Qatar Airways Flies Into Los Angeles
How can you not associate (Rudyard) Kipling’s famous line, “East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet“ with Qatar Airways? The East/West twain, or two, have met for a while now, and its most recent blend is Qatar’s newest route from Doha, Qatar to Los Angeles, California.
This new air bridge began January 1st of this year; later, Qatar will also bring non-stop flights from Doha to Boston in March, and to Atlanta in July.

The GCEO of Qatar Airways, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, recently commented about the LA route, saying, “Los Angeles and Doha have much in common, as both are passionate homes for sport, fashion, art and world-class entertainment. This new service forms a bridge spanning continents and cultures, which will further strengthen our cultural and commercial bonds.”
The Los Angeles launch comes as Qatar Airways continues to expand operations in the United States and around the world. In addition to new launches, the airline is enhancing existing services along its other successful US routes.
Last month they brought the state-of-the-art Airbus A350, considered to be the airliner of the next decade, to American shores for the first time. On January 1st, the airline began a regularly scheduled daily A350 service to Philadelphia, and will also begin a A350 service along a second route between New York and Doha in April.

These enhancements, as well as the larger space in all its cabins, make longer, international flights more entertaining, educational and comfortable, thus making time fly as well.
