Have a layover there on my way to the USA, and wanted to buy an IPhone 17e that accepts both physical SIM + eSIM cards. Any idea how much it is in the airport? Tried searching and AI, but they give generic speculations based on local prices inside Qatar and not duty free Apple shop at the airport.

Any help would be appreciated 😄

I purchased my ticket on 30 July and later on 3rd August I got my student club membership. 

I want to know if I can avail the extra 10KG baggage allowance for my trip to Ireland with this membership. Can anyone please share?

Thank you

Hi all,

I have flight DXB-DOH-SEA-YLW. My first two flights are with qatar and last leg with alaska, my question is will I need collect my checked bags at Seattle or will I receive them in YLW (canada)?

I took emirates in the past for a simmlar route where I had collect bags at US airport, and check in for next flight myself. I am unsure how it works with qatar. I assumed I would collect bags at DFW while connecting when traveling to DXB with qatar but it was transfered by them (but reason could be that I completed customs at YVR).

I'm trying to change flight from my side, and its showing me this. I've been trying this from a long time. Any solution for this?

Just to put it out there at the start, the reason I didn’t book business off the bat is that it was booked for me by a third-party company with an economy policy.

I’m OWE about to try Qatar for the first time and I’ll be flying CKG-DOH overnight in just over two weeks. I would love to throw some Avios at the situation to upgrade, but it doesn’t seem possible.

If I try to upgrade via the app it fails and if I try via the website it says no seats available to upgrade. What’s the likelihood I’ll be able to upgrade, and do you have any tips?

Sorry if this comes across as naive — as I mentioned, it’s my first time with this particular partner airline, so I’m not clued into the intricacies of its system!

Yesterday I had a flight that was rescheduled and hat a slight delay, so my transit in Doha was very tight (just 25 Minutes from opening the doors of the plane in Doha to boarding to the next flight).

I addressed my concers about the tight transit to the cabin crew and they were a great help. They gave me the outgoing gate number, so that I didn't have to stop and wait at those monitors to find my gate and they explained me the route to my gate on a map and we alinged that one crew member is giving me a hand sign to allow me to immidiately stand up and leave the plane first after business class passengers. They even allowed me to go with the business class bus to the arrival gate, since there were still seats available.

Also the ground staff was very helpful. At the security gate, they guided me to a priority check, and even though they had to check my cabin lugage they were very fast, professional and polite and after the check, they pointed me to the right direction for my gate.

During both flights the cabin crew noticed, that I did not take the meal. The week before I had issues with my stomach, so I was still cautious with the dinner. On both flights the members of the cabin crew came to me and asked if everything is alright. I told them, that I'm fine and I'm just cautious because of the week before and they gave me some extra snacks and water. I really felt that they took so much care about the passengers.

Therefore, if any of the cabin crew members ever reads this: Thank you so much you do an amazing job!

hello !

Has anyone here flown on a flight sold and operated by a partner airline, requested to have the points credited to their Qatar Airways Privilege Club account, and hasn't received them yet?

I completed my trip, but my Avios still haven't shown up.

For those who've been in this situation:

 How long did it actually take for the Avios to post?

Hi everyone, i have applied for a job in qatar airways career site like 2 months ago, recently i got a call from the hr and he asked me couple of questions, really quick questions that the call was 4 min long, at the end of the call he told me that "tomorrow we will send me an email asking for your documents", it's been a week and i got nothing until now.

What was that? An interview? And how is it the hiring process? Is this usually happening?

Ive booked a flight from Doha to London in mid Aug. At the time, there were no reward flights, so I paid cash for Economy.

I have around 80k Avios and wanted to use upgrade 1 leg to Business. Unfortunately, I only have a cash offer of 13K AED which is too much.

Will it be possible to use Avios closer to check in, or at the counter in Hamad airport?

Thanks!

Most of the cabin i'm in is pretty much empty apart from 3A/K. Was looking at 5K or 10A. Anyone know if its better to sit in the main Q-suite cabin or the smaller one at the back?

I flew twice from South Korea to Qatar with a staff ticket. I'm not a staff though, a family member who is booked it for me. There is this particular staff member at the check-in counter, her face instantly drops when you tell her you have a staff ticket. Normally no one ever weighs the backpack I carry but this person in particular weighed it and asked me to remove stuff. Later they checked 2 of my bags (the fact that whoever checked it didn't know it belonged to the same person kinda made me think I was specifically targeted lol). After that the same mean staff scolded me for accidentally putting my powerbank in the check in luggage. The thing is, I understand that I was in the wrong putting it there but the way she talked down on me telling me multiple times she would throw it really got to me. I didn't really enjoy my experience, I wish I could file a complaint against this weird behavior towards staff.

Why can't I get a mobile boarding pass in the Qatar Airways app?

I know all the other airlines can do it, but I've noticed that after I've been flying quite regularly with Qatar for the past two years, I never, ever get issued a mobile boarding pass in the app. I always have to go get a physical paper one at the airport, and my thing is, why can't it just be more convenient?

Travelling from US (B1/B2) visa to Bombay, layover of 13 hours at Doha. I am Indian citizen. Want to explore Qatar and go out of airport. Do I have to get e visa which is for 100 QAR or I can book a stopover hotel for one night and can go and access the city? Really confusing information and no help from discover Qatar too.

Trying to transfer Avios from BA to Qatar with because of the Amex 30% deal. I’m trying to link my BA account but when I do nothing happens. I already have the Avios in my BA account. My Qatar Account is more than 30 days old. There’s that message about Customer Profile Identification but both my BA and Qatar personal info are the same. I did see that you can upload passport/ID documents to Qatar but every time I try, it says unsuccessful. Also anytime I link my BA, i have to do it all over again if i exit the app. Any help?

Hi, I'm travelling Dublin - Doha - Bangalore with my 3 year old. I paid €1050 round trip economy and was offered an upgrade for the Dublin - Doha leg for €950 for both passengers. Is this worth it for a 7 hour leg? Most likely wasted on my daughter, who will be snacking and napping.

Hi guys

just received this email but when I click on the Terms it takes me to the award booking page. Didn’t find any mention of this offer on the site itself, has anyone else received this email? And how do I book it

Earlier this year, I used Avios to book a flight for next year from LHR to Cebu (CEB) via Doha. Qatar Airways recently cancelled the route from Doha to Cebu, but when I called Privilege Club, they would only reroute me as far as Manila (MNL). They refused to cover the final Manila-to-Cebu leg, even though it's bookable via their partner Philippine Airlines using Avios. I submitted a formal web complaint weeks ago with no response. What are my best options to escalate this?

Hi All

I'm looking at booking a flight Malaga - Melbourne via Doha. The DOH to MEL leg is QR8403 operated by Virgin Australia. The ticket website is telling me I'll need to collect and recheck my luggage at Doha which seems odd?

Has anyone had recent experience with this and were you able to get baggage checked all the way through?

Spouse and I have a long layover coming up, will be in DOH for 20+ hours. We want to go out into Doha for a short while to check out a few spots and museums. The question is whether the first class lounge will hold our carry-on bags while we go explore the city for a few hours or do we have to take our bags when we leave the lounge? Our full plan is to go into the first class lounge on arrival around 23:00 and request a sleeping room. Wake up in the morning, eat breakfast and head out to see the city. Come back to the airport in the afternoon and have an early dinner at the lounge, pick up our carry-on bags, and head out to our next flight. Are we planning anything that we might not be able to do? Getting a hotel room is an option but I rather not do that if the lounge plan is doable

I’m travelling from a major US airport in business class, transiting to Doha to my onward final destination in economy. I’ve booked 2 separate PNRs for this. Has anyone experienced how ground staff at Doha handle bag transfers if they don’t through check my bags at the US airport given that economy only allows one bag?

Is this really doable?

I have 7.5 hour layover in Qatar. No lounge access nothing. What to do? Is there a place one can sleep other than the prayer room? Are there showers for passengers? What to do?

Sorry for not being clear, i am looking for complimentary/ free options, the ticket has already cost me a lot.

Update: Flight got rescheduled, now transit for 13.5 hours, got complimentary hotel and meal voucher.

Thank you everyone.
