U.S. It takes about 12-14 hours from DC (depending upon if you are coming or going) and often the run goes through Dallas. Flights are often and planes are usually full, though we are more likely to fly during vacation time etc. to the states. - Oct 2023
Florida. When we first arrived, Qatar Air had broken their code share with AA so the direct flight from DC was no longer applicable. You had to take either United/Lufthansa via Frankfurt or AA/BA via London, then still connect with Qatar Air. Both options made one eligible for a rest stop, so instead of taking at 14-hour direct flight from DC, the travel time was over 20 hours and cost thousands of dollars more (hotel, per diem, baggage charges - QA charges per kilo out of the EU). Our cat took the direct flight from DC a day after we left and still arrived a few hours before we did. The good news is QA/AA are playing nice now so you can take the direct flight. - Jul 2022
