Your service is really bad. I traveled to US and back from Bangalore on economic class. Very bad behaviour from the air hostess. I couldn't get a glass of water or neither I was very hungry all the way to LA.

Pathetic service. If you mistakenly didn't opt for vegetarian food then they make you travel empty stomach and bluntly said, "We don't have vegetarian food. So enjoy." It's really sad that big airline behave like this.

Before you ask for wheelchair in Montreal from Qatar Airlines, please note it is Chaotic, unorganised, callous and unprofessional. My elderly mother on a wheel chair was taking QR 764 flight with my brother on the 2nd of June 2024, we arrived 4 hours earlier with an online check in, we were sent to wait for the wheelchair agent, there were several people waiting and several arriving afterwards but no sign of any agent or whatsoever, after one and a half hour wait I started asking questions, the reply was a spot face, "we are calling you someone" but no hesitation even to pretend calling, literally after 2 and a half hour wait I go to the counter 596 and ask for help, the guy rudely responded the wheelchair service was for all airlines but he would call still no call no sign.
There was literally 40 minutes left to board the plane, the same guy comes in panic and ask questions, almost all the crippled and aged people now on a full panic swing rush to security, a couple of agents appears to push some wheelchairs, my mom's included. Only to abandon at security check, my brother pushing the wheel chair and holding both his and my mom's carry on is a picture of total failure regarding customer service of QR. I understand issues but management is the name which is profoundly missing at this airline. No respect for people with or without a problem, their image is in name only, it is not only me but everyone there on the 2nd of June will confirm that!!!

I recently had the unfortunate experience of dealing with the checking crew of Qatar Airways company in Marrakech airport and I must say, it was an absolutely terrible experience. Not only did I have to wait on hold for an excessive amount of time, the manager of crew who name Rachid, was rude and unhelpful. They didn't even attempt to comprehend the issue at hand, and he threatened that he will make me miss my flight if I don’t tip him, I left the Marrakech feeling undervalued and frustrated. It's a shame that such a large company, with a reputation to uphold, can't treat their customers with more respect and care. Needless to say. I certainly will not be flying with them again in the future.

The most horrible airline is Qatar Airways. They do not even have customer service and the free calls get transfer to India. I was trying to travel to Iran on April 17, 2024 with my family and the tense war happened between Iran and Israel exactly around the same time. Even Iran airport got closed for few days. That was my only time available to travel and I had to cancel my tickets and they deducted cancellation fee of 960 dollars plus they did not refund my seat pre purchase for 234 dollars. The customer service always answered me was a guy from India any time I called. I sent complaint email but not even responding to my email to say no to me. Very bad airline. Do not use it and please tell your friends and family too. I wonder a rich ** airline with an ** CEO that does not have idea how to run airline with zero customer service.

I bought a ticket from Qatar Airways to fly from Vancouver to Tehran, it had two stops one in Seattle and one in Doha, the flight from Vancouver to Seattle was delayed and I got to Seattle 10 minutes before departure, the agents said the gate is closed and they can’t let any of 30 people to get on, they didn’t get any information from any of those who missed the flight, they kept saying their nonsense statement that, “You were late, we cooperate with Alaska, they caused this delay and you have to go to Alaska."
They said Qatar Airways is not responsible to find the next flight if you want to go with another airline earlier, they can see for the next flight if there is a room and it is first come first serve, also they are responsible to cover or provide the accommodation and customer should take care of themselves, there was no empathy, no proper communication and customer service, I never ever never fly with Qatar Airways because they don’t know how to deal with unexpected issues and situations and to me they are not trustworthy anymore and don’t recommend to fly with Qatar Airways.

I flew from Montreal to Dhaka. One of my luggage didn’t come. After filing a complaint I was given a number to check the status. The local office hardly picks up the phone. Even trying to contact the Qatar Airways official site is a nightmare. At this point, I'm unsure if I will get my luggage back. Compensation for lost luggages should be made higher so the airlines start taking care of passengers' bags.

My recent journey with Qatar Airways from JFK to New Delhi was a disappointment. Despite the airline's reputed top-tier service, my encounter with their ground staff at Delhi airport was unprofessional and marred by glaring inefficiencies. Many passengers, including myself, faced baggage problems, resulting in the distressing situation of having to discard personal belongings, including essential medication for my sick daughter. The names of the staff involved are available should Qatar Airways management wish to take action.
Moreover, the in-flight dining experience was substandard, failing to meet expectations of quality. This glaring discrepancy between the airline's claims of luxury and comfort and the reality of the service provided highlights the need for significant administrative overhaul. My experience with Qatar Airways was unsatisfactory, prompting me to caution others against choosing this airline for their travels. Until substantive improvements are made, I will be exploring alternative options for my future flights.

I was impressed by 5 star Qatar airways and it’s highly standard reputation but all this changed today on my flight from Los Angeles to Kuwait Flight # 740 April 27. I’m extremely disappointed with Qatar airways. I was traveling on April 27 and was delayed at LAX for 4 hours and another delayed In Doha for another 8 hours. We were not offered any type of compensation for the extreme delays of the inconvenience. Not only I will never fly on Qatar airways again but also will share my bad experience with all my friends and network that should fly on the Emirates. More efficient and professional.

I travelled with my wife and my infant who was just 11 months old. We were traveling all the way from USA to Sri Lanka. It was a 25 hour journey. SEA to DOH is the longest leg and which is 14+ hours long. We booked seats where the bassinet is accessible as it would be really helpful for a comfortable journey with a kid. But unfortunately due to many reasons (booking website, Incident handling, People behavior) we were not able to use a bassinet. So for 14 crazy hours we had to hold the baby continuously, It was a super frustrating experience and I would rather double check about booking with Qatar again.

We couldn't finish our trip because of their mismanagement, and were sent back to our origin. Spent 52 hours in airplanes and airports. Didn't get our luggages in the origin after waiting for 3 hours. No one reached out to fix the issue afterward. l've called multiple times, every time they say call in 24 hours, no responses yet. The whole trip just left us exhausted, overwhelmed and sick. Will never fly with them again.

We always pick “flexibility to make one change” whenever we book our flights. With multi-city booking, I was able to change flight to a different date with so much time consumed on the website and phone calls to Qatar customer service. But my daughter who booked multi-city with Qatar airway had gone through hell with changing the date. She wasn’t able to change on the website under “manage booking”. This has caused her a lot of stress and anxiety. Please improve your service. Qatar is going downhill…

Qatar airline is always late. Never take off on time. It make is hard for those who have connections flights. I asked them if I would be able to make my other flight , they said “yes, don’t worry." The pilot will make it up in the air, which a lie. I got there late and didn’t get my connection flight. Will never go with Qatar Airways again.

Had a connected flight from Osaka to Amsterdam through Doha. As the stopover duration exceeds 8 hours, I applied for a hotel voucher guaranteed by Qatar Airways. After two reminders got a confirmation from them by email. However on my arrival to Doha, the company refused to provide the hotel room after 90 min of waiting!!! The food on board was also quite mediocre. Definitely not worth it, comparing to the ticket by competitors. 1/10, my last trip using your services.

I booked a business class ticket. It was very expensive. I expected lounge access. Only when I got to the airport did they tell me that I did not have access. It was a con job. Nowhere when I booked a ticket did they reveal that access was not included. Used to think Qatar was good. Now think they are very poor and dishonest.

I had a terrible experience with this airlines today. If you are a non Qatari and if you are being seated with Qatari people then be careful because if in any case of issues the staff will not support us even though I am a gold member. One Qatari lady was forcing me to give my seat to her and in the end due to the disturbances I gave up my window seat. At the moment I left my seat the lady seating near me started shouting that I verbally abused her and during the entire flight the staffs were only supporting her. I gave up my nice seat and had to deal with her shouting and yelling.
When the flight landed security and police came and questioned us and the lady was saying all sorts of lies and demanded a sorry from me. As I was on the way to Berlin to see my kids and spend Easter together I was forced to say so.,, Shame on you Qatar Airways. You are the worst airlines I have ever travelled. Today you are losing a precious customer like me. I will never ever travel with you. You have to train your flight attendants well. In case of such an issue you have to make sit the passenger in distress in the first class where almost all seats are empty. I have seen that in many airlines. When I deboarded the flight I asked the airhostess she said they don't have the authority to do so. My next joinery from Doha to Berlin is in business class. The complaining lady was yelling that you won't leave Doha you won't board the next flight... What kind of justice is this???
I am deeply shattered and angry so if you are travelling with this airlines be careful because the staff won't support you, you have to fight your own!! I feel sad for another passenger on the same row who was forced to go back. He is a European and I am sure he won’t travel in this airline again. I can see the downfall of this airline in future

I am utterly disappointed and frustrated with my recent experience with Qatar Airways. Their incompetence and disregard for customer satisfaction have left me deeply dissatisfied and vowing never to use their services again. My journey with Qatar Airways involved a Via Rail train leg and connecting flights, and it was nothing short of a nightmare. From the onset, there were glaring issues with my booking, including a critical error in my boarding pass that led to denial of boarding by Via Rail. Despite providing accurate information, Qatar Airways' system generated a pass for the wrong date, causing chaos and inconvenience.
Furthermore, there was a discrepancy in luggage allowance between Qatar Airways and Via Rail, adding further stress to an already frustrating situation. Despite repeated assurances from Qatar Airways, their promises of resolving the issue within 48 hours turned out to be empty words. I contacted them immediately, and despite being promised callbacks, I was left waiting for over a week without any response.
The lack of accountability and professionalism displayed by Qatar Airways is appalling. Their failure to follow through on their commitments and their habit of making false promises have cost them not only my business but also that of my friends and family. I will make sure to share my harrowing experience with everyone I know to prevent them from falling victim to Qatar Airways' poor service. I urge anyone considering Qatar Airways for their travel needs to think twice. The convenience may seem appealing, but the reality of dealing with their abysmal customer service is far from worth it. Save yourself the headache and frustration and choose a more reliable airline for your journey.

I traveled to India with a granted tourist visa. Once I arrived in India, I was profiled by the immigration immediately without any questions, the officer took my passport, and left his desk. He came back later to bring me to a place to sit and wait. They plugged a device in my phone and it pulled all the messages out of my phone with the keywords "Jesus", "God", and "Christ". Then the immigration officer interrogated me and told me I was there under false pretenses and should not be under a tourist visa and that it should have been a missionary visa. I told him I was only there to visit. I even had a word document with my itinerary and all the places I was going to visit. He told me that I wasn't being specific and asked where I was staying. I gave him my hotel information and confirmation of stay.
They had me waiting for two hours, and someone came and it felt very intimidating as he was interrogating me and trying to twist my words and such. They did everything they could to profile me as a missionary, and refused me entry. I explained to them that these messages were to my Christian friends, and my small group at church. I told them I own a business and work 6 days a week. I have a website, store front, and employees to contact to prove this. They then asked me if I was coming to donate to an orphanage. I told them no. He came back later and said I was lying. They didn't believe me, and deported me.
I had asked them on several occasions the reason, and they told me it was "Undisclosed" or they didn't know. Then they had a Qatar Airlines representative hold me against my consent for 24 hours until the next flight out of there. They had me change my tickets from March 9th to March 1st. All along the way, they were asking me why I was refused entry as the paperwork said undisclosed. This airline did nothing to help me and completely abandoned me. They would not assist me in contacting someone to represent me like a representative from the embassy or an immigration attorney. I had asked several times as I was already granted a visa in which you have to apply before leaving the country, and were not allowed to hold me as I had done nothing wrong.
They didn't give me any way of defending myself against these accusations and went along with things. I recommend that no one ever uses this airline, and that India is not friendly place for Americans who are Christian or Muslim. I had talked to a few people sitting there and it appears as though they want this to be fully a Hindi nation and are not friendly to outsiders. I felt this personally. I was told to sit down in a chair for 10 hours without any reason.
As I was sitting there, I had the opportunity to see them do this same thing to others. It was only the Americans that were traveling alone. Buyer Beware! I will never use this airline again. I asked for documentation, and they said it would be given to me when I arrived back in the United States. When I finally arrived, I was given nothing but my passport and boarding passes. The passport doesn't even have a stamp for refusal or anything! It's blank, like I was never there. I believe this airline works with immigration. Stay away from this airline, and INDIA. It is corrupt!

Qatar is a terrible airline! They will scam you out of money at every corner. Their customer service is a joke. They convinced me that I needed to pay $1500 to add my middle name to my flight, or they wouldn't allow me on the plane. When I got to the airport, they didn't even put my middle name on the ticket and I didn't have any issues. I also paid $2300 to upgrade our seats to business class from Doha to Montreal. Not even an hour into the flight, the seat reclined on its own, pinching my leg. The seat wouldn't stay up the rest of the 13.5 hour flight.

We had a terrible experience with Qatar Aries as Qatar Airways has contracted American Airlines for flight from Philadelphia to Doha. Being said that, instead of Qatar airplane, our flight was with American Airlines while we deserve the ticket with Qatar Airways. This long flight with these airplane wasn't two nightmare as the airplane seats did not have any space at all for an average person. Who suffered from backache. Also for inbound flight, they changed the policy and didn't let us to take the same items we had from US to Doha's discriminatory regulations?

Like frequent accounts, air service and crew is impeccable and wonderful. No complaints about the hard or soft products onboard. However, their ground service, particularly baggage, completely besmirch their image. They lost my bag at JFK for an entire week, and when I had to waste a day of my own vacation time to go buy some clothes, they then refuse to fully reimburse me and instead I had to chase and jump through hoops to get any compensation offer from them. In the end, they're citing some policy concerning Brazilian residents... when I'm not even from Brazil.
They're violating US regulations concerning delayed baggage compensation but seemingly don't care. It has been few months, and I have not gotten anything yet. All this over a couple hundred dollars; it's utterly disgraceful. If you're planning to check a bag or have proper customer service when it's lost, you best look for another airline folks. I'm definitely going to take my business elsewhere, like BA which also messed up my trip in part is way better than this.

Please read. This has to be the worst airline I’ve ever encountered. I’ve never even had a chance to fly them. They cancelled out flight 30 minutes before boarding from Dulles to New Delhi. No one was at the counter to help us, their customer service line said the wait time was 5 minutes, we spent 2 hrs on the phone. They basically said they’re sorry, moved our flight 3 days, which means we are now missing half of our vacation…Didn’t offer us an upgrade. Also told us that the lounge passes we paid for, we might not be able to use. This airline is horrible and I would try any way possible to use another airline.

Absolutely horrible airline! Our daughter flew this airline from Boston to China via Doha. They claim she caused some type of disturbance on the first flight and would not let her continue on the second flight to China. They sent her to a medical facility of their choosing in Doha for evaluation. That medical facility evaluated her and cleared her fit for travel. Even with that, the airline refused to allow her to continue on the next leg without a medical monitor. This would have cost us more than $5000 extra US and was not even necessary according to the medical facility they sent her to.
We ended up having to buy a ticket on another airline for over $1000 to get her the rest of the way from China. This airline not only didn't refund any of the cost of her flights, but has not responded to my customer complaint for almost a year now. They totally ignore the situation and pretend like it never happened. It is totally disgusting! Do not fly with these totally unscrupulous company.

The worst airline in my 40 years of flying, it was the first flight and will be the last with Qatar Airways. The Qatar Airways app's shows two cabin carry on baggage per passenger, the boarding staff by the name of Seefa said only one allowed. I could not open the apps at that time and the plane is due to take off, I ended up paying $253 for one carry on with "GATE BAG" marking as a checked in bag. Complaints by email were a waste of time, a month so far with no response. It's a carryon bag scam. BEWARE!

The worst airline service in the world. I booked four tickets, one of them for an infant. When he informed me that there was a special seat for the infant, I was surprised when boarding the plane that there was no seat. When asked about the yacht, one of the employees came. He informed me that he wanted to cancel the special tickets, as I carried the infant for 17 hours. They do not have sufficient experience in the field of passenger service. They do not have any humanity, whether collecting money at any cost or not.

BEST AIRLINE FOR RICH PEOPLE BUT NOT FOR PERSON WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. By law, allowed to carry a dialysis machine but was denied accusing that no request was received. It was their requirement to fill up a MEDIF form and get an approval before you can carry the machine. I’ve sent it multiple times and reached out with them too but still denied it. I have a small purse but is counted as a hand carry already so we have to put that in my bag. Was asked to go back to the end of the line again and when we reached the agent, we were told that if we want to catch our flight, I need to walk because they ran out of wheelchair.
