The FIFA World Cup in Qatar next year is going to be remarkable in so many ways and now the official MATCH Hospitality ‘early bird’ flights programme exclusively guarantees seats on Qatar Airways, granting priority access to first choice of flights.
The innovative arrangements with Skytrax Airline of the Year 2021, Qatar Airways, provide MATCH Hospitality customers unparalleled and priority access to flight seats throughout the period of the World Cup, from across the world to Qatar – months ahead of anyone else. This programme gives MATCH Hospitality customers the best opportunity to plan their travel arrangements in advance with confidence.

Additionally, in the event that customers need to alter their itineraries, MATCH Hospitality can offer unmatched flexibility. Changes to bookings can be accepted until just a few weeks before departure and at no additional charge.
So now, MATCH Hospitality clients can exclusively curate their tailored travel, accommodation and guaranteed ticket-inclusive hospitality packages for the FIFA World Cup all in one place.

We are naturally delighted to announce this very special collaboration with Qatar Airways. Our early bird programme provides priority and exclusive access to customers of MATCH Hospitality, and in doing so, we are making commercial aviation history through our partnership with Qatar Airways. Being able to offer these packages 15 months before the event is a great opportunity for MATCH Hospitality customers to book their place in Qatar now, before flights are made available to the general public through conventional sales platforms.”
