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.

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport serves the city of Nagpur in India, and connects to international destinations around the world. This small airport provides a smooth and efficient service for customers flying from Nagpur with Qatar Airways, and thanks to its smaller size, the airport offers travellers a much more intimate and personalised service.

Staff go out of their way to help passengers have a pleasant and relaxed start to their journey, and because the airport only deals with around 4,000 passengers a day, the staff are able to devote more time to each individual, making this a genuinely friendly and welcoming airport.

Transportation and parking

The airport is reasonably well served with public transport, primarily buses and taxis. It is, however, advisable to pre-arrange your taxi through your hotel concierge to ensure that you are paying the correct fare to the airport. Buses run regularly to and from the city centre, but they can become very crowded during peak travel times, which can be inconvenient for those travelling with luggage. A new parking area accommodates 600 cars, and 18 bays provide extra space a little further away. These spaces do fill up very quickly, so it is best to make alternative arrangements for car parking outside the airport and then take public transport to the main terminal.

At the airport

Customers flying from Nagpur with Qatar Airways depart from the new terminal’s Departure area. There are 20 check-in and 20 immigration counters, so there can be delays during peak times. Allow at least two hours before your flight is due to leave to clear check-in and security, as checks can be very thorough and somewhat time-consuming.

Facilities and amenities

As the new terminal has only just been completed, amenities are still a little limited. However, there are some food and drink vendors offering snacks and beverages, and retail outlets are starting to take up residence, offering a range of locally made goods and some accessories. Prayer rooms are available for devotions, and Wi-Fi is available in some areas of the terminal building. Lounges for First and Business-class passengers offer more in the way of luxuries.

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.

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.
