Flight disruptions like delays, cancellations, and denied boarding are never pleasant — and even Qatar Airways isn’t immune. When your plans are unexpectedly ruined, you don’t have to settle for frustration. Under EU Regulation EC 261, passengers flying from the EU may be entitled to compensation — even on non-European airlines like Qatar Airways.
With FlyNero, claiming Qatar Airways flight delay or cancellation compensation is fast, simple, and risk-free.
About Qatar Airways
Qatar Airways is the national airline of Qatar, founded in 1993 and based in Doha. With a world-class reputation and a fleet of over 200 aircraft, it connects six continents via its hub at Hamad International Airport. Despite its non-EU status, Qatar Airways must comply with EC 261 rules when operating flights that depart from European airports.
Qatar Airways Flight Delay Compensation – When Are You Eligible?
You may be entitled to compensation if:
- Your flight arrived at your final destination more than 3 hours late
- The flight departed from an EU airport
- The delay wasn’t caused by extraordinary circumstances (e.g., severe weather or security issues)
- Qatar Airways didn’t offer a suitable alternative flight to avoid the delay
If these conditions are met, you could claim up to €600, depending on flight distance.
Qatar Airways Flight Cancellation Compensation – When Can You Claim?
You’re eligible for cancellation compensation if:
- You were informed less than 14 days before the scheduled departure
- The flight departed from an EU airport
- The cancellation wasn’t caused by extraordinary circumstances
- No timely alternative flight was offered
If the disruption is Qatar Airways’ responsibility, you may claim €250 to €600 under EC 261.
Qatar Airways Denied Boarding Compensation
If you were involuntarily denied boarding on a Qatar Airways flight departing from the EU, and:
- You arrived at the gate on time
- You had a confirmed reservation and met all requirements
- You were denied boarding through no fault of your own
Then you may be eligible for compensation up to €600, depending on flight distance.
Qatar Airways Baggage Compensation – Lost, Damaged, or Delayed
Under the Montreal Convention, passengers may claim baggage compensation in the following cases:
- Lost Baggage: Declared lost after 21 days without recovery
- Damaged Baggage: Must report damage upon arrival and file a claim within 7 days via a Property Irregularity Report (PIR)
- Delayed Baggage: Reimbursement for essential items purchased during the delay
Compensation can reach up to 1,288 Special Drawing Rights (SDRs), roughly €1,500, depending on your losses.
When Am I Not Entitled to Qatar Airways Compensation?
You won’t be eligible for compensation in cases such as:
- Delays under 3 hours
- Cancellations notified more than 14 days in advance
- Extraordinary circumstances, such as natural disasters, political instability, or airport strikes
In these situations, however, Qatar Airways may still be obligated to offer care, including meals or accommodations.
How Much Can You Claim from Qatar Airways?
Under EC 261, your compensation depends on the flight distance:
- Flights under 1,500 km: €250
- Flights between 1,500–3,500 km: €400
