Qatar Airways celebrates first Sydney Swans game with giveaway

Qatar Airways, official airline partner of the Sydney Swans, is giving one fan the experience of a lifetime as part of the AFL’s opening round at SCG this Friday night.

To celebrate the new season taking flight, Qatar Airways is giving away two Economy Class return flights to Doha, four nights’ accommodation, and a selection of unforgettable experiences, including the Discover Doha tour and a desert and inland sea safari to one lucky attendee and their travel buddy.

Fans attending the opening round game against Hawthorn simply need to collect their ‘Fly Me to Doha’ boarding pass at the entry gates of the SCG. During the quarter-time break, participants will need to hold their boarding pass in the air, wave, shout, and cheer, with the loudest and most engaged fan to be selected as the winner on the Big Screen.

Qatar Airways has been a proud partner of the Sydney Swans since 2016 and reaffirmed its commitment to the club by renewing the partnership in 2023 for a further multi-year term.

“We are incredibly proud of our partnership with the Sydney Swans and are excited to see how the team performs this season,” Qatar Airways regional manager, Australia and New Zealand, Justin Kestel, said.
