⚠️ warning ⚠️
When booking with Qatar Airlines
Canceled the first part of my return flight
Bangkok - Doha
Changed the flight of the 2nd part of the flight Doha - Munich
I booked directly with the airline.
Sent me a mail (see below). I decided to ask for a refund received 55,04€ from Qatar airlines which is a fraction of what I paid.
I have sent e-mails (ignored) called the Helpdesk on 2 separate occasions and after spending a crazy amount of time on hold they could not explain why I received
so little but said it did seem unreasonable and they would look into it (it’s been well over 2 months).
I finally got an answer back from them via Facebook and they are refusing to give my full refund as promised in the e-mail below.
