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 255 routes we track, it ranks 162 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.
