Best Time to Book Flights from Qatar

The best time to book air tickets for international flights from Qatar is generally 2 to 8 months before departure. For the best balance of price and choice, flight booking 2 to 3 months ahead works well for most travellers. If you're travelling during Eid, Ramadan, or December, it's worth booking earlier, around 5 to 7 months in advance, since these are busy travel periods. Booking your flight before these busy periods can help you find better fares and more seat choices.

Qatar-South Asia Routes

January to March is a quieter period on most South Asia routes, with lower fares and more seats available. South India routes see higher travel demand twice a year: from late May to July during the summer school holidays, and in August or September around Onam. If you're flying during either period, try to book your air ticket six to eight weeks ahead.

Kathmandu sees more travellers in October and November because of the trekking season and due to Dashain and Tihar. Booking around two months in advance is a good idea for this period.

North India routes get busier around Diwali. Routes to Kolkata, Bhubaneswar, Ranchi, and Bagdogra in East India are busiest during Durga Puja and in December due to Christmas celebrations.

Qatar-South East Asia Routes

Bangkok and Phuket generally see higher travel demand from Qatar during December and January, when many people travel for winter holidays, and again from late May to July, during the summer break. If you plan to travel outside these peak periods, flight booking four to six weeks in advance is usually a reasonable approach.

NeuPass Benefit

Every eligible air ticket you buy from Qatar earns NeuCoins through NeuPass, at one NeuCoin per Indian Rupee. You can redeem these coins across IHCL hotels, BigBasket, Westside, Qmin, and 1mg. The programme is open to international passengers and Non-Resident Indians. However, NeuCoins are not credited automatically. You need to book your flight directly with Air India Express, and your profile must meet certain conditions for the coins to be credited.

  • Direct Booking Channels Only: 

    NeuCoins are issued only for flights booked through the official Air India Express website or the Tata Neu mobile app.
  • Third-Party Exclusion: 

    Flight bookings through travel agents, corporate desks, or online travel agencies earn zero NeuCoins.
  • Travelling Member Rule: 

    NeuCoins are credited to the passenger flying, not to whoever purchased the ticket, provided that passenger is a registered NeuPass member.
  • Profile Verification: 

    The name on the flight ticket must match the registered Tata Neu or Air India Express loyalty profile precisely.
  • Non-Revenue Bookings: 

    Flights purchased through full or partial points redemption do not earn new NeuCoins.
