Asian football fans planning to attend the FIFA World Cup in Qatar can now guarantee their match tickets, return flights and accommodation through Qatar Airways packages offering options such as a full refund if your team fails to qualify. Read More » The packages allow fans to book a total of seven matches by combining more than one package. If a customer’s team is defeated in the advanced tournament stages, tickets will be issued to matches featuring one of the prevailing teams from the same group or knock-out path. One catch is fans must join Qatar Airways Privilege Club to have access to the offers. Markets where the packages are available are India, Indonesia, Australia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines and Thailand. Meanwhile, Australian website, Executive Traveller, reported last Wednesday that Qatar will re-start A380 services by early November to help cope with seasonal demand, while 13 of the carrier’s A350s will remain grounded from claims of fuselage degradation. Qatar Airways Group CEO, Akbar Al Baker, told the website the airline was looking at flying five A380s as a stop gap measure, but may have to bring back its entire fleet of 10 of the type.
