This information is correct as of June 2016

Airlines that fly from Doha to London

British Airways and Qatar Airways both fly from Doha's Hamad International Airport to London-Heathrow. There are currently no flights to any of London's other airports.

Terminal Information – Departing

This is only a guideline. Always check your boarding pass for up-to-date terminal information.

Flights to London usually depart from concourse B. If there are any changes you should be informed when you check in, either online or at the airport desk. Hamad International Airport has a massive range of shops and restaurants. Other amenities include a fitness centre with a 25m pool: perfect for fitting in a pre-flight work-out. It'll make you feel better about vegging out with a few in-flight movies for the next seven and a half hours. All passengers can access the Oryx Lounge (for a fee) while those travelling first or business class with Qatar Airways can pop into the Al Mourjan Business Lounge.

Terminal Information – Arriving

British Airways flights usually land at terminal 5 while Qatar Airways usually touch down at terminal 4. Both terminals are linked to London by the underground's Piccadilly Line: this is the cheapest way to reach central London. The fastest way is using the Heathrow Express, which stops at terminal 5 and also at the station for terminals 2&3. If you're landing at terminal 4 and want to take the express train, you'll need to hop on the tube over to terminals 2&3 first. Taxis are also available from outside the terminal, as are coaches. Another option is to hire a car at Heathrow Airport: remember that traffic drives on the left-hand side of the road in Britain.

Practical Information

You need a valid passport to fly from Doha to the United Kingdom. Qatar residents travelling to London for tourism and some business reasons will need to apply for an EVW (Electronic Visa Waiver) or a Standard Visitor Visa before flying. Try to arrive at the airport about three hours before flight departure.

What to expect in London

London is two hours behind London and the climate is a lot milder. You can expect an average temperature of 19°C during the summer and 7°C during the winter. Make sure you have something warm to wear when you get off the 'plane, as it's bound to be a big drop if you're used to Doha's hot desert climate. London is generally more expensive than London, apart from one thing: alcohol! London has plenty of places where you can imbibe, but our pick of its top ten bars and pubs should get you off to a good start.
