Qatar Airways has perfectly learned one of the most important lessons generated by the last year and a half. Covid has brought the tourism industry to its knees, leading to numerous cancellations, lockouts and restrictions of various kinds. In this scenario, it is crucial to be able to show flexibility to the public.
Attempting to limit economic losses to the detriment of travelers is never a winning idea. Indeed, there has been no shortage of controversy against a variety of carriers, in Europe and around the world. This is also why the choice of Qatar to extend its "Flexibility Policy" makes headlines. A hand outstretched to users in a transitional period when we are not yet able to enjoy our leisure time as much as before.
Flexible tickets with Qatar Airways
Qatar Airways' "Flexibility Policy" a great success., which frees up passengers by allowing them to book an airline ticket for their vacation with fewer worries. The possibility that the internal regulations of a given country will change depending on the data of contagions cannot be ruled out. As a result, one still runs the risk of not leaving or actually having to change one's itinerary.
The carrier is well aware of this and has decided to take action, extending its offer, which now includes all the tickets purchased until August 31, 2021, for trips to be made up to the May 31, 2022. Thus, one has the chance to change one's destination (with possible surcharges), obtaining a ticket valid for two years. This allows one to rearrange at leisure, at the same time, in a month or more. Added to this are other crucial elements of the company's internal policy:
- Unlimited ticket changes (with possible surcharges)
- refund without penalty
Feeling safe when clicking on the buy button is critical today when it comes to travel. We are shrouded in a general sense of uncertainty, which prompted Qatar Airways to issue this official statement, "We understand your need to feel secure so you can travel with peace of mind during this period. That's why we are extending the validity of our 'flexibility policy,' applicable to all tickets issued until August 31, 2021, for travel until May 31, 2022. We will continue to offer you the highest standards of hygiene and safety, bringing one of the most environmentally sustainable fleets into the air, for your peace of mind and the well-being of the planet."
