5 Reasons to Choose Qatar Airways and Abbey Travel For Your Holiday To Australia
Whether you are catching up with friends or planning a trip of a lifetime, your holiday to Australia is made easy with Abbey Travel and Qatar Airways.
Australia ranks among the world’s top destinations for unforgettable experiences. From its iconic cities and pristine beaches, to its Red Centre and lush rainforests, this diverse country is packed with must-see attractions. However, with so many sights to see, planning the perfect trip Down Under can be a challenge! Thankfully, I’ve teamed up with the perfect partners, Qatar Airways, and Abbey Travel, to show you five reasons why you should choose them to book your dream holiday to Australia.
1. Qatar Airways is the World’s Best Airline
If you have been following me for a while you will probably have heard me rave about flying with Qatar Airways, but you don’t need to take my word for it – Qatar Airways has won the World’s Best Airline award for an unprecedented ninth time at the 2025 World Airline Awards.
I was really impressed with Qatar Airways’ economy class service recently. There are over 8,500 in-flight entertainment options, unlimited drinks, kids packs to keep little ones entertained, and incredibly fast Starlink WiFi on selected aircrafts – this was the best WiFi I’ve experienced in the sky. It was also nice to get an amenity kit, and have comfortable headphones – a first for me in economy class!
And as for Business Class – it is the best in the world. The service on board and dine on demand offering is superb. Qatar Airways Q-Suites are similar to First Class Suites on other airlines, I’ve sampled single seats and the family Quad set-up, and both were top class. You can read my review of Qatar Airways service here, and Abbey Travel will advise you on the best aircrafts to choose to maximise your experience.
Top Tip: You can also collect Avios when you fly with Qatar Airways – simply join the Privilege Club before you fly.

3. Qatar Airways Connect to 35 Destinations in Australia
Qatar Airways fly to over 170 destinations worldwide, including five direct destinations in Australia: Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney. There are double-daily flights from Dublin to Doha that connect seamlessly to these Australian cities, and through its partnership with Virgin Australia, travellers can then connect to an additional 35 destinations within Australia.
So whether you want to visit the bustling cities of Sydney and Melbourne, the pristine beaches of the Whitsundays, the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef, or the dramatic landscapes of the Red Centre, Abbey Travel and Qatar Airways can take you there.
4. Qatar Airways Offer Free Stopovers in Doha
Doha is one of my favourite stop-over destinations when travelling East. Hamad International Airport, has been voted the ‘Best Airport in the Middle East’ for 11 consecutive years, but Doha offers much more than a world class airport.
Qatar is of one of the richest countries in the world, so it is no surprise that its capital is home to a futuristic skyline and architectural masterpieces. Qatari’s are proud of their heritage and like to show it off. Doha’s spectacular National Museum, Cultural Village and traditional souqs are just as show-stopping as its Mykonos-inspired beach clubs, mind-blowing shopping malls and tree-lined promenades.
It may also surprise you to learn that Doha excels in adventure activities too. From swimming with whale sharks to dune bashing in the Arabian desert, there are many things to do in Doha for for families and thrillseekers.
