With a dramatic skyline of shining towers, huge open prairies surrounding it and a thriving arts scene, Dallas is Texas’ second-largest city and one of its most important commercial centres. Alongside the commerce and the oil industry is a city with a thriving arts scene and some historic centres of national and international importance.

A sprawling metropolis shaped by its oil riches, Dallas is the third biggest city in Texas and home to many popular attractions. Book a flight ticket to Dallas with Qatar Airways and experience the best of both worlds – ultra-modern attractions and old-world charm.

Also known as Bombay, Mumbai is one of the busiest cities in the world. Home to over 20 million people, it’s also a huge attraction for overseas business and leisure visitors.

Passengers flying from Mumbai with Qatar Airways will travel through the ultra-modern Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, one of the most important air transport hubs and ranked as the third best in the world in the 25–40 million passengers category by Airports Council International in 2013.

Facilities are outstanding and the efficiency and friendliness of the staff means that travellers will have an excellent passenger experience from start to finish.

Parking and transportation

Mumbai has an extremely efficient public transport system, although because of the sheer number of people crammed into a few square miles, buses and coaches can be very busy.

The transport network includes the Mumbai Suburban Railway, Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) buses, taxis and auto-rickshaws, giving travellers plenty of options for getting to and from the airport.

There are 1500 parking spaces at the International terminal and frequent travellers can book a monthly parking pass, which is considerably more cost effective and efficient. 

Arriving at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport

Passengers flying from Mumbai with Qatar Airways depart from Terminal 2, which is the main International Terminal. This huge, brand new terminal has 192 check-in counters and 60 immigration counters, and again because of the sheer number of passengers and flights passing through this airport every day, it is advisable to arrive at least two hours before your flight is due to depart. Lounges are available for all passengers to relax in, including exclusive VIP lounge areas. 

Facilities and amenities

The airport is well served with facilities, including plenty of retail outlets and Duty-Free areas, where you can buy everything from local handicrafts to top quality perfume.

The Terminal has its own art exhibitions too, which are a pleasure to look at while waiting for your flight. Wi-Fi is available in public areas, and there is also a luxury wellness area offering everything from quick reflexology foot massages to full body massage and spa treatments.

Book a flight to Dallas with Qatar Airways and you’ll arrive in one of the most welcoming cities in America, where the smiles are as big as the 10-gallon hats.

The city is made up of various districts, each with their own unique personality and charm. Discovering everything that Dallas has to offer may take more than one trip, but you can guarantee you’ll be welcomed back with the same warmth and enthusiasm, no matter how often you visit.

Tourist attractions

Dallas has a wealth of museums, from the Dallas Museum of Art to the new Perot Museum of Nature and Science (hugely popular, so book your tickets in advance to ensure you can get in). The most infamous is perhaps the Sixth Floor Museum at the Texas Book Depository, from where Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated President Kennedy in 1963.

Another unusual museum is the Museum of Geometric and MADI Art, which focuses on digital art rather than more traditional paintings and sculpture.

Dallas loves its sports, and if you get a chance to catch an American football game during your stay then head to the AT&T Stadium in Arlington to watch the Dallas Cowboys play.

There are also arenas for the NBA team the Dallas Mavericks at the American Airlines Center in Downtown Dallas, where you’ll also find the Dallas Stars ice hockey team.

There are plenty of open spaces in this modern city, and a great place to relax for a while is the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens along the south banks of White Rock Lake in East Dallas.
