Kuwait Airways to operate 13 daily flights to Doha

Kuwait Airways would operate 13 daily flights to Doha to allow football fans to experience the FIFA World Cup 2022, according to news agency KUNA.

The number of flights would decrease as the tournament progresses, it added.

Kuwait Airways CEO Maen Razouqi said Kuwait Airways Holidays offices and the 171-call centre would offer packages that would include tickets for the matches and flights starting from KD 200 (around QR2,600).

The FIFA World Cup organizing committee had specified regulations concerning luggage. Therefore, travellers are advised to bring only carry-on baggage during their trip, he noted.

Economy class travellers are allowed to carry luggage not exceeding 7 kg, while business and first class are allowed to carry bags not exceeding 10 and 15 kg respectively. Those who have extended stay in Qatar are allowed to bring the suitable amount of luggage and could book their tickets according to the regular flights between Kuwait and Doha, Razouqi said.

He added that after booking the tickets and flights, clients should enter these details into the Qatari Hayya application to enable them to attend matches. He revealed that Qatar would be handling transportation of fans to and from the venues free of charge and through Hayya application.
