passengers will also be able to book travel to eight additional
Qatar Airways’ destinations such as Bangkok, Hong Kong,

Baker, said, “South America is a strategically important market
for Qatar Airways. We are proud to demonstrate our strong
commitment to passengers travelling to and from South America by
providing even more flexible travel options. By increasing São
