In response to the coronavirus pandemic, Qatar Airways has modified its flight change policy. It has extended the validity of its guaranteed flexibility policy for all tickets issued on/after March 1, 2019 with a travel completion date by September 30, 2022

The revised policy gives you a lot more flexibility to suit your plans—without having to pay any penalty. You can now hold on to your ticket and travel later, make unlimited changes to your ticket for free, and convert your ticket into a voucher with 10% bonus. 

Under Qatar’s new change flight policy, you can:

1. Hold on to your ticket and use it during its extended validity.

Your Qatar Airways ticket is now valid for 2 years from its date of issue. This means you can keep your ticket open for longer and use it for its full value within its extended validity period, as long as you complete your travel by September 30, 2022.

2. Make unlimited changes to your ticket.


You can change your date of travel and destination in the same cabin class free of charge—and as often as required

  1. Only the fare and tax/fee/surcharge differences (if any) will apply. 
  2. You must complete your travel within the extended validity period of the ticket, but no later than September 30, 2022.

You can make the changes online (if you booked directly with Qatar Airways), or by phone (+1-844-933-2065) in all cases.

3. Claim a voucher with 10% more value.

If you booked your ticket directly with Qatar Airways, you can convert the unutilized value of your ticket into a travel voucher with 10% more value, and use it for future travel. To exchange your ticket with a voucher, click here or call Qatar.

My daughter was stopped from boarding a flight to Cyprus due to not having a study admission letter. She now have got the university admission letter and we would like to book a flight unfortunately there is very high penalty fee yet it was the airline that stopped my daughter from boarding the flight. May you please explain why the penalty charge yet it was the airline that blocked my daughter from boarding the flight?
