Funny one qr think i am a Filipino worker

Just opened my booking on QR android app and found out this warning:

As you have completed this booking as an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW), you will need to provide an official document that allows exemption from the International Passenger Service Charge (LI Tax) during check-in. If you fail to provide the correct document, Qatar Airways will charge you the applicable LI tax.

Actually i m french with french passport, so weird.
Qatar Airways it at its best!!

Hello from QR707! I actually saw the same message in the iOS app but not on desktop this week and since I was flying in a couple days called QR to make sure there would be no issues. They said it was a technical problem and should only apply to Philippines departures.

There were some other people who got the same error message, it should be a technical glitch. Simply ignore it.

Same happening for me on the web manage booking interface. Thanks for this thread - reassuring to know it’s a widespread issue and not some problem with my uncomplicated LHR-JNB cash booking.
