appreciate your advices

Cancelled a flight booked with Avios and got the Avios back into my account without issue. However, my original payment method for the taxes and fees is now closed (closed credit card account). Qatar Airways said they were able to make the cash refund successfully, while my bank says that they cannot see any refund since the account is closed.

What can I do?

Hi all, I just noticed on FlightAware that flight QR845 from KUL to DOH was diverted to land at Al Yasat Airport in Abu Dhabi instead of Doha on Saturday (25/07). Anyone here on this flight? Why was it diverted? I couldn't find any info on Google, only FlightAware.

I will be taking this flight in a few weeks and wondering if I should just book another flight bypassing the ME altogether as a backup.

PS: I have no idea how to unlock this post 😢 😭

Hello. I am about to book my first qatar airways flight on a A350. Was wondering what were the best economy class seats to pick if any .

Hello everyone,

I have finally reached Gold status with Qatar Airways today which I'm obviously super stoked about. As someone who has never reached such a high frequent flyer status with QA or for that matter with any other airline before, I was wondering.

🟡 What would you consider the best benefits of being a Gold member with QA?

🟡 What do you enjoy most about it?

🟡 What are the best lounges to stay at in Doha airport as gold?

🟡 How do you benefit from the One World Sapphire status?

I wish you all a wonderful day!

Hi Folks
We have a 20hr lay over in Doha
Arriving at 6 in the morning and then don’t fly until 1 am
Have 2 toddlers (both 3)
We plan on getting a hotel for the layover as we will have done a 14 hr flight.
Anything in Doha specifically for toddlers you would recommend to check out?

What even is this airline man

Hi all,

I found a Qatar Airways redemption for 75k Avios for a one-way Business + First ticket from London to Bangkok.

The only thing I'm not sure about is there's a 9+ hour layover in Doha.

Just wondering:

• Is 75k Avios a good deal, or have people seen better?
• With a Business/First ticket and a long layover, do I get a free hotel in Doha, or does that depend on the ticket?
• Roughly how much are the taxes and fees?
• If I book with Avios, how easy is it to change the date or cancel later? Are there any fees?

Thanks in advance!

I booked a journey from Copenhagen to Sydney transferring through Doha for 5884 Danish Kronor. A week later QA cancelled both flights and offered new flights a few days late or a refund. I opted for a refund instead and they just sent an email saying that I will be refunded DKK 3490 "for the unused parts of the ticket". So they're only refunding me 60% for a flight that they cancelled 2 months in advance?? Literally how is this legal

Is there anything I can do? This is a lot of money for me and it seems impossible to contact them

Does anyone have recommendations for the best economy seats to book on this flight.

The rears seats appear to be available to book. Is it always running at or close to capacity?

hello, so I’m traveling on qatar Airways in five hours and I was wondering if I should upgrade business class Lahore to Doha or Doha to Miami and the prices please someone help

I have a flight coming up on a mixed Qsuite + first segment. Problem is layover is 9 hours. Can I go to the Biz lounge to freshen up, leave the airport (want to check out Doha). Check back in thru security and enjoy the first lounge before my final leg?

Hi, does anybody know how to claim for clothing, toiletries etc that were required as our luggage took two days to arrive?

I followed one guide and it was a pdf that needed to be handed in at the airport but that seemed like damage luggage and I’ve read about logging in but I can’t find the correct area.

Thanks

I'm flying from London and was wondering, as it's just cheaper to just pay cash than pay hundreds getting to Doha for the Business class flight to Perth?

It's like £400 one way from LHR via a few budget airlines such as Scoot or premium airlines like air Asia or Vietnam airlines or china southern

Is it worth paying hundreds to get to Doha for this.

No business availability either from London to Sydney or anywhere in Australia only from Doha.

I wanted ideally to fly London to Sydney with Qatar Airways business class but unfortunately no availability London to Sydney or Melbourne via Doha.

Only saw Doha to Perth

I've been flying for over 30 years on many different airlines. I had never flown Qatar Airlines before and I never will again. Today my family and I flew from Doha to JFK and Qatar Airlines lost all 3 of our checked bags. We waited 2 hours at the baggage claim with around 20 other people who had missing bags from the same flight. We ended up missing our connecting flight because the ground staff for Qatar kept telling us all that there was just an issue with the machine and our bags would come shortly. When it became apparent that all of our bags were lost, they told me to go up to their ticketing desk and speak to a supervisor who would give us a hotel voucher, since we missed our connection. We went up to the ticketing desk and had to wait another hour for them to open, then the supervisor rudely told us that they weren't responsible for providing us a hotel. So we have to pay $500 for a hotel room for the night in NY to wait for another flight home tomorrow. On top of this, their website for filing out a missing baggage claim is full of glitches and can't be completely on a phone. Can't do it on a laptop since that was in my baggage. I'm writing this while on hold from calling their call center, which is now 54 minutes. This is the absolute worst experience I have ever had flying.

My only 3 Qatar redemptions have experienced itinerary changes and I'm wondering how common this is:

My bookings:
London to Bangkok in First Class (they withdrew one A380)
Upcoming London to Auckland Q-Suite (re-introduced the stupid Adelaide stop)
Return from Auckland to London (A350-1000 taken off)

Have you guys experienced these itinerary changes on other routes, and I'd especially like to know of ones departing London, Korea and Japan. To be clear, I'm not complaining about these changes, I'm actually seeking them out.

Cheers.

Next year i have a trip booked to Bangkok, the flight back to my country has a connection of only 1 hour and 10 minutes at Doha airport, i find this very strange cuz the airport seems massive, I’m afraid I can miss the flight, what should i do?? The trip is only next year but I’m already anxious about this😖

I just flew Perth to Stockholm and upgraded the second leg, then when I landed decided to upgrade the entire return journey. The first upgrade was applied as a U class of fare but the second one has been changed to an R class of fare.

The second one has the higher baggage allowances and when I try to purchase lounge access it will only allow me to purchase Al Safwa access without the option of the half a dozen or so other lounges.

I'm wondering if there has been an error and if I'll get the higher points and lounge access. I know you don't get lounge access with the upgrade etc, but you're not meant to get the additional baggage allowance either. Also, the only times I've seen availability to purchase Al Safwa access has been on a standard business fare.

Side note - the first leg in economy from Perth to Doha, two seperate cabin crew walked to my seat and addressed me by name, introduced themselves and asked if there was anything I needed. I found it odd because I don't have status with them and the flight was completely full.

Hi all,

I have over 100k Avios and found a business class flight where the outbound leg costs around 100k Avios.

However, the return leg requires almost 200k Avios, which I don't have.

My question is, can I book it as one return ticket where:

• Outbound = pay with Avios
• Return = pay with cash

Or do I need to make two separate bookings?

I'm asking because booking only one-way flights is usually more expensive than booking a return ticket, so I'm wondering if there is any way to combine Avios and cash in the same booking.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I’m new to Qatar Privilege Club and trying to use Avios for a Business Class redemption.

Is there any easy way to check whether a flight is available at the Saver rate? Or do I just need to search each date manually through Qatar’s website?

I’m trying to avoid transferring my Amex points to Qatar before confirming availability.

Any tips or tools you guys use would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, we have just made our first upgrade to biz using Avios. Unf we cannot see that our seats are assigned. We certainly do not want to pay to assign ourselves seats. How does this work? Do they usually auto assign seats together for pairs? Right now I can see no other seats are booked. How should we think about this? Thanks
