Does Qatar Airways have a cancellation policy?

Yes, Qatar Airways has a cancellation policy that varies depending on the type of fare purchased. The key factor is whether your ticket is refundable or non-refundable. Refundable tickets can be canceled at any time before the flight, and you will receive a full refund to your original form of payment. These types of tickets are typically more expensive and offer the most flexibility.

For non-refundable tickets, you may still cancel, but you won’t receive a cash refund. Instead, Qatar Airways may offer you a travel credit or voucher to use on a future flight. In some cases, a cancellation fee may apply and will be deducted from the amount of the voucher. The remaining balance can be used for another ticket within a certain period, typically one year from the original booking date.

If you cancel your flight within 24 hours of booking and the departure is at least seven days away, Qatar Airways generally allows for a full refund, regardless of ticket type. This is in line with many international carriers’ policies.

Passengers can cancel their flights online through the Qatar Airways website under the “Manage Booking” section, or they can contact customer service. For bookings made through travel agencies, cancellations must be handled through those channels. It’s important to read the fare conditions during booking to understand the specific rules and fees that apply to your ticket.
