CWL and Visit Wales are currently in New Zealand promoting Wales with QR's flights from Auckland!
QR are also offering 15% off flights from CWL using code CARDIFF2018, if booked before 5th April
Both good news, they do want to turn Doha into a destination on it's own right. Good as well that the tensions between the various states are coming to an end and especially Dubai could open up as well, also the tensions in Korea seem to be lessening with talks scheduled for April so that might help as well.Bit of commotion on the flybe thread this evening, but I have 2 points to share about Qatar Airways today.
1. Qatar Airways have extended their "+ Qatar" programme for the third or fourth time recently. Basically allows a free nights hotel stay in Qatar paid for by the airline/Qatar government to encourage tourism. I'll hopefully be taking advantage of this in May.
2. There are talks ongoing to end the Saudi led Qatar boycott and allow movement of civilians between the countries involved, this could/should open up the Doha-Dubai link again. Definitely a destination that will get bums on seats out of Cardiff. I've been a few times now and other family members have been multiple times, when I've gone its always been BA/EK from LHR.

Slightly strange that, hopefully they'll have something planned when the team gets back from New Zealand.Still no widespread advertising around the West Country. There might still be adverts on one or two local commercial radio stations - I don't listen so don't know - but I expected a bigger general push by now: advertising hoardings and on buses for example.

Fill the business cabin and cargo and i guess that's half the battle won.Just an observation, but It seems to me most of CWL's advertising is aimed at Business travellers rather than Economy ones. Understandable as filling the premium cabin is of course important and will be the key to making the route successful.
Obvious chance for 'networking' with West Country business especially with Qatar in mind. Do we know who represented CWL at the event? Spencer Birns?CWL are in Bristol tonight sponsoring fastgrowth50 function at Ashton Gate alongside Qatar Airways
I would've thought that it would be someone from Marketing rather than Route Development.Obvious chance for 'networking' with West Country business especially with Qatar in mind. Do we know who represented CWL at the event? Spencer Birns?
Fair play to them as they say around here, but Devon and Cornwall seems a little remote from CWL. Putting more effort into the West Country might pay greater dividends.Cardiff Airport was at the Newell Travel show yesterday in the South West promoting the airport and the Qatar Airways route. Newell Travel are a Cornish based firm i believe.
