What should I do about my upcoming flight with Qatar Airways amidst the unrest in the Middle East?

WAIT

3 weeks OMG, just sit back and chill. Come back again when you’re leaving in 3 days 😜

They have just announced they are giving Up to 14 day exchange date of full refund.

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.

1. Wait until the day before.

2. Pack your bag.

3. Make sure you have your ticket and passport.

On the day

4. Travel to the airport and check-in for your flight.

Only the airline will answer your question if they are not flying then you could book a route via Hong Kong if things get desparete, keep an eye on airline bulletins

Ahh how about contact the airline ?

Nothing! The airline will contact you.

Contact the airline for their advice.

Go from west to east to get there and reverse to come back, don’t go over the Arabic countries or nearby if you can avoid it.

You can only watch the situation or book a direct flight.

I’ve got similar problem supposed to leave next week.

Just found out that immigration will give you 7 days to leave the country so if things don’t change visit your IO 48 hours before your intended departure and request the 7 days having said that they may well make an announcement regarding those who cannot get flights home

If you want to be sure to leave get another flight via China. I have to return to Thailand next Tuesday without fail so unfortunately had to just pay out and booked in China eastern from.London to bkk via shanghai. Was the only way I could try and make sure i get back to Thailand next week.

My flight was next Tues but no idea if it will go,even if the airspace is open it could take a few weeks to get the operation running to schedule again. Will be chaos I think for a few weeks after airports even open

Ring your airline at Suvarnabhumi nearer the time, no one on here would know anymore than you do, google your airline Suvarnabhumi number and give them a ring a couple of days before your flight date.

I think you really have two questions: how can you get home, and how can you extend your visa here if you can’t (or easily get to another country if extension isn’t an option).

For getting home, contact the airline — who will probably tell you it’s too soon to have an answer — and check to see whether you can reschedule the flight to a later date, exchange it for a flight with one of their partners that’d route in a way that wouldn’t be impacted by the war, or just get a refund. Pushing back your flight date might be the easiest thing for them to do, and then you could probably go to immigration to extend your visa (if you haven’t already). Trying to book a different flight might be quite expensive as fuel costs surge.

If you don’t have the luxury of spending another 30 days in Thailand, start looking for other flight options now, so you’ll at least have a sense of what’s currently possible and what it might cost. See if any of the airlines are partners of Qatar Airlines, in which case maybe Qatar can help you at least get some credit for your existing ticket.

I think airlines like Qatar and Etihad were especially responsive during COVID, so the customer service infrastructure they built up for responding to massive disruptions should be pretty capable. They’ve also been dealing with conflict-related disruptions for years. This may be the biggest in quite a while, but they’ll still have a playbook for it.

Depending on which booking site you used, check to see if it’s still possible to get insurance for your flight. Some credit cards also have built-in insurance for travel purchases. That might add another layer of options, or make them more affordable.

Good luck!

why don't you use your fuckin peanut brain and phone up Qatar Airways to find out the situation ...

Nothing

Wait & see

Book a direct flight . Call the airline get a refund

Uhhhh.... I think you need to speak to Qatar airlines. Not the Einsteins on FB.

Fly via USA

There is nothing you can do your lucky my brother is in Dubai for the last two nights they have had drones and missiles flying over there apartment building ! Several hotels have been hit this could go on for weeks or even months Qatar will give you a rain check if you can’t fly that’s what happened during Covid !!!

I think you'll find that Donald Trump doesn't read this page. Anybody's guess.

Call your Embassy or do you want someone to hold your hand.

Ring the airline

If purchased ticket from Qatar ,go to their office to reschedule your flight ,if trough an agent,speak with them.

If the sky Is still closed in 3 weeks. We shall have much bigger problems!

Don't you cancel your flight, let the airline do it or you won't get compensation..

Start walking. 55

Start walking now.

What an utterly stupid question.

Your airline should be in touch

Key is temporarily…so sit tight. 3weeks still. I leave usa for doh bkk 21st. Same situation

I go tomorrow and don’t no what to do apart from turn up at the airport

Probably gonna be best to book direct flights or through safe countries india sri lanka china while this is going on. Your airline should let you change for s full refund

Oh an Englishman Alluh Akbhar good sir

If your flight refundable -you can cancel it and buy new flight

Ask the airline, but it might be a bit early to ask, the Don said all over in 4 days.

How many Days do you have remaining on your current Entry Stamp??

What is your Until End Date of your Current Entry Stamp??

Did you make Entry into Thailand again on a Free Visa Exempt Stamp ( ผ.60–ม.17 ) or did you obtain and have a Tourist E–Visa PDF File from the Thai Embassy in London ( Entry Stamp denotes: TR–60 ) and, if so, then was it a Single Entry Tourist E–Visa (SETV) or Multiple Entry Tourist E–Visa (METV) from the Thai Embassy in London??

Watch the news

Nothing yet!

Wait but I can say our experience with Qatar through Covid was exceptional..they could not have done more to assist.

When in doubt do nothing

You lucky, you can stay longer in Thailand, your airline will you refund….if .you not flying with cheap Charley airline

Keep in contact with your airline.No one knows when this will end.As you know all airspace is closed in these middle east countries affected by the war.All flights are cancelled .So ive no idea if it will be safe to fly on the 19th or not.

Ask Trumpy for a hall pass.

Ask Trump

Wait and see

Today Monday 9am Doha time Qatar Airways is going to give an update - I fly March 9 out of Bangkok back to the U.S. for now flight is still a go just waiting for there update in a few hours. I have plan B on standby. Hope everyone gets home safely

This is a visa advice page not a travel agency 🙄call your airline

3 weeks is a lifetime away

Wait and see

Due to the fact that seven airports are CLOSED right now, and FOUR of those are MAJOR hub airports, we hope that things will improve. Oligarchs losing money and not able to fly their freight and passengers might be the tipping point to a pull back.

Call you airline, no one here has accurate information

Things could be resolved in days or weeks. Flights are suspended until 15:00 today

I don’t think anyone here is in a position to suggest what the situation will be like in three weeks. This is a very fluid situation. While unsettling, three weeks is too far away. I hope you booked your tickets with the airline directly rather than a third party.

Wait and see

I’m due to fly on the 19th, it’s too early to worry about it now, the airport may be back open by then, if not then I suppose it’s cancel your flight, hopefully get a refund and rebook a flight that avoids that area

Check with your airline on updates
