In early 2025, Qatar Airways announced plans to launch service to two new destinations in South America, as part of a triangle flight. However, nothing actually came of that… until now. Qatar Airways has just once again announced these plans, and service will start in the coming weeks.

Yeah, I’mm’a hold off on any connections through Doha… or Caracas… anytime soon.

I know, I know… it’s not a ‘war’… it’s a ‘special military operation’ and ‘just two more weeks,’ or whatever, but, there’s drones and missiles… that’s a nope for me, dawg.

Wonder if this will frequently get the two LRs without Q suites, which was a common problem on flights to GRU.
Also that arrival time back into DOH seems a bit late, misses most of the evening connections.

I was checking fares for August and only saw the 2-2-2 J cabin available, sadly.

More drones have hit Dubai than Doha.

Dubai kept operating through out, the major part of the war is actually over, there's lesser frequency on the attacks now.

At least they're not marketing it as Q suite then. It's a fine product for 3 hours to Cairo, don't want the 20 year old business class seats on 14+ hours to South America

To QR's credit, even the photo they show during the booking process is accurate (2-2-2).

Withe 2 2 2 configuration on business is not worth it better through Madrid

It will be interesting on crew pairings for this flight. I seriously doubt they will overnight in CCS, therefore it's a 4 night, almost 5 day layover in BOG flying, DOH-BOG/layover, BOG-CCS-DOH. Lots lots of downtime in a city that doesn't have all that much to see, and is generally very cool year round given it's 8,000ft.

'Cool year round'? Compared to what? Doha?

Meaning, it's not really a pool vacation. It gets chilly given it's altitude.

One upping EK with this routing. EK goes to BOG via MIA. SO takes longer.

The only thing being the choice of equipment. Wonder if they could press back into service all those aircraft parked in IST, MEL, SYD.

Will QR carry local traffic on BOG-CCS? Civil Aviation in Colombia (the entity that handles route authorities) may or may not sanction this.

The route could be lucrative, AV at one point flew it 4 x day.
I'm sure demand is less now, but nonetheless could be lucrative.

I expect award availability on this route will be very easy to come by

Maybe it is worth it for some people? Don't be so dismissive and entitled.

BOG-MIA is already handled by EK which has no issues, so Aerocivil wont complain at all.
