Qatar Airways offering 10% discount on one-way rescue flights

If you have any friends or relatives in the UK who are looking to fly home as soon as possible, Qatar Airways is offering a 10% discount off base fares for one-way flights.

The offer runs until 28th April, which is the last day to both book and fly.

The 10% discount requires you to add the promo code ‘TRAVELHOME’ at the time of booking.

It is valid on one-way flights in Economy or Business Class, departing from London, Edinburgh and Manchester.

Full details are on this special ‘We Will Get You Home’ page of the Qatar Airways website.

The list of Qatar Airways routes which are currently operating is on this page of their website.  As of yesterday afternoon it was still serving 22 cities outside Europe, and a further 21 cities inside Europe for anyone travelling back from Asia, North America or Africa.

Remember that Qatar Airways flights earn Avios and British Airways Executive Club tier points, so remember to sign your friend up for a British Airways Executive Club account before they travel.
