Offical guidance from QR website as of mid July:
What Happened
On the 6th of June flights from Qatar to Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (and vice versa) were suspended.
This includes all Qatar flights between Doha and Abu Dhabi, Abha, Alexandria–Borg el Arab, Bahrain, Buraydah, Cairo, Dammam, Dubai–Al Maktoum, Dubai–International, Gassim, Hofuf, Jeddah, Luxor, Madinah, Ras Al Khaimah, Riyadh, Sharjah, Tabuk, Ta'if and Yanbu.
Adding to this at 00:00 (UTC) on the 6th of June restrictions were put in place limiting flights to Doha to one particular corridor through the airspace of Bahrain. This has since been relaxed to two specific corridors through Bahrain airspace with a second corridor up the Saudi Arabia the new addition.
All other flights to other Qatar Airways destinations including the Maldives are still operating although some have delays due to the extended time required to avoid restricted airspace.
There are a couple of routes that are having to make fuel stops in Athens or Muscat but this seems to be dependent on the type of aircraft as well.
Details on the Airspace can be found here - https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/f...ain-and-egypt/
What about my Flights to other destinations?
Flights to Europe, Asia, Pacific and Norte America are operating as per schedule with minimal delays. There is no need to contact QR regarding these services.
Flights between Doha and Souto America are facing delays due to longer times and/or need for a technical stop-over. Flights to GRU and EZE are 2hr to 5hrs longer.
Flight between Doha and Africa/Middle East have longer flights times due to the airspace restrictions. Some routes like Doha to Khartoum have felt the full force of the restrictions with the flight now taking 2hr 30 mins longer than normal.
Qatar has begun to re-time flights to ensure the network continues running smoothly. Changes have been since Monday 12 June 2017, so it is advised to check your flight status and times on the Qatar website.
What about my flight to a suspended destination?
If you are due to fly in the next few days, search for alternative routings and note them down.
24 hours before your scheduled departure time, contact your LOCAL QR office, and ask for their assistance. Advise them that you have found an alternative routing which you would be willing to accept and see if they will book it for you.
If you are due to fly more than 5 days from today, try and relax. Do not panic and please do not call QR as you are blocking the lines for those flying in the next 24 hours. At this stage, Qatar is only offering options to those who are traveling in the next 24 hours.
Currently, people in the thread have suggested that Qatar is rebooking on flights through Muscat, Kuwait, Amman, Istanbul, Mumbai, Beirut, Athens and Tunis.
You can only get a refund if your booking is to one of the destinations listed at the top! (The number of people asking QR on Twitter for a refund of other flights is amazing)
What about other airlines?
Most other carriers in and out of Doha are still operating except for Air Arabia, Air Arabia Egypt, Air Cairo, EgyptAir, Emirates, Etihad, FlyDubai, Rotana Jet and Saudia.
Most other carriers are using the new restricted routes into Doha although provided the aircraft is not registered in Qatar they are allowed to use the Saudi Arabia or Egypt Airspace.

Summary of key traveller experiences and feedback on this forum since Mid-June
- Policy statement (link) for the travel industry issued 15th June 2017
- Refund is always an option, but very varied experiences of how quickly the refund is processed, from a few days to "still waiting". Some experiences of passengers being pressurised into taking refunds when this is not necessary if you can wait.
- If you want to reroute from a closed destination to another middle east destination still served by QR, you might be able to do this as early as 30 days from 1st sector, although we have had reports of rerouting at 6 weeks out.
- Where QR have to reroute onto other carriers, long haul reroutes typically onto BA, CX and TK seem to be quoted most often. In the Gulf region ME, KU, WY are quoted most often. Although RJ is a OneWorld carrier and should be a parter for QR, they are not accepting QR rerouted tickets.
- Status of reservations for travel to affected destinations typically changes to "Unconfirmed" 7 days ahead of travel.
- If your booking was via a 3rd party or agent you probably can't get Qatar to change the ticket until 72 hours before the first sector. 3rd parties and agents seem to be offering refunds rather than rerouting, although there has been some success if you can show them the QR rebooking policy document.
- There has been a very mixed bag of reports of how QR are handling rebooking. Some people have no luck getting itineraries changed before 72 hours before departure, but others do. So some good advice is to always be polite but if you don't get what you want, then thank the agent for their time and HUACA (hang up and call again) - preferably after you have had a drink and have calmed down, and maybe calling a different office.

QR told you that? I called yesterday to see about rebooking a flight that is in about 2 weeks, and they had no problem with that. Are you flying to/from one of the cities with canceled flights? (I am.) Or just prefer not to fly QR anymore? I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Hello,
I'm so panicked, I have to travel from Paris to Phnom Penh with a step in Doha in 3 days with Qatar Airways, but given the actual political situation I'm not sure anymore to go. All these events could result in a war, and nobody knows how the political situation would be next month (the return is planned on the 4th of July). Is there anybody who had to fly during the same period with Qatar Airways and who is considering to cancel ? Would flying with Emirates Airlines be a good idea, while there's a stop in Dubai which is in the same area ?
Thanks !
(I'm sorry if my English is not always perfect, i'm French, and as you may know we're not the best english speakers in the world)

Based on the current event I'll skip DXB as stopover for good and use DOH and MCT as alternatives.

I had an inbound ticket still to fly in business/regional first from a DXB-DOH-HEL return booking on 30th June. I called yesterday from Dubai (+9712292229 if that helps anyone), took 10 minutes to get though. Was initially offered a refund but this isn't suitable since I am leaving UAE (cancelling visa) and closing the bank account that I had paid with. Then I was offered a reroute DXB-IST-HEL on Turkish Airlines but I asked if it would be possible to get a OneWorld routing. I was then offered DXB-LHR-HEL ON BA, at which point I requested to end my journey in LHR (foregoing my separate repositioning booking HEL-LHR). This was accommodated on BA in Club World. Arguably a lesser business class product but I'm happy with the shorter journey time (and wasted HEL-LHR sector on Finnair) and fewer possibilities of it all going wrong in terms of misconnects. I feel it could have been worse as I had no flexibility on departure and arrival dates. Didn't fancy playing chicken until later in the month and hoping it all gets resolved by the respective powers in charge!

Vincewy : I'm not trying to say what country is the right one and what country is the wrong one, I just want to arrive in Phnom Penh safely without being too late. 
Thanks Reds2011 for your answer, but I still think that I'm going to change my tickets for Emirates' one... My QR tickets are non-refundable and I will lose 200€ but doesn't matter

Yes that's definitely the new policy. I have already been to the Cairo office at the airport but they do have another office in Cairo I might try over the weekend. I think it's ridiculous you have to now wait only 72 hours out as surely all the business class seats will be gone.

I have a few weeks, so not moving to make changes just yet, but would appreciate advice/thoughts.
Situation:
On 2 July I'm flying the return leg (PHL-DOH-CAI) of a R/T I started in Jan. I've then booked a new R/T HBE-DOH-HND for 4 July, returning 12 July, and then a new CAI-DOH-PHL R/T for 15 July with the return in Nov.
Given the current situation, I'd like to change the destination of the 2 July flight to somewhere other than CAI, and also start/end the HND trip from somewhere other than HBE. I'm currently thinking TUN as the alternate destination. Based on other reported destination/origination changes, is this something QR may be likely to allow, or would I need to change to somewhere closer, say, AMM? Or will QR still try to get me to/from CAI and HBE just on another carrier for those legs? Thanks!

Deep breath. Repeat.
While nobody knows the future, I don't think you need to worry about war.
In fact, the actual reports from people flying are generally positive.
If I had to fly in the next few days, I would have no fears connecting in Doha. Relax and enjoy your flights.

Just keep an eye on the France Diplomatie Avis au Voyageurs for Qatar. If the advice from the French Government is that it is not safe to travel, at that point Qatar will probably be offering free rerouting and any travel insurance you have will probably pick up any additional costs to modify your journey.
Don't worry unnecessarily, what you will be seeing reported in the media probably bears little relation to what is happening in day to day life on the ground and in the hotels where I guess you will be staying. Bonne courage !

Spoke with QR again tonight. My flight is on June 17th in First. They advise the policy is to fly from CAI to Istanbul or another airport and then continue on to DOH-BKK. I pleased to fly me ex Athens and they refused. Its madness that they want to spend more money flying me CAI to Istanbul and then onwards rather than Athens-DOH-BKK.
I really wish they would change their policy. The agent was lovely and appreciated the crazy policy but what can they do. I guess I will try again tomorrow....
