Qatar Airways is adding a third daily flight from Doha to New York.

The flight was originally flown by American Airlines until it transferred the service from Doha to Philadelphia instead of Doha to New York.

The new flight will commence on October 30 of this year. It will be serviced out of John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York.

There is a seven-hour time difference between Doha and New York City. One of the flight offerings allows you to leave and arrive on the same day. The flight will utilize a Boeing 777-300ER.

It is likely that Qatar will still keep its service between Doha and Philadelphia. Although the two airports are relatively close in proximity on the east coast of the United States, New York is more of a destination or final stop from Doha, whereas Philadelphia is more of a connection city.

With the addition of the third flight, the Doha to New York route is now the most highly serviced route by any Gulf airline.

Gulf airlines are known for their extraordinary hospitality. Etihad Airlines, for example, features 10 Airbus 380 planes in its fleet that boast The Apartment, which is ultra-exclusive and is basically a flying hotel room. First and business-class passengers on Qatar can order meals whenever they want and not have to adhere to a schedule.

Qatar Airways also has luxurious amenity kits for its passengers.
