Flight help Urgently needed - Dubai/Doha
Need urgent advice re Airlines that fly Dubai/Doha return for my sister who is travelling from Melbourne/Dubai - has three day stopover in Dubai - then flies Dubai/Glasgow UK.She wants to fly to Doha for her three days to visit family, I am in UK and trying to book online for this three day trip for her.
She needs to be back in Dubai for her flight to UK at 07.50 - I presume she would have to get a very early morning flight back to Dubai, so if this is too early, then maybe she could get a flight evening before and stay in hotel near airport in Dubai, again can you recommend a reasonably priced one.
Any immediate help would be gratefully appreciated, as she wants to book all flights within next few days. This trip commences approx 1st May from Melbourne.
Thanks
Lena
Thanks to you all for your replies and suggestions. It was so expensive for flights Dubai/Doha, my sister has changed her itinerary, but thanks.
Flight now booked Melbourne/Singapore/Doha, she now has five days in Doha, which is much better, before flying directly back to UK for her stay here.

Don't forget there is an hours time difference with Doha and Dubai. When we fly from Dubai is an hour behind us. That is when we leave Doha to fly to Dubai the you arrive the same time that you left :-) (about a 40 min flight)
If money is an issue, you can try the local Air Arabia airlines who do very good specials, but it flys in to Abu Dhabi airport. However, have been told it's not difficult to get a taxi to Dubai, and not too far ... just got to time the traffice.
Do you have any frequent flyer points? I have found lately that the costs to fly to Dubai are so expensive, considering how close it is.
Good Luck.
Try Etihad Airways, flys from UK.
Qatar Airways and Emirates fly daily flights into and out of Dubai and Doha.
