For those of you with experience of Qatar Airways, I wonder if you think this is a good itinerary or if I am missing something. Flying MEL-SIN-DOH-LHR/CDG in early May. As a very rare treat, the flights on QR are in C.
The MEL-SIN-MEL legs would be SQ in Y on a separate ticket, so require claiming baggage and rechecking in SIN. The outward transit could be a pain, depending on when QR opens its desks in SIN... stuck in landside departure hall for hours? A different hassle on the return leg as although SQ has early baggage checkin (I believe), my luggage allowance shrinks by 10kg for the final leg
. At least early checkin should permit me to spend rest of the afternoon sightseeing in SIN.
Code:
MEL-SIN x SIN-DOH x DOH-LHR
1550-2140 0320-0600 0750-1315
B744 A332 A346
SQ(Y) QR(C) QR(C)
**or**
SIN-DOH x DOH-CDG
0710-0950 1235-1840
A332 A346
CDG-DOH x DOH-SIN x SIN-MEL
1515-2250 0100-1340 2335-0855
A332* A332 B772
QR(C) QR(C) SQ(Y)
* on TuWeSu EQ CDG-DOH - what aircraft typically deployed on these days?
- unfortunately the 2215 flight CDG-DOH on the A346 requires an 18hr daytime layover in DOH before flights to SIN, so not attractive
Opinions and wisdom appreciated
