Qatar Airways will resume daily flights to Sydney and Melbourne starting December 1. The airline has continued flying to Australia throughout the pandemic and said it would continue to offer three flights a week to Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane. Qatar's website indicates it will be operating its Sydney-Doha service using a Boeing 777-300ER while the Melbourne service will be operated by an Airbus A350-900. READ: US confirms new COVID-19 travel rules. The airline has continued to rebuild its network in the wake of the COVID pandemic and serves more than 140 destinations from its Doha hub. Its website is currently advertising return economy fares to Europe from Sydney for around $1500 and business class fares in the $8500-$9500 range, depending on destination. As always, however, when and if those fares are available is dependent on a number of factors that include the time of year and demand. AirlineRatings judged Qatar the world's best airline for 2021 for its commitment to keeping the world's air routes open during COVID-19, innovation, new products and world-renowned in-flight service. It also won the award for best catering and best business class based on its spacious, well-designed business class "Qsuite" as well its high-quality food and wine offerings.
