Qatar Airways made this announcement:
January 29, 2021 marked the introduction of Qatar Airways flights to Seattle/Tacoma (SEA) – allowing passengers traveling from the Pacific Northwest even more flexible travel options via the most connected and Best Airport in the Middle East, Hamad International Airport (DOH).
Seattle/Tacoma marks the airline’s eleventh U.S. gateway, surpassing the number of destinations it operated in the U.S. pre-COVID-19. The four weekly flights will be operated by Qatar Airways’ state-of-the-art Boeing 777-300 featuring 42 seats in Business Class and 312 seats in Economy Class.
Kicking off 2021 by expanding its West Coast footprint with inaugural fights to the Emerald City comes as the airline continues rapidly rebuilding – and expanding – its network across the globe. The new flights from Seattle follow last month’s successful San Francisco (SFO) to Doha launch.

As a points and miles fanatic, I’m always assessing my choice of loyalty programs.
Whether it be airlines, hotels or transferable points, I try and keep an eye on news surrounding each of the types of points I earn. This keeps me in the loop on devaluations, new transfer partners and other news.
Much for the same reason, I keep tabs on the programs I don’t actively earn too. Sure, this helps me write better content for TPG. But in the past, it’s helped me change my mind about earning certain types of points.
Qatar Airways further expands its strategic partnerships signing an expanded codeshare agreement with Iberia.
The agreement will enhance connectivity between the two airlines’ complementary networks and will offer additional travel options to our customers traveling between the Iberian Peninsula, Latin America, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East via the Best Airport in the Middle East, Hamad International Airport.
Sales of the added destinations have commenced already with the additional codeshare flights starting from today.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said: “We are pleased to further expand our codeshare cooperation with Iberia, Spain’s largest carrier and the leading airline connecting Europe with Latin America. Despite the challenges of 2020, it has been our priority to maintain reliable global connectivity for our passengers”.
