Qatar Airways and Virgin Australia have launched ‘Dine on Us’ – offering complimentary dining for passengers travelling through Doha to and from Australia.

Starting 12 June 2025, Qatar Airways Privilege Club and Virgin Australia’s Velocity Frequent Flyer members, will receive dining vouchers worth US$20 that can be used at more than 50 restaurants and cafes at Hamad International Airport.

Travellers, including Privilege Club Family and Student Club members, automatically become eligible for the vouchers once they add their Privilege Club or Velocity Frequent Flyer number to their flight booking at the time of booking or check-in.

‘Dine on Us’ vouchers can be used at a wide range of dining options at Doha Airport: from unique cafes; to the elegant Harrods Tea Room; and Gordon Ramsay outlets.

Qatar Airways Chief Commercial Officer, Thierry Antinori, said: “Qatar Airways has partnered with Velocity Frequent Flyer to reward loyalty members. We look forward to welcoming global travellers to Dine on Us.”

Privilege Club Platinum, Gold and Silver members and Velocity Frequent Flyer Platinum and Gold members flying to or from Australia with Qatar Airways or Virgin Australia will be eligible for enhanced priority experience.

All membership tiers offer benefits such as seat selection, baggage allowance, lounge access, and priority check-in.

Additionally, Privilege Club members can earn and spend their Avios at Qatar Duty Free.

Members can also earn Qpoints while shopping and dining with Qatar Duty Free.
