Qatar Airways has announced the launch of a new daily all-first-class service from its hub in Doha to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to coincide with the start of Ramadan.
With the additional daily flight starting from today, services to Jeddah will increase from double-daily to triple-daily flights.
“The demand for premium group travel continues to grow, especially during the Ramadan season, and therefore we have introduced this all-premium A319 to Jeddah, further strengthening Qatar Airways’ position as a five-star airline providing the best first and business class service in the industry,” said Akbar al-Baker, Qatar Airways Group chief executive.
The Airbus A319, which is fitted with an all-premium-class, single-aisle, 2-2 seating configuration with 40 seats, will enable passengers to experience the comfort of a private jet complemented by Qatar Airways’ hospitality, according to a statement.
Qatar Airways’ A319 first-class seats, which recline into fully-flat beds, have one of the highest specifications for premium travel of any airline, the statement notes. The in-flight entertainment system, Oryx One, features the same options that are available on Qatar Airways, with up to 2,000 choices of movies, music and games. Personal entertainment can be enjoyed with the latest-generation systems and noise-cancelling headphones.
Combined with the on-board service, Qatar Airways passengers on the A319 all-first class flight will also experience the Al Mourjan Business Lounge at Doha’s Hamad International Airport.
The all-first-class daily flight schedule between Doha and Jeddah is as follows: QR3002 departing Doha at 9am and arriving in Jeddah at 11.20am, and QR3003 departing Jeddah at 12.20pm and arriving in Doha at 2.40pm.
