How to cancel a Qatar Airways flight?

2. Qatar Airways Mobile App allows you to cancel your flight and manage booking details.
3. Customer Service: You can also contact Fond Travels customer service at +1 (323) 800 6001 to cancel your booking.

Cancellation Fees

Qatar Airways may apply a cancellation fee based on the fare type, route, and ticket class. These fees can vary significantly, especially for non-refundable flight tickets. Passengers must carefully review the fare rules when booking to understand potential cancellation charges.

Qatar Airways refund policy

To request a refund, you must contact Qatar Airways or use the Qatar Airways booking management system. The refund process usually takes 7-10 business days for credit card payments and 4-6 weeks for other forms of payment. Refunds will be credited back to the original payment method unless the refund was requested due to an airline issue (such as a flight cancellation).

Refundable and Non-Refundable Tickets

Qatar Airways offers both refundable and non-refundable tickets. The refund process and fees depend on the type of ticket you purchased. Refundable flight tickets are eligible for a full or partial refund, depending on the terms and conditions of the fare. Non-refundable tickets may not be eligible for a refund, but you may still be able to receive a voucher or credit for future travel under certain circumstances.

Change your flight

If you cannot make your flight but do not want to cancel completely, you can opt to change your flight instead. Qatar Airways allows passengers to make changes to their flight dates, times, and even destinations (subject to availability and fare rules). Changes may incur additional fees, depending on the ticket type and route.
