Will I get my money back for the flight?
If the ticket you bought is refundable, you will receive the money back.
The cancellation charges, if you incur any, will be deducted from your refund.
Cancellation charges are applied to cover the transaction costs and to compensate the airline if they fail to resell your place.
If the fare you bought is non-refundable (such as Economy Lite), then you will not receive any money back, though you may be eligible for a refund on unutilised government taxes.
If you cancel within 24 hours of booking (and your flight is at least 7 days away), you are typically eligible for a full refund with no cancellation fee under the airline’s “24-Hour Risk-Free” policy.
How much does it cost to change a Qatar Airways flight?
The cost to change a Qatar Airways flight depends heavily on the type of fare class you bought and your Privilege Club status.
A fixed change fee will be applied to process the transaction, though this may be waived depending on your ticket.
Recent policy updates have introduced a low USD $25 change fee for changes made online for some fares.
However, for basic Economy Lite tickets, the fixed change fee can still be higher, ranging from USD $100 to USD $125.
Platinum and Gold members are often exempt from change fees when modifying their flight more than 24 hours before departure.
If the new flight you choose costs more than the one you had, you must pay the difference to even the amount up.
You cannot choose a ticket that will cost less than the one you have now. If you do, you will not be refunded the difference in fare.
