Qatar Airways business class to Adelaide (ex Zurich) for £1,086

I dropped this in as an interesting extra article as these tickets will disappear fast.

Qatar Airways has launched a £1,086 (CHF 1,312) business class fare from Zurich to Adelaide.

You have until 16th October to book but the handful of seats available won’t last long.  You must fly out between 14th October and 10th December and return by 31st January 2017.  There seems little about once you get past November though.

Availability is definitely there.  I just found the fare for 7th November out / 25th November return for example, although only 1 seat was showing.

You are getting a Boeing 787 and an Airbus A350, so you will have the latest Qatar Airways business product all the way.  I reviewed the 787 in business class here.

Remember that Qatar Airways flights can be credited to British Airways Executive Club and earn Avios and BA tier points.

The Qatar homepage is here if you want to have a dig around.  This is NOT a fare error – it is listed on their Swiss offers page here.

How to earn Avios from UK credit cards (August 2022)

As a reminder, there are various ways of earning Avios points from UK credit cards.  Many cards also have generous sign-up bonuses!

In February 2022, Barclaycard launched two exciting new Barclaycard Avios Mastercard cards with a bonus of up to 25,000 Avios. You can apply here.

You qualify for the bonus on these cards even if you have a British Airways American Express card:

There are two official British Airways American Express cards with attractive sign-up bonuses:

You can also get generous sign-up bonuses by applying for American Express cards which earn Membership Rewards points.

EDIT: Until 25th October 2022, there is an exceptionally generous sign-up bonus on The Platinum Card. You will receive 60,000 Membership Rewards points – double the usual amount – and £200 to spend at Amex Travel. You need to spend £6,000 within six months to earn the bonus.

Run your own business?

We recommend Capital On Tap for limited companies. You earn 1 Avios per £1 which is impressive for a Visa card, along with a sign-up bonus worth 10,000 Avios.

You should also consider the British Airways Accelerating Business credit card. This is open to sole traders as well as limited companies and has a 30,000 Avios sign-up bonus.

There are also generous bonuses on the two American Express Business cards, with the points converting at 1:1 into Avios. These cards are open to sole traders as well as limited companies.
