Flight time: around 14–15 hours
Route overview
One of the longest direct routes into Doha, operated by Qatar Airways and a popular option for Australians heading on to Europe, given Doha's convenient onward connections.
Tips for this route
On a route this long, it's worth deliberately building in a Doha stopover rather than treating it as a same-day connection — even 24 hours is enough to see the highlights before continuing on to Europe.
