Flight time: around 16–17 hours
Route overview
One of the longest scheduled routes into Doha, and — alongside the Sydney route — a key option for New Zealand and Australian travellers heading on to Europe via the Gulf.
Tips for this route
On a route this long, a genuine multi-day Doha stopover is worth serious consideration rather than treating Doha as a same-day connection — you've already committed to the long-haul leg, so a day or two in the city costs relatively little extra.

Once you land, see our complete Doha travel guide for where to stay and what to see, or our one-day itinerary if your time in the city is limited. If you're connecting onward through Doha rather than stopping, our layover guide covers how to make use of a few hours between flights.
