Qatar Stopover on Qatar Airways
I’m all about making the most of a trip and seeing as many new places as possible, so I was super excited to hear about the Qatar Airways stopover package! From now through the end of 2024 (and hopefully, the program will be extended) you can add a one to four-day stopover in Doha on any Qatar Airways flight.
