What you actually keep

Qatar Airways’s accommodation policy — free shared accommodation in doha + airport transport— changes the real comparison against an airline that pays a housing allowance you have to spend on rent, or one that provides nothing at all. Compare packages on what’s actually left over each month, not just the headline number.
