- QR0812 to Tokyo Fri 12 Apr 2019 06:45
- QR0813 to Doha Fri 19 Apr 2019 00:01
- QR0199 to Budapest Fri 19 Apr 2019 08:20
The Qatar flights come to £1770 approx - including as I understand it Q-Suites on the A350 from Doha.
A BA flight is about £500 from London. Can use Avios to get up to £100 back.
The total TP would be 640TP - 580 from the BUD to HND part.
Hotels for 7 days - and I would like to stay that long as I have never been are looking at around £1300 for a 4-star.
Total cost roughly £3600.
Is this a good price? Is this a good run? Can I make the connections?
I would love some advice from those who know! Thanks.
unless all on one ticket a same day connection looks brave ... if BA is late, or say that BA flight gets cancelled you’ll have a risk QR will say thanks for the money but you missed your flight.,maybe stay overnight in Budapest instead.
im sure others will be along to tell you do a super complex itinerary, but travel should be a means to get there, and see something different. Japan is not cheap so keep that in mind, and a lot of the interesting cultural heritage stuff is outside Tokyo.
