service will be operated by the airline’s Airbus A350-900 aircraft, with 36 seats in the award-winning Qsuite business class and 247 seats in economy class.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Akbar Al Baker, said: “We are excited to welcome San Francisco as our newest destination, and our ninth current gateway in the US. We have made it a priority to not only reinstate our existing destinations but to also grow our network and increase connectivity with new and relevant destinations for our customers to enjoy. As the gateway to Silicon Valley and the vibrant tech economy, the San Francisco Bay Area is a globally important destination, both from a business and leisure perspective.”

To provide travellers with peace of mind when booking travel, Qatar Airways has extended its commitment to offering passengers flexible booking options, now available for all tickets issued before December 31. If passengers need to change their travel plans, they can hold their ticket value for two years, benefit from unlimited date changes, or exchange their ticket for a future travel voucher with 10% extra value.
