The tickets booked for travel up to December 31, 2020, will now carry a validity for two years.

The passengers may also swap their ticket for QMiles or exchange it for travel voucher with 10 percent additional value. Further, the airline may also offer a full refund for the cancelled ticket or will provide a travel voucher, if requested.

Qatar Airways has started a phased expansion of its network depending on the passenger demand and the entry relaxation existing in various countries. As its network expands, the flexible booking policy will offer passengers to a wide array of travel choices.

According to Akbar Al Bakar, Group Chief Executive of Qatar Airways, the extension of flexible booking policy is a way to offer even more choice to the passengers. “We want to ensure that when they need to fly, they can travel with an airline they can trust. But if they need to change their plans, they can rely on us to make this easy for them,” he said.
