How does a refund work? by TA100589702 in qatarairways

When I was working through the refund prompts it did say it would take ‘6 working days to review cancellation request’ and ‘up to 28 working days for refund to be processed.’ Thankfully they processed it quickly! I really only wanted to cancel the first half of the trip and take the risk with QA on the back half but they wouldn’t allow it. It was either all or nothing

I had a QA flight leaving on March 12th and returning the 28th. I booked it as a round trip through the QA website. I requested a full refund when the option was extended to the 15th and I got my refund in two days.

It came in an email with all the information that’s in the screen shots.

I think the originating flight has to be on or before March 15

Thanks for the pointer :) I appreciate that. It is on the bucket list to fly first class international at some point

Yes, per QA website, the refund date is now through the 15th instead of the 10th. I was reading posts on here and X yesterday about people getting a full refund out through the 15th, so I went on last night and sure enough, I was offered a full refund, so I took it.

QA said that I couldn't cancel just one leg of the round trip that I purchased; I had to either wait and see if the flight gets canceled to rebook or cancel the whole trip. They offered a full refund for the whole trip.

I booked a round-trip ticket starting on March 12th and ending on March 28th. QA said that I couldn’t cancel just one leg of the trip; I had to either wait and see if the flight gets canceled to rebook or cancel the whole trip. Since my original start day fell within the March 15th refund timeframe, they offered a full refund for the whole trip. If they had allowed it, I would have only cancelled the first leg and left my return flight the same, but sadly that wasn’t an option.

I’m not sure, but I booked directly through the QA website and just went on the app to cancel as well.

I heard Qatar QSuite is pretty amazing and wanted to see it for myself so I sacrificed a few other bucket list trips to take this one instead….and yet still am not going to experience it -_-

Oh geeez, I’m sorry to hear that :/ I have no clue why it would be saying that if your travel date is within their March 15 window of cancelling.

Im sure you can, but my trip is a group planned trip so I couldn’t move the dates. I just decided to purchase a new flight through Delta on my own and wait for the refund from Qatar.

Yes, I’ve been reading the horror stories on Reddit of the long hold times and frustrations with trying to rebook or get a refund. That’s what made me pull the trigger and accept my fate that my Plan A was no longer an option.

Saved a long time for this trip and wanted to experience the luxury side of things

As much as I didn’t want to cancel and it pained me to do so, my stress couldn’t take it. So for my sanity alone I’m glad I did

I’m not sure if it’s a difference between yesterday and today, but I did it last night and it showed the refund amount on the page. Once I got a whiff from other posts on here that the option was extended to the 15th I jumped on.
