Valentine’s Day Massacre (by Qatar, of its Fares)

Some links to products and partners on this website will earn an affiliate commission.

It’s not unusual for Qatar Airways to be offering stupidly good value Business Class fares, but that doesn’t stop us flagging them when they arrive – not least when they are bordering on being Business Class fares at Economy Class prices.

Plus this one gave me the unmissable opportunity to run this truly dreadful headline.

So what’s on offer this time?

As is often the case with the Qatar deals, this is a “companion offer”, which means to get the bargain basement prices, you need to buy two return tickets. Try and make this work for you if you can, because there is some serious value out there.

But I don’t live in Scandinavia!

Noted. Reposition yourself, and make a weekend of it if you can.

If you do want to travel from the UK, prices are available here. They are not bad, but they’re far from the absolute bargains being offered out of Europe. For the best value ex-UK Business Class prices, I generally start with Finnair.

The offer applies to bookings made up to 14 February 15, 2017, for travel until 14 December, 2017. They are obviously subject to availability, so if you want the very best fares, you will have to move fast.
