QR556 = Possibly, but there have been mixed reports.
QR943 = No Pjamas.
QR5 = No Pjamas.
Does anyone know QR's policy on refunds and/or changes based on schedule changes?
My AMS-DOH-BKK ticket has just been changed, so instead of a 3hr layover in DOH I now have 55mins. The big issue is I was supposed to be meeting a client during that layover, and now I can't.
Will this be enough for them to waive the €300 (or whatever it is) cancellation fee on the ticket if I choose to cancel and rebook on a slightly different routing?

I appreciate 55mins is a short connecting time at most airports, but MCT at DOH is 35mins, so you've got plenty of time. As such, QR will likely charge you the change fee.
With regards to your meeting, QR are unlikely to be sympathetic.

QR will not refund you based on such a small change, however, depending on your ticket type, you may be able to make a change. There are quite a few flights daily to BKK, but I presume you are on the 01:55 flight to BKK - in which case the next one is the following morning.

For comparison, BA have changed/cancelled flights for me on schedule changes considerably smaller than this one.

Hi Everyone,
I am looking at flying Doha-Baku-London with two separate tickets.
Doha-Baku on QR
Baku-London on BA
I do not need to leave the airport in GYD just transfer, will the staff in DOH be able to check my bag all the way through to London?
If not, does anyone know if there is a transfer desk at GYD that could re-tag my bags? I do this all the time via BAH and the staff there are exceptional but I have never been to Baku before.
Should the answer be no to all the above, does anyone know how long it takes to get a transit visa issued at the Embassy in Doha? I am hoping to fly Friday and can go to the Azerbaijan embassy on Sunday morning if that is enough time.
Thanks,
usuallydowntheback

I'm on the 02:15 to BKK. I wouldn't call a 2hr change to departure time a "small change". But thanks for the advice, I figured they'd likely not be too sympathetic. This is the biggest concern for me when deciding whether to stick with BA or move to QR for mileage accrual; GCC carriers I have always found to have no 'wriggle room' on issues like this.
For comparison, BA have changed/cancelled flights for me on schedule changes considerably smaller than this one.

Which flight have they changed (the ams-doh or doh-bkk). We are doing AMS-DOH-BKK in a couple of weeks, and nothing is showing as changed on our itinerary. We still arrive in DOH (from AMS) at 23:15 and leaving again at 01:55. So just wondered when you were flying and which they had changed?
Cheers

I'm looking for First Class award tickets on Qatar Airways DOH-LHR. At the moment I can only find seats on the A330. Do Qatar release F award seats closer upon departure or am I completely out of luck?
Also is there any possibility for a 3rd daily A380 frequency to London? In that case should I book the A330 and hope for it to be upgraded to an A380 in July?

I have had that problem before - flight turned out completely full and the reserved seat was indeed lost. Might be worth to ask again at the gate though.

Was there an aircraft swap? Had you checked Manage My Booking on the QR website at all prior to OLCI?
