They have decided to reduce air fares to make it easier for fans from home and abroad to come and watch the World Cup. The number of flights in their fleet is also increasing.
Visitors to the World Cup will be able to travel to Doha, the capital of Qatar, for less than one month of the World Cup. From November 20, the fare from Dubai to Doha will be a little more than 1800 dirhams, which is currently around 2200 dirhams.

Meanwhile, Air Arabia is increasing the number of flights during the World Cup as the last airline in its golf career. The low-cost Arabian Airlines will operate 14 shuttle flights daily from Sharjah to Doha during the World Cup.
Etihad Airways is also increasing the number of flights on the occasion of the World Cup. The number of their weekly flights is increasing almost two and a half times.

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) also plans to arrange flights outside the Gulf for the World Cup. They will operate connecting flights from Karachi and Lahore to Dohar from July.
but it is known that these shuttle flights will not have a baggage carrier. So you have to carry your essentials in your handbag. These bags can carry a maximum of 6 kg in economy class and a maximum of 14 kg in business class.
These flights have to meet certain conditions to go to Doha. The first is a FIFA World Cup match ticket, which will also serve as a visa. The flight will reach Doha four hours before the start of the match. The return flight will be four hours after the end of the match.
