What you're owed

Leaving Heathrow

£520each under UK law

Leaving Doha Hamad

Not covered on Qatar Airways: Doha Hamad is outside the UK and EU, and Qatar Airways is not a UK or EU airline.

Heathrow to Doha Hamad is 5,241 km, which fixes the figure: £520 each leaving Heathrow, but nothing coming back, because Qatar Airways is not a UK or EU airline. It is per person, so four of you is £2,080.

How Qatar Airways does on this route

Better or worse than the route itself?

Everyone flying Heathrow to Doha Hamad hits the same airspace and the same two airports, so the honest question is not whether the route is busy, it is whether this airline handles it better or worse than the others on it.

Qatar Airways flies 87% of this route, so the right-hand column is mostly its own flights being averaged back at it. The comparison that means something here is against the rest of its network.

Against its own network it is about the same as usual: Qatar Airways lands on time 72.9% of the time across all 10,009 of its UK flights a year, against 73.8% here.

In money terms: about 21 flights a year on this route land 3 hours or more late, which is about 1 flight in 250. Everyone on board one of those is owed at least £260 each, so a full aircraft is a five-figure bill for Qatar Airways.
