Qatar Airways Exciting New Summer 2025 Schedule
Qatar Airways Exciting New Summer 2025 Schedule With Flights, Upgrades, and Goodbyes
Qatar Airways is back at it—rearranging its summer schedule like a DJ remixing a classic hit. Whether it’s adding flights, swapping aircraft, or quietly ghosting some routes, the airline is making sure that Summer 2025 (March 30 – October 25) will keep travellers guessing. If you love last-minute surprises, this one’s for you!
More Flights, More Choices, and More Double-Deckers
Let’s start with the good news—Qatar Airways is going all in on several popular destinations. If you love options (and who doesn’t?), here’s what’s in store:
- Bangkok is getting an upgrade, with flights increasing from 35 to 38 per week from June through September. And for those who appreciate a grand entrance, 10 of those flights will be on the legendary Airbus A380—a flying palace in the sky.
- Nice is getting, well, nicer! Instead of four flights per week, Qatar Airways is boosting its service to daily flights to the French Riviera. Because nothing says summer like sipping rosé on the Côte d’Azur.
- Phuket keeps its 14 weekly flights, dodging a planned reduction. Seems like someone at HQ really wanted their beach holiday secured.
- London Gatwick flyers, rejoice! From July 16, both daily flights will be on the swanky Boeing 787-9, offering a smoother, more comfortable ride.
And that’s not all—Frankfurt, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City are also getting a flight frequency boost, proving once again that Qatar Airways refuses to sit still.
Plane Swaps: Bigger, Smaller, or Just Different?
Qatar Airways loves to mix things up, and this season is no exception. Some routes are getting upgraded aircraft, while others are seeing a little downsizing. Here are the highlights:
- Algiers moves up in the world with the larger Airbus A330-300. More seats, more legroom, and a better chance of scoring an empty row.
- Zurich travellers might get a treat with the A350-1000 making occasional appearances, because Swiss precision deserves Qatari luxury.
- Denpasar (Bali) will experience a game of aircraft musical chairs, starting with a 787-8 before upgrading to a 777-300ER in June. Perfect for stretching out after a yoga retreat.
- Isfahan returns to the map with twice-weekly flights from August 1, operated by the Airbus A320. It’s not the biggest, but hey, it gets you there!
Now for the Not-So-Great News…
Not all routes are winners this time around. Some destinations are getting trimmed down, and others are disappearing altogether. Here’s what’s on the chopping block:
- Belgrade, Copenhagen, Geneva, and Osaka are seeing frequency reductions, so travellers in these cities might want to lock in their seats early.
- Paris and Rome are getting slight downgrades, possibly to make space for all those extra Bangkok flights. Priorities, people.
And the biggest disappointment?
- No extra flights for New York or Los Angeles. If you were hoping for an extra daily flight to JFK or that much-hyped increase to 14 weekly flights to LAX, sorry—Qatar Airways just isn’t feeling it this year.
- Lyon and Mersin? Gone. The airline has officially pulled the plug on these routes. Blink and you missed them.
What’s the Verdict? Qatar Airways Keeps Travelers on Their Toes
If you’ve booked a Qatar Airways flight for summer 2025, you might want to double-check your itinerary. You could be flying on a bigger plane, a smaller plane, or—if luck isn’t on your side—no plane at all.
One thing’s for sure: Qatar Airways knows how to keep things interesting. Whether it’s adding flights, upgrading aircraft, or saying goodbye to select routes, the airline is making sure there’s never a dull moment in the skies!
