Some might say Qatar Airways receive an unfair amount of praise for their business class cabin. Those people clearly haven’t actually flown Qatar business class. While other airlines were just beginning to add flat beds with aisle access, Qatar Airways created private suites, known as the famous “QSuite”. Business class sales on Qatar have largely dried up lately, but these £1598 Malaysia offers from London or Edinburgh are your best bet…

Most good Qatar Airways business class deals have traditionally originated from European cities like Stockholm, Oslo or Sofia. That’s fantastic for travelers in those cities, but not for UK peeps. These deals take you from London or Edinburgh to Penang, Malaysia. Penang is the perfect city to explore nearby Langkawi, or jet off to other Southeast Asian gems like Singapore, Bangkok, Laos, Vietnam and beyond. It’s also just a great place to stay. If traveling from London, you can select virtually any Boeing 777 or Airbus A350 flight, to lock in fully private QSuites on the leg from London to Doha and back. You’ll enjoy a Boeing 787 or A330 on the Doha to Penang flight.

All flights route via Doha, so if you’re interested in exploring, you can even wrangle a free hotel night. Doha is a spectacular place to layover, whether you leave the airport or not, thanks to the sprawling Al Mourjan business class lounge. It’s like a city. Here’s a Google Flights example, in case you have trouble pulling up dates.
