Qatar to launch three times weekly flights to Toronto

Announced yesterday, Qatar Airways will be starting 3x weekly flights between Toronto and Doha. As a travel geek who’s into points and miles, this opens up lots of opportunity for those of us residing in the Toronto region. 

The Flight

QR 768 will be operating between Toronto and Doha on Saturdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. The inbound flight, QR 767, departs Doha at 8:30 AM and arrives in Toronto at 3 PM and is blocked at 13h 30m.

Inbound flight to Toronto

The outbound flight from Toronto will depart at 8:50PM and arrive at 4:15PM the following day, blocked at 12h 25m. 

The outbound flight from Toronto leaves at 8:50pm

At this time, the route will be operated by an A350-900 that is not outfitted with Qsuites, as per the Qatar booking engine.  This is still a good product, think of AC Dreamliner hard product with much better service. (OMAAT review here)

The Q symbol dictates Q Suites which are available if connecting through the US

As of posting, Qatar has only loaded July into the schedule. For those dates loaded into the scheduled, they have loaded 9+ business class awards seats.

Lots of award seats available right now

As Qatar updates their schedule to include bookings through to 2021 I will update this article with the best way to book these flights using points.
