Qatar Airways flights from Birmingham – QR34 or QR36?

Qatar Airways is offering daily flights from Birmingham, but the trick is picking the right day to depart. There are technically two flights from Birmingham to Doha – the QR34 and QR36. They just leave on different days.

At the time of writing, the QR34 from Birmingham to Doha departs on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 13.35. However, this connects horrendously with the Doha to Sydney flights, leading to a total journey time of 43 hours and 10 minutes.

If you don’t want to spend nearly a day hanging around in Doha Airport, opt for the QR36.

The QR36 departs from Birmingham at 07.20 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. There’s a much more palatable transit time in Doha of three hours and 35 minutes.

All Birmingham to Sydney flight timetable information is correct at the time of writing, but subject to change in the future.
