If you fail to provide the correct document, Qatar Airways will charge you the applicable LI tax.”
I double checked that under passenger information everything is correct and my nationality is indeed Finnish. Is this another glitch or should I contact QR? I have no idea where they figured out I’m an OFW as I have never even been to the Filippines. The initiary is HEL-DOH-CGK-DOH-OSL.
Update: this only seems to pop up in the app, can't find anything on the website.
I noticed this yesterday in the app as well so I called as I am travelling on Thursday and didnt want any issues at check-in. Agent didn't seem to know anything about it but checked with supervisor and said it was a technical error as it only applies to departures from the Philippines therefore I should not worry.
