Compensation eligibility varies based on several factors—was the cancellation within the airline’s control? Were you informed less than 14 days before departure? If so, you may qualify for cash reimbursement or future travel credit. In some cases, Qatar Airlines offers meal vouchers or lounge access, but these must be requested over the phone. Speaking directly to an agent ensures you receive what you're owed.
Phone support is especially helpful when your travel involves connections or international segments, as compensation rules differ depending on the country of origin. An agent will assess your itinerary and determine what you’re entitled to. They’ll also initiate the refund or compensation claim, which can take several days to process. This is the most reliable way to make sure you’re compensated properly.
