With packages for key group stage games and the final phases selling fast, Qatar Airways Holidays travel packages will be available for purchase on a first-come, first-served basis. To facilitate even more options for the event, Qatar Airways has recently boosted capacity to Russia and now offers direct daily flights to St Petersburg as well as three services a day to the Russian capital, Moscow.

Qatar Airways Senior Vice-President Marketing and Corporate Communications, Salam Al Shawa, said: “As the Official Airline of FIFA, Qatar Airways is delighted to offer travel packages for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia to football enthusiasts around the world. We believe that sport brings people together, and we want to provide our passengers with the ultimate FIFA World Cup experience from the moment they start their journey with us”.

“It is also exciting to announce these packages following the launch of our new direct flights to St Petersburg, Russia, which began earlier this month. We now aim to connect more people to Russia through our expanding global network via our state-of-the-art Hamad International Airport,” she added.

Qatar Airways recently launched flights to Russia’s cultural capital, St. Petersburg, on 19 December 2017, doubling the number of Russian routes operated by the five-star carrier. Qatar Airways now operates its daily St Petersburg service with an Airbus A320 aircraft, which features 12 flatbed seats in Business Class and 120 seats in Economy Class.
