Kuwait Airways to operate 13 daily flights for FIFA World Cup

Kuwait Airways CEO Maen Razouqi said that the carrier’s holidays offices and the call centre would offer packages – that would include flights and tickets to the World Cup matches, starting from KD 200 (USD 649).

After booking the tickets and flights, passengers should enter these details into the Qatari Hayya application to enable them to attend matches, he added. Qatar would be handling the transportation of fans to and from the venues free of cost and through the Hayya app.

The FIFA World Cup organising committee has specified regulations concerning luggage, therefore travellers are advised to bring only carry-on baggage during their trip, the CEO added. Economy class travellers are allowed to carry luggage not exceeding 7kg, while business and first-class passengers are allowed to carry bags not exceeding 10kg and 15kg, respectively. Those who have extended stay in Qatar are allowed to bring a suitable amount of luggage and could book their tickets according to the regular flights between Kuwait and Doha, Razouqi said.
