With less than a year to go until the 2022 World Cup, it may be time to start thinking about making those travel arrangements. To help soccer fans make comprehensive travel plans, Qatar Airways has just introduced a host of FIFA packages that include not only airfare and accommodations, but also match tickets and other perks. World Cup fans now have an easy way to guarantee their match tickets to support their favorite team during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™. The airline is also offering a host of additional services and activities to help visitors not only enjoy the World Cup, but also explore Qatar. (For a review of the luxury Mandarin Oriental, click here).

As we have learned from the last year and a half, flexibility is key and Qatar Airways has developed multiple packages and options. Currently, a fan can select his or her favorite team, whose participation in the tournament will be decided based on ongoing FIFA World Cup™ qualifiers. If your team does not qualify for the tournament, you will receive a full refund or you can choose to attend a different match, if available.

The travel packages have multiple permutations and start at $3,800. Guests can stay anywhere from 4 to 13 nights and sign up for between 2-4 matches. Hotel accommodations range from standard to premium. And Doha has some very luxurious hotel options. (For my review of the Ritz Carlton Doha, click here). Once you have put together your ideal package, you add in airport transfers and a range of sightseeing tours that will introduce you to the city of Doha and beyond.

If you are not purchasing one of Qatar Airways’ World Cup packages, you can still enjoy their direct flights from over 140 destinations to Doha. And everyone traveling on Qatar Airways will get to experience the airline’s award-winning service. Skytrax has certified the airline a 5-Star airline for the quality of its seats, amenities, food, cleanliness and staff and has also given the airline a 5-Star COVID-19 Airline Safely Rating. Even those sitting in coach will be impressed with Qatar Airways’ in-flight entertainment system which provides up to 4,000 entertainment options and includes movies, TV box sets, music, and games. On certain flights, passengers will be able to connect with friends and family around the world by using the on-board Wi-Fi and GSM service.

But if you can afford to splurge, there is something very special about Qatar Airways business class service. In addition to exceptional service, Qatar Airways also offers innovations, such as Qsuite, a patented Qatar Airways product, that features the industry’s first-ever double bed in Business Class. Qsuite also boasts privacy panels that stow away, allowing passengers in adjoining seats to create their own private room. Single seats also can be enclosed for privacy. One additional perk—QSuite travelers are granted maximum flexibility and can order anything off the menu anytime during the flight. So, as you pass through multiple time zones, you can enjoy breakfast at midnight or lunch in the evening.
