Great news for Aussies! Virgin Australia has just announced a new partnership with Qatar Airways, which means travellers can now book flights to over 100 international destinations. Starting next June, you can fly from Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth to Doha, with Melbourne flights coming later in the year. And the best part? Return flights from Perth to Paris will only cost $1791!
But here's the catch - even though you'll be booking through Virgin, you'll actually be flying on Qatar Airways planes. But don't worry, because according to Virgin Australia Group CEO Jayne Hrdlicka, this partnership is a major win for Australian travellers. Not only does it offer more value and choice, but it also opens up a world of opportunities for those looking to travel overseas. With 28 new weekly services to Doha, passengers will now have access to over 100 destinations around the world on Qatar's network.
And it's not just European destinations that are on offer. How does a return flight from Sydney to London for $1982 sound? Or a trip from Brisbane to Rome for $1945? And if you've been dreaming of exploring the Middle East or Africa, now is your chance. These new overseas routes are expected to bring in over $3 billion to the visitor economy in the next five years.
But before you start planning your next adventure, keep in mind that this partnership between Virgin and Qatar is still awaiting final regulatory approval. So let's keep our fingers crossed and hope for a smooth process. In the meantime, get ready to pack your bags and jet off to some amazing international destinations with Virgin Australia and Qatar Airways. Bon voyage!
