What should I do about my Qatar flight to Doha in light of the current war situation?

Just fly another airline. why take the chance. Iran is unpredictable. Firing missles in all direction and all countries nearby

U do know what is happening, right??

It's safe to say that for the next wekk or two, regular flight from or to the persian gulf region are canceled

Please,you help me,I need advice.I Have a ticket Minchen(Lufthansa) to Bankog-Koh Samui.,16.3 departure..I am afraid.for the fly will be delayt ..And koh Samui the plane can't Wait..And back,maybe the plane Will be canclet 🤕 what Will i do .Iam old And my english Is horible..poor grandma

It might go but probably won't. If you have the means let Qatar cancel your fliight and book something else right now. Points flights are still out there I just checked.

Try to get a ticket via Tokyo then across the Pacific. Deal with refunds later

Called who ? An agent in the Philippines reading from a script...

No one knows at the moment.

I wonder why da

If you think of the 1,000s of people who are flying on Qatar, the could Never be able to have enough phone lines and people to handle everything. If you are flying in the next 48hrs i get you need to reach out to them, otherwise allow the immediate urgent needs to be handled. Check their website, there may be instructions. PS: our supreme leader ( Trump) will have his beautiful war resolved very soon so the airspace is safe.

What number did you call? I called them 2 times and waited less than 5 mins to talk to them

Ask your dumb president

You may be sol on that flight

Call Donald Trump or Be Be and ask them what is going on?

Why not wait until 9th March?

Start hitch hiking

I would not go that way now! It’s dangerous. But you need to use you common sense and decide what to do. I would go thru Korea or Japan. Delta could probably help you

You’ll have a rerouted flight most likely. Nothing going through Qatar currently.

God bless you then..

Keep the flight

Or eva airlines

I would make accounts on airlines you are flying on and make sure everything is done thru the account so it’s all documented

Do not cancel by yourself. Wait for them to cancel and offer you alternatives.

Email

I really wonder why they treat you so bad. I mean, it’s not like there is a war going on

Its impossible to know how long this conflict will last.

I wonder why….??? Idiot!

What are you expecting them to tell you?

Why are you not flying via Korea/ Taiwan/Japan instead of flying via an area where there is a war right now

You are low priority

Head to Pattaya u won’t want to go back

There’s a chance they are busier than normal.

..maybe they are busy..

Do you blame them? Seriously!

Who’d call? Just email or leave message. Welcome to 2026

You have to fly through south Korea

Someone has gave information that that you must wait for canselation notice from you airlines before you rebook your flight so that question of responsibilty not arise.

you have many days to prepare but , for someone bought ticket Emirates flight 2 ways since last year and his extension visa will expired same day of flight back home this weekend, can not contact and don't get any answer email form Emirates.😞

What are you gonna do if you get through?

Hi, hello sorry to bother you. Just wondered if you could tell me what the crazy orange man is going to do in 12 days time 🙄

Same. On 26. The app still shows the flight.

Singapore works...

So what you want Facebook strangers to do for you? 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

You will probably only get viable undated 24 hrs prior to. Even if airport/airspace opens not suite how they will handle the backlog . QR said nothing for at least a week while Dubai is day to day .

Our flight was canceled

Wait closer to the date. No one can predict the future. Just like all this panic buying. Creating problems that dont exist

If you call 2 days before you leave the way its going you might not get even a ring .

Still 12 days away.

Call iran. They will send you direct flight ✈️

Ages away yet

Good luck.

Text them, email them instead of calling. The airport was bombed ffs.

you should know better

On the website you will get disclaimer and I fos

Might be better to rebook with an airline that travels over the Pacific Ocean to America and avoid the Middle East

Doha and Dubai Airport were bombed! Don't you watch the news on TV?

Don't fly arab!

They answered my call ….

I have a flight from denmark to Doha, and from Doha to 🇸🇨 in july ;)

Ethiopian está volando con normalidad. La escala camino a América es en África. Es una de las pocas que llega a Asia en estos momentos.

I just heard from two German couples who are stuck in Doha and have arranged their own flights. It cost them €3,000 each via Switzerland, but they have to take an 8-hour bus ride to another airport. I highly recommend you look for a different flight.

And they waited for your call.

Forget abt America. Dangerous. Wr dont even know how the situation next. Whether it is good or bad.

They're inundated of course they're not answering

Because there is a war going on.

Cathay Pacific is another option

Korean airlines is the best… you should feel lucky. Best airline ever

If you are worried buy a refundable ticket or book one with points. No one knows if DOH airspace will be open. If you do get through, all QR might do us allow you to cancel or rebook for a later date. But they are dealing with all the 1000s of canceled flights 2 weeks ahead if yours

They will give you the option to cancel for a full refund once you’re inside of 7 days. I have a flight the 14th myself so I’m crossing my fingers the air space opens back up but it’s not looking great at the moment. I have a daily ChatGPT update going on it. 😂

Welcome to my world! ☹️

Too early to do much unless you are happy to buy another ticket for which the price is trending high.

There are people with immediate issues ! Bigger and more important than yours. Stop jamming phone lines further . People who are stuck need it more 🤦🏻‍♀️ common sense and less self importance required.

Why do you reckon that is?

It’s is stupid, entitled selfish yanks like you clogging up the phone lines causing the issues.

Look on their website.

The phone lines are for people with real and immediate issues

Qatar is great when they fly …. But customer service wise ? Forget it

You’d better find an alternative flight via Pacific before they’re all booked out. Don’t wait for airlines to take action. They will just make you wait until last minute. Avoid middle eastern airlines for the time being.

Cancel your flight. Fly over the Pacific with an Asian airline through Japan, Korea, Manila, or Taipei. There are many options.

Im gutted I got a direct flight from the UK. Just my luck to not get an extended trip at the expense of the insurance

Keep calling ……eventually they pickup …..

You should book a new flight to America through Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong or Korea. Qatar airspace is closed until further notice.

It’s way too early to be calling the airline, Nobody, including the airlines can predict what the situation is going to be.

Just enjoy your holiday and don’t stress.

Currently commercial airlines and missiles do not share the same airspace well.

Try chat, email…

Give your reference to one of your friends or family in America to call the airline from America, I am sure this could help you.

About the flight you can contact your family in America call from your hometown give them your reference, try that way can help you. I used to do it for my friends. Otherwise, call again by your side.

I think you might have a problem

Go to their office, BKK, Sukhumvit, Exchange Tower.

Buy a fully refundable ticket on an airline that doesn’t transit through a war zone and go about your business for the next week to 10 days until it is time to think about this. Qatar will either reaccommodate you or refund you if needed. There are people in Doha now that they need to take calls from.

Change your flight..the conflict will be worse by then.

Even if someone was to pick uo, what do you want from them? They are not dealing with reservations two weeks out right now. Stop clogging up the lines!

Better stay put than dropping from the sky

No you're not!!

Normally Airlines need to ensure the passengers safety and wait for their information updates. If you cancel, ensure that you mention it when talking to them. Otherwise you may not get the full refund.

Seriously? It's a war. Rebook your flight eastward and contact them after hostilities are over. Insurance doesn't usually cover war, so you're SOL. Just don't cry about it, please because people are dying right now and your problems really don't register on the importance scale.

Turkish airlines has no cancellations from America to BKK .

Flights will be starting in next 3-4 days at most

What would you say if they answered?

Why would you want to go to USA 👀

Reroute through Korean airlines or air china or even Japan air seem like the only option

Usually Airlines have the responsibility for the passengers safety. They are obliged to provide you a full refund or alternative arrangements. When ask for a refund, mention that if they are safe to fly. If you initiate a cancellation, you may not get a full refund.

Thanks for sharing.

What you expect from here ?

You can thank your president orange shitweasel for starting another war for Zionist IsraHELL

Well in wartime, thats a long time from now. Do a wait and see for another week. What country in the Americas are you trying to get to? It’s unclear in your post.

Meaning u r not scare of missel

Youe call is very important to them. Please stay on the line, and someone will be with you as soon as possible.

Need to rebook maybe Japan or Korea or China! Nothing going through doha or dubai for a month or more ! 🤔

Cancel and re-book on Thai, straight across the Pacific

Ughhhhh we can stop now. ATP y’all there are other ways to get to the USA via China and HK from Thailand

U can log into the qatar app & literally request to cancel/change flights. U dont need ro call.

Your SOL!

You better find yourself a ride to Riyadh. Truck Bus or Camel!

Hamad International Airport in Doha has temporarily suspended all flight operations due to the closure of Qatari airspace amid regional military tensions.

Current Operational Status

As of March 1, 2026, Hamad International Airport (HIA) has confirmed a temporary suspension of all aircraft movements following the closure of Qatari airspace. This suspension affects both arrivals and departures, and passengers are strongly advised not to travel to the airport until further notice (The Peninsula Qatar, Indian Express). The closure is a precautionary measure in response to regional military developments,

It is pretty nerve-racking for someone wanting to return home and pointing out their frustration with the current situation, only to get snarky and useless comments, but then again, this is Social Media. I wonder if the OP can get a refund from the airlines and then fly on a carrier going over the Pacific and then pay for an additional flight to the East Coast, where I am assuming is their destination

cancel it. the airline probably already cancelled it. book another fight. not thru the middle east. i guess you dont read or watch the news.

And? Just wait. The flight will operate or cancel. Any change you make now will be at your cost given the flight is so far in the future

Turn the TV on out it on news

Due to unforeseen circumstances they are not able to take your call, email will be your best bet..

You have 2 weeks, what do u want them to do predict what even Trump, Netanyahu and whoever is running Iran do not know?

🙈

Decide on the day if not happy don't get on the plane

Oh, I see now, they fly from Thailand, through Europe & ME, to the States.

I hope your situation gets well solved soon ! 🙏🏻✌🏻

Allen Ling is correct… calm down one thing I’ve learned abroad, patience is key. And nowadays, that key everywhere.

No flights into Dubai for weeks

Singapore Airlines ftw

I'm Dutch, I knew people on flight MH17 that was shot out of the sky above the Ukraine. If they're closing airspace it's for your safety...

demands explanations from Trump

If you help spot missles while flying then they’ll let you go

Better xtend ya holiday few more months

Switch your flight and go through Seoul instead.

Try to change flight through Turkey or fly through China, Seoul, or Tawain. That's generally the direction I go anyways.

All flights in the region canceled. Go to the US consulate for procedural instructions.

It’s the Twilight Zone 😊

Dude, change your route. Don’t sign up to fly through a war zone

Still 13 more days to worry if you ever will arrive back home, enjoy your time :-)

They won't know, ages away yrt

Last war ended in 12 days - stop panicking. Or pay the price of panicking and risk loosing money by buying different connection.

Dubi qatar look on flight tracker just flying round iran

Why do you want to talk to Qatar now? They cannot predict how the war goes.

Yup same

I suspect flights will be cancelled a few days out, anyone's guess after that as it depends on hostilities. If its protracted I would think the airlines that can would try to divert to safer airports like Istanbul or Cairo as temporary hubs or fly direct where possible. All those Middle Eastern carriers have the kit to fly direct from London or New York to Bangkok and plenty of other points. Planners make plans.

Doha no go at the moment, at least for 3 or 4 weeks.

Get refund from trump

Fly United next time.

Cheaper from USA and you fly across Pacific.

More stable.

Ring your president.

He's in charge of it all.

rebook

Too early

Don't bank on it happening

I'm booked on Emirates for a tour of Egypt and 4 day stop over in Dubai. Initial flight is on 12 April. It probably won't happen, nor anything to get stressed about and wait your turn. My tour is 50% paid and I insured my trip. I'll get my monies back, not tomorrow or next month, but eventually. Just book another flight with safe air traffic. . Qatar will refund you for that flight if it's a no go. .... I don't know your economic situation. or you a backpacker or monger.

I have a flight trough doha qatar on 19 of march , i bought a new ticket already air china

Just wait.

Do not cancel flight, wait 48hrs till the day of flight, cancelations are not in your favor if you do this on your own. The reason is the inflation of the flight will more than your original ticket.

They might be busy

All airspace is closed in the area and will be for quite a while.

Continue to check your booking through the Manage Booking part of qatar's website.

Whether your flight is cancelled depends on IF they can fly then. They would be overwhelmed now with stranded people.

Or if you booked through a travel agent, see if they can move you to a airline partner.

March 16? Who can know what will be then, are you joking?

Next time fly United.

Change your flight online if you can...

You can alter or cancel a flight by going into Manage my booking. Qatar are part of One World so you may be able to change airline and route, maybe look at Malaysia as they are also part of that group, you could go easily to Malaysia from Thailand ...

Once they have your money , they laugh in your face.Same as when the pandemic hit

Why are you calling? What do you want them to say? Predict the future? Wait about 10 days and see what happens.

Airports operating now

Yeah, theyre kinda busy right now.

Why are you preventing someone flying tomorrow from getting through?

Cancel the flight ding bat

I doubt they could tell you what would be happening in 2 weeks

And? In 2 weeks time, enjoy your flight, Qatar are one of the best in all classes.

You won't be flying anywhere near Doha unfortunately, possibly a new flight will be arranged

your not flying through Doha anytime this month, but you have plenty of time to reroute via the internet

What is even the question here???

Fly East not West and you may make it.

Use your intelligence 🙄

Are you not watching the news 🤷🏼‍♂️

Bull

Finnair cansel all flights to there end of March. Just saying

change Airlines to Delta they fly to south Korea

Um yea….there is war going on!

Tell work that you will be late coming back. Nothing you can do. You can’t get a flight out 😉just have to wait it out. And you have proof here that you tried. I’m joking. Good luck

There's a pretty good chance that you arent going to fly via the middle east, even if the chaos stops tomorrow (which is unlikely - look at any of the last three "quick" wars, and each of them went on for years... Or is still going on for years)

There are reportedly over 1 million people in the middle east trying to get out: people caught in transit, people on holiday or visiting there, residents and diplomats being sent home, and cruise passengers.

What flights there are repatriation flights. They arent moving more people into the hubs to make the problem worse.

Try their Facebook DM. When airlines are this busy, they will try to answer DM. Make sure you provide a complete question. They won’t really know if they will be flying next week but perhaps you want to know if they can move you to another carrier? Make sure you add that

Relax,i have to flight to Amsterdam via Emirates on 14th March from KUL.At this moment just wait for any update.

I bought another ticket from another airline. I don’t believe the flights will be restored any time soon.

If a Tomahawk Cruise Missiles was flying past my window,i would put you on hold too.

I'll be going back to Thailand in April. FORTUNATELY I hadn't booked a ticket until Staturday. I usually buy a ticket for a stopping connection over Bahrain or Doha or Abu Dhabi or Jeddah. I invested a few extra bucks to get me a nonstop flight.

You are from America ... USA ? Ask Your president what he plans ...

They are slammed. Wait

This is the end of the world as we know it……

The offices are closed at the moment I believe. People are working from home. I'm not sure how the staffs are being managed but at this moment the country is closed, including the airport, and everybody is asked to remain under shelter. I hope that helps understand the situation here!

Always fly through Asia if you can, any carrier. The service is better.

I must fly on next monday to BKK stop in Doha but i dont think gonna happen, let see if u get a refund at least

So you fly in almost 2 weeks but call now. What a do you expect? I live in the Middle East, while we’re not running around like headless chickens we have no idea what tomorrow will bring. You travelling in 2 weeks are not a priority, your part of the problem!

Go to their office in Bangkok. I tried to call them when I had a flight back to Prague while Covid, and the Czech Republic did not allow Germans to enter the country. I tried to call them a half day, but the next day I took a bus to Bangkok. There were 3 or 4 ladies at the office who had to handle all the calls and the customers at the counter as well.

It's a redirected flight to the conscription office 🤣🤣

Best start looking at cross Pacific flights. An American friend had to book new flights to Seattle (through Tokyo) when COVID hit.

I would cancel your tix and fly another airline. Maybe through KL or Seoul.

Uhhhh, there’s a war going on

Nobody can give you a clear answer so even if you call der can confirm your flight but if it for the escalade will be different again. Don't call wait 2 day's before

Booking Allahu Akbar Airlines saved you 5 Bucks - Great! 👍

Thats why i always go none stop now

16th!!!! Don't jam up the phone line for the 16th!!

@steven kureji

Just sit tight and wait until it updates

I had a flight on Sunday 1st march through Dubai

Saturday night hours before my flight, I still managed to get a back up flight booked 1 way via Istanbul.

Don’t worry, Don’t panic, relax 😎. There are plenty of options available as a last resort.

You are far far far away from a last resort need.

In fact you shouldn’t even be thinking about it yet.

Think about it only when you have 48 hours to your flight, then you will know if you need do something or not.

For now- do nothing, don’t call, don’t bother anyone.

All gulf airlines showing no update on website as if nothing happens

There are updates on their website. Last I checked they are rebooking or refunding up to March 10. My recommendation: book a new refundable flight now if you have the need and means. Prices will only go up. By the time 16 gets here either QA will have canceled and refunded, or you can refund your new ticket.

Re route to Japan or Korea.

Seems best to phone Netanyahu. Even Trump seems to be taking his orders from him.

Enough time until then. Check the app to see if there is any news. From 48 hours before it is interesting. I should also on 16.3. Fly with Etihad. If not, I'll extend my stay and enjoy the time. 😃

You and thousands of others calling.

Wait a couple weeks

Won’t happen

If worse comes to worse. You’ll still get home ok, it’ll just cost you more money

Taken from Qatar app

Jeez give it time! The Ayatollah's head is still in the air!

They will contact you

They are probably extremely busy, not to mention hiding in basements when missiles are flying towards them. ✈️

Don’t be annoying them at lunch time 🕰️

Do yourself a favor and start looking into alternative flights that pass over asia and the west coast. Quayar airlines will likely issue refunds on canceled flights, but when is another issue altogether

Change the flight online if your worried

It's because I keep thinking, "What a great idea I had to take a direct flight!" Cheap is expensive!!

You might want to change your flight

Says thanks to your leader

You cancel ? Not smart maybe not get money back if you cancel by yourself

Best thing to do is download their app. You will receive notices and updates as they happen in regards to your flight. Otherwise, do not worry.

Do you have changeable ticket

Forget your holiday

You still have time, give it a few days

Contact them online. Manage my booking. Look at your ticket online. Fill in your adress phone nos ,email. If its cancelled, you wont be warned until 2 days before departure !!! Maybe only 1 day before. They have to gindre you a new flight then.Find the nearest office.

They are busy as fck at the moment, im flying 12th, the advise is to call 48 hours before departing...

Go to Website, they will inform You 1. A Day between 6-9 am

Yeah and i fly them the 21st. WAY TOO EARLY to worry about it now.

Go via Australia. You'll be all good

Their phone line has done this for years already, nothing to do with current politics. Try their website or mobile app.

Change your booking

Yeah... The office got blown up. Duh.

Too soon. They are working on tomorrow. Wait until at least the 12th

Check the airline website. There is a whole world of internet out there outside of FB.

Ask your Tangerine Turnip.

All part of MAGA.

A lot happening on the moment. Not sure if you’re aware 😅

That why I fly ANA and bypass all that mess over there in that side of the hemisphere.

If they can predict when those airports will be open again can you also ask if they have next Fridays euro millions numbers.

News shows people stuck at airport sleeping on floor

Thank trump

Not sure what the airline can help you with, as they don't know more about March 16 then you

I just got through to them and asked about you. They said don't worry just keep holding you are third in the queue. Some people have no patience.

Phone Mr Trump and ask for a cease fire on 16th am sure he will accommodate

Really, so if 5000 people called your phone at same time you will answer immediately.

Ring Trump

The poster is so concerned that they haven't bothered to read the answers you shared. As long as we continue to respond to these types of posts....

Hang in there

2 weeks away.

U will be told airways space is closed till the next 24 hours continues till this mater is over sir

Americans grounded because of the orange war monger at play 😭

Thats 2 weeks seat, chill worst case you stay in Thailand

Turn,on the news, any TV station. You’re welcome

My flight is on April 1 via Seoul. I did not call anybody

Wow! How stupid and self centred are you?

I was supposed to lie last night from Hong Kong to London. It was cancelled obviously. They have got me on another flight on Thursday but I’m not optimistic that it will be cleared up by then. The reason I’m telling you this is because I did call them and I got a very nice helpful person at a call centre although it was quite difficult to understand him as the line wasn’t great.. but he organised everything for me. I think you need to wait till closer to the time and see what the situation is….

Immigration has said they will work with people if their flights get cancelled etc. don’t stress with 2 weeks to go.

Came on... Push trump do ending faster and came back to normality

As unsettling as it is for you, that is 13 days away. This is a very fluid situation; no one knows what tomorrow will bring. Qatar will contact you. Right now, they are helping those who have flights in the very immediate future. Don’t waste your time trying to call and jam the system.

I’m flying this Saturday to Conakry via Dubai, hoping it carries on longer as company is paying for me😂

Tell them you want to re-route to Tokyo. They will help you

2 wks away ffs, u could be dead by then .. enjoy your holidays and hopefully the foreskin chewers and pisrael are gone by then lol. ..

Mine was for tomorrow with etihad layover in Abu Dhabi, on hold 2.5 hours but got a full refund.

They will email if any changes

Extend your holiday in Thailand until this has finished.

nah just dont like fascists🍊

Maybe they don't know it is YOU who is calling? Maybe send them a letter to let them know you are calling?

Hopefully the flights might be cancelled until after Songkran.

Always a silver lining!

The Call centre got hit.

Try rerouting your flight to the east. It’s is usually cheaper and faster. I use EVA Air or Starlux. Just a suggestion.

There is a Qatar office in the airport, not easy to find

Call your congressman.

Yeah…. There’s a war going on with literal bombs dropping on their airport… but I’m sure it’s their number one priority

As it stands right now there is no flight. But keep checking as its changing daily but calling them expecting them to pick up and give you an answer is well just typically American that you think the world revolves around you.
