Stopovers

Authorities have placed a temporary hold on stopover services in Doha for the purpose of connection, booked through Qatar Airways’ partner and subsidiary, Discover Qatar, or booked directly through qatarairways.com.

Passengers with onward connections will not be permitted to leave Hamad International Airport (HIA).

All current stopover bookings will, therefore, be canceled. A full refund will be offered, with support offered to make alternative travel plans with Qatar Airways.
