In The prices of flights there is a lot of politics..my friend met a minister there in qatar for legal cooperation, and they discussed about world cup. The minister said like "we dont want Dubai to profit from the world cup and want tourists to come directly to us. We didnt work 10 years to put our country on the map, and then let Dubai get all the tourists for this event.."
Aus bs und für mich plausibel....zumindest aus jetziger Sicht, wie das 4 Wochen vorher aussieht, mal schauen
Das würde auch zur Ankündigung passen, ab Sommer Direktflüge DUS - DOHA mit Qatar anzubieten.
