Nonstop Daily Flights Between Doha & Manila Take Off in June

Get your travel plans ready — starting June 16, 2025, Philippine Airlines and Qatar Airways are teaming up to launch daily nonstop flights between Manila and Doha!

In a new strategic partnership aimed at boosting air connectivity, Philippine Airlines will operate daily services between the two capitals, with Qatar Airways codesharing on all seven weekly flights. Translation: seamless access to over 170 global destinations across the Qatar Airways network — from Africa and Europe to the Americas and the Middle East — just got easier.

Flight PR684 will leave Manila at 6:50 PM daily, touching down in Doha by 11:40 PM. Eastbound, PR685 will depart Doha at 1:30 AM and land back in Manila by 4:15 PM — designed perfectly for smooth transfers at Doha’s award-winning Hamad International Airport, recently crowned Skytrax’s Best Airport in the Middle East for 2025.

Mr. Thierry Antinori, Qatar Airways' Chief Commercial Officer, said:

“This partnership with Philippine Airlines reinforces our goal to strengthen global connectivity and deepen the socio-economic ties between Qatar and the Philippines.”

Captain Stanley K. Ng, President and COO of Philippine Airlines, added:

“This strategic alliance will not only expand access for our passengers but also support tourism, trade, and economic growth. It will particularly benefit Overseas Filipino Workers and their families.”

To sweeten the deal even more, both airlines are looking to expand their cooperation — think more destinations, shared loyalty perks, and smoother flight experiences ahead.

Travelers on these new routes will fly aboard Philippine Airlines’ Airbus A330-300 aircraft, decked out with 18 flat-bed Business Class seats and 341 comfy Economy Class spots.

Get ready — June 16 is coming fast, and with it, a whole new way to connect the Middle East and Southeast Asia!
