According to Simple Flying, Qatar Airways is amending its refund policy in a move to preserve capital and reward passengers. Passengers who opt to receive a travel voucher, in lieu of a refund, will receive a 10% bonus on top of their fare cost.
Schedules change daily but Qatar has been flying to 70 destinations with 150 daily flights, making it the largest carrier by destinations. While this a far cry from its prior capacity, it is impressive considering some of the largest carriers in the world have parked most of their fleets. With the 10% bonus, travellers may opt to book fresh tickets now, or later, with the voucher, which might be tempting considering fares right now. This allows Qatar to save millions by not having to shell out individual refunds.
