Flight time: around 7 hours

Route overview

Qatar Airways operates multiple direct daily flights from London Heathrow to Doha, making it one of the best-served routes on this list — one of the few UK routes with genuine choice of departure time.

Tips for this route

With several daily direct options, it's worth comparing an early-morning departure (arriving in Doha in time for an evening in Souq Waqif) against an overnight flight if you'd rather sleep through most of the journey.
