A Qatar Airways flight has gone viral after photos showed around 80 falcons travelling in Economy Class as part of a Saudi prince’s entourage, leaving social media users amazed.
According to widely shared posts, each falcon had its own ticket and occupied a passenger seat alongside travelers. While many online described the sight as unusual, transporting falcons by air is a well-established practice in the Middle East, where falconry is an important cultural tradition.
What made this flight stand out was the unusually large number of birds travelling together, turning an otherwise routine journey into a viral aviation moment and sparking widespread discussion across social media.
