The Emirates quote is from Doha, via Dubai. price includes return flight from Doha.

So Qatar Airways wants $1300 Canadian for a 6 1/2 hr direct flight.

Calgary Canada to Thailand, which has 2 connections and is a 24 hour flight is only $1600. $300 more.

I don't get how Qatar Airways can justify $1300 Canadian for a 6 1/2 hr flight???

Am I paying for the new airport that I hopefully won't be around to use?
