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.
