Montreal ๐Ÿ to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

  • Dates: Mid-September through October 2023

    • The only way to get the price so dynamically low is to take a 45 minute layover in Doha outbound and a 24 hour layover in Doha on return. It is a bit strange to have such a short/long layover combo but I think this works better than two 12 hour layovers.

    • To get this deal to work you must select the dates you want in Google Flights and then select โ€œBook with Qatar Airwaysโ€, then select the top flight option in each section on Qatar Airways site. I was able to get it to display the $2,797 price at the checkout screen on Qatar Airwayโ€™s website.
