Since Qatar Airways is a non-EU airline, you are eligible for Qatar Airways flight compensation if your Qatar Airways flight departed from the United Kingdom or Europe. 

Unfortunately, your passenger’s rights are not protected under British and European flight compensation regulations if you are flying to the UK/EU with Qatar Airways.

Depending on the reasons and circumstances behind your Qatar Airways flight cancellation, you may be entitled to compensation of up to €600, a ticket refund, or both.

When can I claim a refund for my cancelled Qatar Airways flight?

• The airline did offer you an alternative flight, but you declined the offer.

Am I eligible for Qatar Airways flight cancellation compensation?

If your cancelled Qatar Airways flight was leaving from the United Kingdom or the EU, you may be eligible for compensation.

Additionally, the following are the two criteria you must meet to claim compensation for a cancelled Qatar Airways flight:

• Your Qatar Airways flight was cancelled fewer than 14 days before the original departure date

Can I get flight compensation if I cancel my Qatar Airways flight?

Passengers should be aware that cancelling a Qatar Airways flight as a passenger does not ensure automatic entitlement to compensation or refunds. Qatar Airways follows a cancellation policy that generally permits cancellations within 24 hours of booking, allowing passengers to be eligible for a refund. Nevertheless, cancelling beyond this timeframe may lead to the possibility of not receiving a refund. To obtain precise information regarding potential compensation options for flight cancellations, passengers are advised to refer to Qatar Airways' specific policies.

Can I get flight compensation if I missed a connecting flight due to Qatar Airways delay and cancellation?

If you experience a flight cancellation or flight delay of a Qatar Airways flight, resulting in a missed connecting flight when both flights were booked together, you may be eligible for Qatar Airways delay compensation and/or a refund for the entire trip, subject to specific criteria. It is recommended to refer to Qatar Airways' guidelines for comprehensive information regarding eligibility and potential Qatar Airways flight delay compensation in such situations.

Extraordinary circumstances — can Qatar Airways deny me compensation? 

Qatar Airways reserves the right to refuse compensation when a third party or force majeure causes a delay or cancellation. These situations are referred to as extraordinary circumstances.

Some of the most common extraordinary circumstances that allow Qatar Airways to deny your claim are:

• Bad weather conditions, such as thick fog and thunderstorms.
• A strike caused by workers within the aviation industry but not related to the airline (e.g. baggage handlers). However, keep in mind that a Qatar Airways strike caused by workers associated with the airline (e.g. pilots, flight attendants) is NOT considered an extraordinary circumstance!
• Political circumstances (e.g. terrorist attack, general security risk due to political unrest)
• Natural disasters, including wildfires and floods

Keep in mind, however, that airlines might claim that an extraordinary circumstance occurred, even if this was not the case. They do so in hope they can avoid having to pay you compensation.

Don't be taken in by the airline's false arguments. Check online to see if you qualify for flight compensation.
