CAI-WDH No Fares Offered

Hi Everyone,

I would like to fly CAI-WDH, and I'm looking to fly on Qatar. It seems that they don't offer any fare on this routing. Does anyone have any idea why or if there is a way to book this (maybe by another website?)?

For example, they offer fares on CAI-CPT, CAI-JNB, and even CAI-MAD, so CAI-WDH doesn't seem to be that strange of a routing. I'm looking for any dates in April or May 2017.

Thanks.

UAworldwide it would appear that DOH-WND will not be opening September as announced. The fact that WND is no longer recognised as a destination could mean that it is not just a delay but the route is being abandoned before opening.

Thanks remdk, it is offered from many other starting points, like for example from DOH itself, FRA, MUC, BEY, AMM, etc. So I am not sure the fact that the route might not start is the reason here...

WDH is certainly going ahead, so nothing to do with the destination itself.

Can you fly ALG-WDH for example?

I ask, because it could well be down to certain restrictions regarding Namibian tourism and the existing airlines that fly into Windhoek (which, from experience, aren't many!)

Ok, how about routing in March, before the schedule changes?

It is entirely possible that flights post end of March, haven't yet been loaded in for that particular routing.

It will likely an IT issue, but one which should be resolved within a couple of days.

I've had this problem before. Just book it as a multi-city itinerary and it should work. Don't use Roundtrip.

Unfortunately not, I tried many dates but even you cannot even enter CAI WDH into the search engine!

The Multi City search does work, I got a decent fare of 16.6k EGP in J...

I cannot see any special fares for that latest QR Fare sale. I was hoping to join a friend coming from FRA, and he gets excellent fares FRA-WDH

Thanks everyone for their help and comments!

FRA is the sweet-spot for WDH as Lufthansa have, or at least used to have, a direct flight - so QR need to be competitive.
