KUWAIT CITY, Kuwait – Qatar Airways is partnering with the Embassy of the United States in Kuwait to celebrate Discover America Week 2016. Through 3 November 2016, Qatar Airways will offer travellers from Kuwait 20 per cent off all-inclusive return fares to the USA with a complimentary third piece of luggage and double bonus Q-miles. Travellers can choose from any one of Qatar Airways’ eight daily departures from Kuwait to 10 of the most popular destinations in the USA: Atlanta; Boston; Chicago; Dallas; Houston; Los Angeles; Miami; New York; Philadelphia; and Washington DC.

 

The recent Travel and Tourism Seminar held at the Sheraton Hotel Kuwait provided travellers with inspiration for places to visit and explore in the United States. The event was officially opened by the American Ambassador to Kuwait, His Excellency Lawrence R. Silverman and Qatar Airways Country Manager, Mr. Fadi Hijazin. More than 60 media, corporate and trade professionals attended the event.

 

Qatar Airways Senior Vice President of Commercial Middle East, Africa and Pakistan, Mr. Ehab Amin said: “With eight departure times a day from Kuwait City to 10 destinations in the United States, Qatar Airways enables residents in Kuwait to connect to some of the most vibrant cities in the world. Discover America Week is the ideal platform for us to demonstrate our network and the diversity of places we can take travellers to within the United States.”

 

American Ambassador to Kuwait, H.E. Lawrence R. Silverman, said: “The number of travellers from Kuwait visiting the United States for tourism, business, and education has been on the rise in recent years and we expect this trend to continue. We are pleased to have Qatar Airways as a partner in Discover America Week."

 

Qatar Airways offers travellers from Kuwait a best-in-class experience on board their flights to and from the United States. Flying the most technologically advanced aircraft in its 191-count fleet, Qatar Airways offers passengers the exclusive privilege of regularly scheduled service on board the Airbus A350 to Philadelphia, Boston and New York – the only airline that offers the A350 to all three cities and the first airline to fly the A350, for which it was the global launch customer, to three continents.

 

In addition to the A350, Qatar Airways flies the Boeing 777, made in the USA, to Atlanta; Chicago; Dallas; Houston; Los Angeles; Miami; New York; and Washington DC. The 777 is the backbone of Qatar Airways’ fleet, featuring the award-winning Business Class experience and a best-in-class Economy Class experience, featuring the most entertainment options in the skies, with up to 3,000 choices available on Oryx One, the inflight entertainment system launched last year.
