Follow QR1 in real time

The aircraft appears below whenever it is airborne and inside receiver coverage. Its planned route is drawn between the two airports.

QR1 is not transmitting right now. It may be between rotations, on the ground, or out of receiver range - Check back near 08:25 at DOH. The full map has the rest of the sky, and what is flying over me will name whatever is above you instead.

QR1 at a glance

  • The trip: 5,241 km (3,257 miles) from Doha to London, flying north-west.
  • How long: 7h 20m gate to gate. That is about 715 km/h on average, taxi time included.
  • Your watch: set it 3 hours back on arrival.
  • Window seat tip: the left (south-facing) side gets the sun on a daytime flight.
  • The plane: usually an Airbus A380-800. This route uses about 35% of how far it can fly.
  • When it goes: out of DOH in early morning, into LHR in midday.

QR1 route overview: DOH to LHR

QR1 distance and great-circle path

QR1 covers 5,241 km, or 3,257 miles. That makes it a long-haul flight, a widebody route with a full night's flying time. Of the 439 routes we track, it ranks 224 by distance.

The plane leaves Doha heading north-west. On the map above, the line looks curved. That is normal. The shortest path over a round planet never looks straight on a flat screen. Our guide explains how the DOH-LHR route appears on a tracker map.

Why QR1 block time differs from cruise time

The schedule allows 7.3 hours from gate to gate. That works out to about 715 km/h. An Airbus A380-800 cruises faster than that. The gap is taxi time, climbing, descending and holding.

Winds aloft shift the real flight time by up to an hour in either direction. See how high-altitude winds behave in our guide to turbulence and jet streams.

Can the Airbus A380-800 comfortably fly QR1?

Not at all. At roughly 35% of its range, this is an easy trip for an Airbus A380-800. The airline picked it for cabin size, not distance. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Airbus A380-800.

How much CO2 does QR1 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Airbus A380, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown5,241 km
AircraftAirbus A380-800
Fuel burn rate13.67 kg per km
Fuel burned71,653 kg
CO2, whole flight226.4 tonnes
Seats, typical layout525
Passengers carried436 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger519 kg

Where that lands by cabin

The aircraft burns the same fuel whoever is aboard, so the cabins divide one total rather than each carrying their own. A seat's share is the floor it takes up, which is why an economy seat comes out below the 519 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy410 seats, 340 flown
352 kg CO2 per seat
Business89 seats, 74 flown
1,022 kg CO2 per seat
First26 seats, 22 flown
1,409 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, QR1 emits what 3,774 trees take back out of the air in a year. One economy seat on it accounts for about the same carbon dioxide as driving a petrol car 3,055 km, or 14,838 km of the same journey by train.

How this is worked out. Fuel burn is read from published measurements of this type, taken at sectors of 3,704 km, 11,112 km and 13,334 km, interpolated to this route's 5,241 km. It counts carbon dioxide only, and the cabin split assumes the layout typical of this size of aircraft. Read the full method, sources and caveats, or put QR1 against another flight.
