Prices revealed as flydubai opens bookings for FIFA fans

FIFA World Cup fans can now book their seats on FlyDubai's Match Day Shuttle flights between Dubai and Doha.

The budget carrier said return economy seats will be priced at AED 948 (USD 258) while business class tickets will be AED 3,665 (USD 998).

The fares will include a hand baggage allowance, a snack on board and complimentary transportation between the airport and the stadiums. 

These flights will be reserved exclusively for FIFA World Cup ticket-holders, as per a recent partnership with Qatar Airways.

The carrier will offer up to 30 daily return flights between Dubai World Central (DWC) and Doha from November 21 to December 18.

Football fans are advised to select a flight that arrives in Doha at least four hours before the match kick-off time.

In addition, passengers must also register for their Hayya card (Fan ID) ahead of their flight as this will be required for travel on all Match Day Shuttle flights and for entry to Qatar.

These flights will be operated by the airline’s fleet of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft that must be booked as a separate itinerary and not as part of a connecting itinerary. 

For passengers who do not hold match day tickets, flydubai’s scheduled flights between Dubai International (DXB) and Hamad International Airport (DOH) will continue to operate during this period.
