Qatar Airways has launched a business class flash sale today, flying from Oslo. Often Qatar Airways has great fares from Scandinavia, which we think provides great value for money. How much should you pay for a business class seat? Read our blog here to find out.
To take advantage of the offer, you need to book a positioning flight from the UK to Oslo. We have done this journey multiple times and find Oslo as an easy location to get to and avaialbilty on reward flights is often very good. As a 5* airline, travelling on Qatar Airways business class is a great experience. It was recently voted the best business class by SKYTRAX.

Given it’s nearly the end of the year and there’s only 10 weeks left, you’ll have to be flexible with your travel dates to get the deals. You also need to factor in a positioning flight to Oslo.
British Airways is also running a luxury sale at the moment ending the 29 October 2019. We found a great deal to Durban, South Africa for £1,590 including a hotel, so it’s always good to compare if you had a specific country in mind. Visit our blog post for more details.

BG1 tips
If you’re flexible about your travel dates and want to travel to the countries listed in the sale, we think this is a great offer. For a 5* airline, flying from Oslo to Bangkok represent £51 per flying hour, which represents great value.
The route from Doha to Bangkok has the QSuites. If you still haven’t experienced the QSuites yet, read our blog to find out what it’s like here. It could whet your appetite to book!
However, if you’re not desperate to fly, don’t worry about rushing to book as we predict there will a sale again after thanksgiving in the “Black Friday” sale, or post-Christmas during the “Boxing Day” sales.
This is also a great Tier Points run. Completing the journey from London to Oslo to Doha to Bangkok and back, will gain you up to 640 tier points. If you travel on British Airways for your positioning flights, you’ll only need two more flights to get to Silver. A very quick way to get status. Is British Airways Executive Club silver worth it?
