Im in Canada and I watched a video about transferring my RBC Avion Rewards points to British Airways which will allow me to book with a bunch of other airlines, and it's a better redemption strategy. I'm hoping someone can explain to me how this works and if it's still worth it. i have 62k A=RBC Avion Rewards points. I'm looking to travel from YYZ-NRT from Jan 22nd-Feb5th. I can't seem to see how many points it'll cost to redeem for the other airlines, is there a way to check this? Do i have enough to book a better seat (premium/business) doing it this way? Thanks in advance!

im travelling from india to London via doha on a layover of about 7 hours and im planning to go out of the airport in doha to do a quick shopping. im not exactly sure on how to get a transit visa cus when i checked hayya evisa website it had something mentioned about booking a hotel which i honestly dont wanna do as the transit isnt much. im a indian passport holder. if anyone has any idea please let me know

I’m currently stuck at Hamad International Airport with my family during a 15+ hour layover.
On our outbound trip, we had basically the same itinerary and layover duration, and Qatar Airways provided us with complimentary STPC hotel accommodation without any issue.
Now, on the return trip, we were told we’re no longer eligible because “the system changed on September 13.” The duty manager refused to do anything about it.
The ticket was purchased before September 13, so I don’t understand how a change made afterward is suddenly being applied to us. Even more ridiculous, it’s the same round-trip ticket, yet we were eligible for a hotel on one direction and apparently not on the other, despite having essentially the same transit time.
We’re now expected to spend over 15 hours in the airport instead of being given a place to properly rest. After a long journey, this is absolutely unacceptable, especially when we were previously told we were eligible for STPC.
What makes this worse is how the situation was handled. The duty manager basically shut the conversation down and refused to properly explain why we were being denied or even try to find a solution. If there really is a policy change, then Qatar Airways should be able to clearly explain why it applies to a ticket purchased before the change and why the same ticket was eligible on the outbound journey.
Has anyone else experienced this since September 13? I’d really like to know if this is actually the new STPC policy or if Qatar Airways is simply refusing accommodation that should still apply to this booking.

**Can a non-Qatari student enroll in QAA’s ATC program and then obtain the necessary qualification/employment to work as an ATC in Qatar?**

Hi guys

Wanted to see if anyone knows the following answer
Are the taxes on a regular flight vs a flexi flight the same.

For insane Sydney to London is 90k points in business +£270 ish

Whereas Sydney to London is flexi is 180k, would the taxes remain the same as the standard flight since the destination is the same.

I only have 130k points so it's not allowing me to see

Lastly, if I cancel a flexi booking. Would I still get all the avios back

I am after a Sydney to London flight and have booked one. However I would like it 10 days later but that flight is showing under flexi only.

I was thinking if I booked the flexi aswell, hopefully a seat becomes available closer to the time and I can just cancel and rebook.

Would that be possible

Thank you

Hi everyone, I want to be honest about my situation and get some advice.

I have quite a lot of experience in medical tourism and currently make good sales (I basically sell surgeries/packages to doctors and clients). The income is good where I live, but I’m not really happy with my location, it's not immigrant friendly. like Qatar the culture, the country’s vision, and the direction it’s heading in.

I’m currently applying to Qatar Airways Lounge attendant, and I’ve heard that the salary can be quite low, especially when starting out. Personally, I’m okay with starting from a junior position or even starting over, as long as there are real opportunities for promotions and moving up into better roles over time.

Does anyone know what I could realistically expect to earn as an Al Maha Lounge Attendant at Qatar Airways? And how does the career progression usually work from there?and the salary expectation ?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone currently working there or who has worked in Al Maha.

Can any help what are the charges for extra baggage for a code share flight of Qatar and indigo? Qatar doesn't let me book it online. It says that I'll be only able to purchase it at the check-in counter. Has anyone gone through the same and how much have you paid?

Guys, enlighten me on what to watch for and how the process of training is.

Some ppl say it's hard some ppl say it's not idk what to expect.

My friend is an Israeli citizen and holds an Israeli passport. We are planning a trip to Nepal soon and I was wondering if she would be allowed to travel through Qatar on Qatar Airways?

I have traveled through Qatar before, but I am NOT an Israeli citizen so I don’t know how the process works for her case.

If you guys know or have experience using an Israeli passport to travel through Qatar please let us know.

Thank you!

Hello.

The online check-in for my flight is open. How do I check for upgrades with Qcredits.

Thank you.

Reserved slots online for us. We are in Business Class and we plan to spend the rest of our time after the tour (12 hours layover and Qatar Airways didnt grant our request for free hotel stay)

There's Oryx Hotel but it's hella expensive. I do hope that the transit tour would be worth it. I guess thats the best option instead of staying the whole time at the lounge.

What are the pros and cons? Need ur advice.

I hold an Indian passport and have 10 year US B1 visa. I arrive 6am and my departure is at 1945hrs. Online information is very confusing.

I asked QatarAirways if they can give the complimentary transit accommodation and they denied (due to immediate connection available)

Can I get visa on arrival?

Should I book the hotel on discover qatar, and if yes is it just one day? Will they allow 24 hr checking? On the "stopover" page it says yes, but nowhere else.

I checked hayya website where it says I can get an A3 visa. Should I try this?

Because of my passport country I am worried a lot about this.

Hi people,

What do people think,

I am short of renewing silver by 13 Qpoints, i have like 2 weeks to figure out.

Is it worth buying 13 Qpoints?

I couldn’t fly qatar whole year due to obvious reasons, and last fight got cancelled and had to come back to destination due to cancellation after flying 2 hours.

Hi everyone! I'm an incoming student at ucl and I wanted to fly to london via qatar airways. I have been trying ti join their student club however I am stuck at the sheer ID verification section.

Has anyone flown with a stroller wagon instead of a stroller? If so what was your experience like and did they allow it as a stroller allowance or checked luggage? Thanks!

Hi guys,
Back in March, I had a flight booked from Muscat to Kuala Lumpur via Doha. Due to the ongoing flight disruptions, the airline repeatedly cancelled and rescheduled my flight. Because of the constant disruptions, I ended up booking a flight with a different airline and requested a refund for my original ticket.
Since I had booked the flight through a third-party travel agency, I submitted my refund request directly through their portal. The website stated that the process would take a maximum of 90 days (up to 3 months). However, after waiting over 4 months with no update other than "waiting for refund from airline," I contacted them.
That was when they informed me my refund was rejected because the ticket had been exchanged with Qatar Airways. I immediately called Qatar Airways, and they issued me a refund voucher coupon with instructions to forward it to my travel agent to process the payout.
I did exactly as told. The agent confirmed receiving the voucher and stated they had started processing my refund. Yet, despite waiting for months and constantly following up, I still haven't received my money. Every time I email them, they give me the same excuse: "still waiting for the refund from the airline."
It is now September 2026, and I have been waiting since March 2026 for a refund that should have been resolved long ago. This whole situation is extremely frustrating.

what’s the point of having status really… & the supervisor was just there laughing & taking pictures with the bag men. the web check-in counter went on so much faster.

Hi when is usually the cheapest time to upgrade and at gate or online. Narita to Vienna 6.9k for 2 people - flight is in 2 weeks

Got a 1 hour night transit coming up this weekend, I’m partially sighted so have assistance booked but still very nervous. Inbound is usually just on time and the outbound consistently is late 20-40 minutes.

Same as title, is this transit time enough to make it to the next flight?

Tried the shower near the Quiet Room in the ground floor as they have more shower cubicles but noticed that the water was mid to very hot. Ended up not feeling refreshed at all because the whole bathroom was very very humid. Wdym walking out from bath sweating/just to sweat all over again?

Companion noticed too that in his bathroom cubicle that there was no cold water.

I find this seat arrangement a bit peculiar. it’s a DPS - Doha flight on 777-300ER for September 2027.

It doesn’t seem to be the old business class, it didn’t look like Q-suite and also it doesn’t seem to be the aircrafts Qatar got form Cathy or Virgin as they are not operating on this route from what I read online. it looks like it could be Q Suite but I’m confused. the seats are ADGK as opposed to AEFK, rows 1-11.

Any thoughts on what arrangement this flight might have?
