Qatar/LH

Amritsar departs at 0700 from Doha and arrives back 15.40 so to connect it would have to be an evening departure from BHX and I can't believe it if they don't link the two at least three to four times a week out of the seven.

I think some patience might be required as Helsinki hit the press in November and even the QR website by November and I still can't find any flights bookable.

I know aircraft availability has been a major problem for Qatar though, which combined with the falling EK figures has made this a surprise.

I can't comment on the EK 380 but certainly they reacted to Qatar going double daily at Manchester by announcing the third daily and hence all the problems since with empty seats at Manchester and BHX.

However things have improved at Manchester and even EK managed to get load factors above 70% in June (low season) at BHX.

Lufthansa

Winter Frankfurt now loaded as 06.10 departure as a LH 733 back at 22.15

In between a 733 early morning, 319 midday and a 735 in the evening but I realise that this could change.
