British Airways is launching direct services from Heathrow to Doha and Muscat starting October 30.
The carrier currently offers a one-stop service to Doha via Bahrain, and to Muscat via Abu Dhabi.
The new direct services will operate daily from Heathrow T5 to Doha, and five times-weekly to Muscat. In both cases the direct flights will cut journey times by around two hours.
Flights to Doha will be served with BA’s B787-9 aircraft, which features an eight-seat First cabin. The Heathrow-Muscat route will be served with a B777.
The full timetable for the new direct services can be seen below.
