Ticketing

Hello,

Here is the task:

A customer needs to travel to Manchester. He prefers to fly with either Qatar Airways or the Emirates. He is looking for the best offer in terms of air fare (price of ticket) and convenience of connecting flight (if he decides to travel with the Emirates via Dubai).

The passenger is travelling alone and would like to travel around the 26-27 July and return back around the 16-17 August.

Check the availability of flights to Manchester, check the prices of flights (often flying at the weekend is more expensive than during the week).

Use the reservation systems of the airlines:

Post your suggestions and the possible itinerary ( the plan of the journey)of the flight.

Regards,
RV

  1. For the passenger travelling alone from Doha to Manchester is looking for the best air fare and the convenience of connecting flight. He has a choice between Qatar Airways and Emirates Airways. Qatar Airways has a direct flight to Manchester at QR 3770 including tax. The flight takes between 7hrs and 7hrs and a half. Emirates offer a cheaper fare at 3180 including tax. Here the passenger has to travel via Dubai which means he has to take a connection flight. All in all, I recommend that the passenger flies with Emirates as he is able to save around QR 500 despite the little inconvenience of the connection flight. The waiting time in the airport is not that long, so it is worth taking to save some money.
