Paying for Qatar Airways in instalments
A Qatar Airways ticket to North America or Europe is a large amount, so most customers pick a 6 or 12 month plan with Tabby or their bank card. Tamara is another option. We quote first, then send the link. See our air ticket instalment guide for how the plans compare.
If a Qatar Airways return from Dubai to Manila via Doha costs AED 3,000, a 6 month plan comes to about AED 500 per month, and a 12 month plan to about AED 250 per month, plus any plan fee shown in the link.
