Qatar Airways isn't letting COVID-19 hold them down.

While the current pandemic has greatly reduced the demand for air travel, Qatar has remained the only Gulf carrier to continue flying to the U.S., with flights to both Chicago and Dallas-Fort Worth maintained.

Now, through their partnership with American Airlines and JetBlue, Qatar is relaunching four routes to the U.S., bringing their total to six.

U.S destinations available for booking include:

Boston - Beginning July 1

Doha (DOH) to Boston (BOS) QR743 departs at 8:00 a.m. and arrives at 2:15 p.m.

Additionally, Qatar Airways is committed to ensuring the safety of all crew and passengers on board any of their flights. Several recently implemented changes include the introduction of Personal Protective Equipment suits for cabin crew, along with changes in services that reduce the overall interactions between passengers and crew.

All passengers planning to fly with Qatar should be aware of the airline's requirement that face-coverings are worn by all. The carrier recommends travelers bring their own to ensure a good fit.
