Doha layover-free months: is it true QR rosters have many turnarounds?
-
#1 Heard from a friend that Qatar rosters can have months with mostly Doha turnarounds and very few layovers. True? How does it compare to Emirates?
-
#2 Partly. QR has a lot of Gulf, India and Europe turnarounds, and a month heavy on them happens. But a typical month still has 2-4 layovers, including long ones in Australia or the Americas. Days off around 8-9. Emirates crew report a slightly higher layover ratio on average, but it varies month to month at both.

#3 The turnaround-heavy months are actually good for the body clock and the bank balance. The layover months are good for the soul. You get both.
