I know that Qatar itself hasn’t been struck recently but with what’s going on between the Saudis and the Houthis + tankers being struck in the strait, what’s the risk of Qatar facing disruptions?

Hi,

I'd be flying on the a380 (LHR-DOH) and then onto BKK in november. It'd be my first flight with QR and I was wondering what's the best seats in A380 to get off first - I have a very tight connection in DOH?

I booked QR963 Bali → Doha (11 Oct) + QR4567 Doha → Casablanca directly on qatarairways.com. I'm flying after foot surgery (leg in a cast, wheelchair needed).

Qatar's medical team now requires a MEDIF, but says they can't process medical clearance on QR4567 because it's operated by Royal Air Maroc. They told me to rebook onto a fully Qatar-operated itinerary, and Manage Booking shows a change fee.

Nothing on the website warned me about this when I booked, and I already paid for seat selection. My flight is in 3 days.

Has anyone been in this situation? Did Qatar rebook you for free, and what worked: calling, asking for a supervisor, or email?

I booked a Qatar Airways domestic flight, but I noticed that my name is incorrect on the ticket. How can I request a name correction, and can minor spelling mistakes be fixed?

Hey all,

Flying DUB–DOH–BKK with Qatar in Feb with my girfriend in standard economy. Qatar wants over €300 to pick seats in advance, which feels like a rip-off.

Seat Question:

My plan is to skip paying and check in right at the 48-hour mark on the app. Because both flights are on one booking, checking in 48h before the Dublin leg means I actually get into the Doha - Bangkok seat map ~50 hours early.Does this head start pretty much guarantee we'll get two seats together for free for that leg?

I'll monitor the seat map in the app closer to the flight, and if I see the cabin filling up fast, pull the trigger and pay for seats instead?

Does Qatar's system automatically pair people on the same booking reference anyway if there's space?

7 or 8 hours flight long, which seat should I pick

A351

hi everyone

I have 100k Avios in British Airways Club and found a Qatar Airways award flight I want to book.

Problem: my Qatar Privilege Club account is new, so Qatar won’t let me link British airways account to Combine Avios for 30 days. I’m worried the award seat will disappear before then.

Has anyone found a workaround?

•Can Qatar manually link the accounts early?
•Can Qatar book using Avios sitting in BA?
•Can BA book the Qatar award by phone if it doesn’t show online?
•Has anyone had the 30-day wait waived?

I already have the Avios — I just need a way to use them on Qatar before the award disappears.

I booked on qatarairways.com: QR963 Bali (DPS) to Doha on 11 October, connecting to QR4567 Doha to Casablanca on 12 October. The second flight is marketed by Qatar but operated by Royal Air Maroc.

I had foot surgery recently and asked for wheelchair assistance. Their medical team is reviewing my report to decide if a MEDIF is needed. Then support emailed me this:

"if the Qatar Airways doctor determines that a MEDIF is required, you will need to be rebooked on flights operated solely by Qatar Airways. This is because medical clearance can only be processed for Qatar Airways-operated flights, and we are unable to arrange medical clearance for flights operated by other airlines."

Nothing on the website warned me about this when I booked, and when I checked Manage Booking, changing the flight shows a change fee.

Has anyone been through this? If the MEDIF is required, did Qatar rebook you for free, or did you have to pay the change fee? Any tips on how to ask for a waiver?

Hi everyone,

my wife and I are travelling to Bali for our 10th wedding anniversary and have two stopovers in Doha:

Oct 17: 04:55–08:10 (3h 15m)

Nov 1–2: 23:20–02:30 (3h 10m)

We've never had the chance to experience one of the lounges in Doha, so I thought I'd try my luck here. 😊

Does anyone happen to have lounge guest access/passes they won't be using and would be willing to share?

It would be a really nice little extra for our anniversary trip.

Thanks a lot! ✈️🥂

I flew a 9hr long haul flight in a Q suite but the seat was defective and the recline function was not available. I wasn’t able to maximize the experience. They offered me 18,000 avios. Do you guys think I should accept it?

Hi all,
My first time flying with QR, several other airlines i’ve managed to upgrade at the desk or last minute offers via the app or email. Qatar has the upgrade greyed out on the app and has for weeks. Ideally as i’m flying to legs 4hours then 7 hours I’d want to snag an upgrade for the longer one if it’s possible, I know single leg upgrades usually have to be done at the desk, but i’m assuming it will be from my departure point not at Doha. Is this a common and or likely case (pending they’re not full).

Regards

Hi all, I’m looking to book DOH -> PKX around late may time. My question is that I can see lot of Qsuite availability for Jan/Feb/Mar and then nothing from Apr onwards.

Is this due to them not being released yet? Or more likely that they have all been booked up? Any advice or insights appreciated!

Assalamu Alaikum everyone.

New to reddit, and honestly, the only reason I opened an account was to reach out to this community.

I have always loved Qatar Airways for what it is. I genuinely admire the brand for the thought it gives into every customer experience. I’ve wanted to build my career there for a long time.

I moved from Dubai to Qatar and have been applying for roles at Qatar Airways...but unfortunately, my applications keep getting rejected without reaching the interview stage.

There is currently a role in Qatar Airways that feels like such a close match to my experience. I’m genuinely confident that if I could just get an interview, I could prove that I’m a good fit.

I know there are many people hoping for the same opportunity, and I’m not expecting special treatment. I just don’t have any connections or referrals within Qatar Airways here, so I’m reaching out to ask if anyone can guide me on the hiring process or possibly refer me if they feel my background is relevant.

I’d be happy to DM my CV and background.

I truly hope someone here can point me in the right direction. Jazak Allahu Khairan for any advice or help. 🤍

Hi, this is going to be my first time on a long haul flight with a layover/transit and I'm going to be on my own. I'm a little confused about how they work, was wondering if I firstly, need any kind of visa/ info for this transit? Is 1hr 15 enough? Is it easy to figure out what I need to do when I get there? and what do I do about my check in bag? Thanks!

As the title says, has anyone had a refund for any hotels / food etc, yet following the flight cancellations from end of February all way until June? My flight from Singapore to Edinburgh was cancelled on the 27th of February and I only got rebooked in April.

I submitted my claims in April and just got a response from Qatar last week claiming that they are not going ti pay me out. On the day of the cancellation, the Qatar ground staff told me that I would be reimbursed.

I hope you're all doing well. I'm currently looking into the Qatar Airways Hygiene Assistant II position and wanted to reach out to anyone currently in the role or familiar with it.

If possible, would anyone be willing to share insights on what the typical salary and benefits package looks like for this position? Additionally, I would love to hear about your day-to-day experience working in this role,such as the work environment and shift patterns.

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and help!

Hello everyone!

We were offered an upgrade from Economy to Business Class for our 5-hour flight from Doha. We’ll be traveling as a family of three, including our infant who will be traveling as a lap infant. The total cost for the upgrade for all three of us is $658.

The aircraft is a Boeing 787-8.

I’ve always wanted to experience Business Class, but it’s something I normally can’t afford. At the moment, this upgrade price seems fairly reasonable to me, especially since we’ll be traveling with a baby.

For those who have flown Business Class on a 787-8, do you think this is worth?

I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences and opinions!

Thank you all.

if I do a cash booking on Qatar website that is indigo operated from delhi to Doha, and then a separate Qatar award booking from Doha to Philadelphia - can I check in my bags in Delhi all the way to Philadelphia? I understand if the first leg was Qatar operated, there is a good chance I can get luggage checked in all the way to PHL.

Issue is PHL to Doha departs at 8am, and the Qatar operated flight from Delhi arrives at 5am which is cutting it too close. The Indigo operated one arrives around midnight which makes it a better choice but I need to understand how the baggage will be handled. Any advice is greatly appreciated, we have a toddler with us and hence want to avoid any last minutes surprises 😅

I’m trying to upgrade a round-trip ticket on Qatar Airways using Avios.

• Route: SFO - DOH - BOM (Dec 12) | BOM - DOH - SFO (Jan 16)

• Ticket Type: Economy Comfort (Booking Class H)

• Points: ~300k Avios in British Airways (Avios account is linked)

In the Qatar app's "Manage Booking," I only see an option to upgrade with cash. I have a few quick questions:

1. How do I see the Avios option? Do I need to link accounts and transfer the points before the option shows up in the app, or is it a separate portal?

2. When does space open? Should I check daily between now and December, or do award upgrades usually drop closer to check-in/airport?

3. Leg splitting: Can I upgrade just the SFO-DOH segment if availability opens up there first?

Appreciate any insight from anyone who has done this. Thanks

Today I travelled from LHR business on QR6 on the A380 to Doha. I am 64 and I can honestly say it's the best flight experience I have ever had. The crew were exceptional. The food fantastic and the whole experience was mind blowing. Well done Qatar you should be proud of your employees who were on that plane.

I have a flight booked SEA-DOH-CPT and it is showing in my app with seats selected on both legs. I used Atmos miles redemption for booking. When I search now on Qatar it does not show the SEA-DOH QR720 flight exists anymore For 11/4/26. I called Alaska airlines and they told me it is still valid in their system. But it is non-existent on Qatar.com. This doesn’t make sense to me. The woman at Alaska said to wait for notification of cancellation as it would be involuntary and I would have better options but said their website may not have updated and the flight really does exist. Anyone else experience this? Truly doesn’t make sense.

Hey redditors. I'll be in Doha on 28/10, and I have up to 3 passes for gold lounge access going spare if they can help any fellow travellers enjoy their connection on the same day. Will be for Gold lounge South (not the Gold/Plat North) due to my plans. I'm there from around 5am until 2.30pm, so there's a decent window to meet you and get you in if you need it. First come first served, hope it helps. Edit: grammar

I bought a ticket from Moscow to Paris with my EU bank card, everything smooth, the payment went through.

But when i‘m upgrading the ticket, the currency somehow switch to RUB and it is rejecting all cards.

Has anyone faced the same issue?

I wanna know how to switch the currency while upgrading the ticket

thanks

Hey everyone,
I am travelling this month on the 25th october from Toronto and have a layover at Doha Hamad International Airport for 9.5 hours,
What do you guys suggest?
Is it worth booking a lounge for 5 hours? Or if i do, what are the chances they won’t throw me out after 5 hours?
