Despite three airlines offering the popular direct route from NYC to Doha, all journeys are operated by Qatar Airways. The flights are nicely spaced out for travellers, with the first departing at 1.20 a.m., followed by 10.25 a.m. and 8.20 p.m. All flights depart from John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK) and land at Hamad International Airport (DOH). The journey takes 12 hours 25 minutes in total, with a flight distance of 6,671 miles.
Qatar Airways
The Qatari government-owned airline operates three direct long-distance flights per day from NYC to Doha. The 9.20 p.m. flight looks good for those wishing to combat jet lag. If you can sleep on the 12 hour journey, you’ll arrive in Doha by late afternoon. This is a popular business class route, with tickets costing north of £8,000. An economy ticket starts at around £600. Qatar boasts excellent reviews and their economy baggage allowance is extremely generous – up to 46 kg of allowed, plus hand luggage.
