  Excess baggage will be subject to additional fees, to be collected at the airport. For excess baggage rates please contact your nearest Qatar Airways Office

  Transatlantic travel refers to travel to and from the Americas on Qatar Airways

 

Liquids & Gels

International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) recommends all liquids, gels, pastes and aerosols of up to 100 ml be carried in one transparent and re-sealable plastic bag to a maximum capacity of 1 litre. The transparent bag's dimensions should not exceed 20 cm x 20 cm or 8 in. x 8 in.Containers over 100 ml will not be accepted even if only partly filled. You may be required to produce your clear transparent bag of liquids separately for security screening.

There are no restrictions on baby food and required medications. It may be necessary for you to produce a medical certificate or doctor's prescription in order to bring medication onboard.

Mishandled Baggage

At Qatar Airways, over 99% of checked baggage is claimed by our passengers immediately following their flight. However, for the exceptional case when your checked baggage does not arrive with you, you can be assured that we will do everything possible to locate your items and return it to you promptly.

If your baggage is missing, it is extremely important that you file a report at the Qatar Airways baggage services counter at your arrival airport. You will then be given a baggage tracing number, which you can use to track the status of your baggage claim. Please click the banner below if you have received a tracing number and would like to check on the status of your claim.

  1. Avoid Qatar Airways

    Do a search for "qatar airways" and "complaints" to read about the many cases of people being forced to check-in their under-weight carry-on valuables unnecessarily, , only to find out they have been ransacked or gone missing once the passenger reaches their destination......

  1. SpeakUP

    The agency staff where I purchased my ticket were rude and disrespectful. They changed my ticket's expiration date after I left their office without letting me know. When I contacted the customer support they responded dismissively and biased. They didn't even respond in a timely fashion. Finally when I asked the issue to be escalated to their managers they completely ignored me. I definitely do not recommend traveling with them.

  1. Your health could be compromised...

    Do NOT use Qatar airlines. They attempted to charge me about $300 in excess baggage kilos. I was told to take some out of my luggage or pay! OMG, I have never in my life encountered something like this. I was leaving KTM to IST (transiting thru Doha). Doha is horrible! What a joke to force people into Doha, the Arab capital. They want you to pay their $125 hotel to leave the airport when the hotels are not worth it. I was told by their attendants that don't worry we'll get you in a quiet room to sleep. I had arrived into Doha at 2AM and my flight was at 2PM, 12 hour delay !! This is outrageous to make people wait so long. Then to compensate them with those nasty greasy cardboard fries that made me so ill I had diarrhea by the time I left I was SO SICK and I suffered on the 5 hour flight into Istanbul. Once in IST I went to the hospital which charged me over $300. Qatar's staff don't speak English nor do they understand. They shouted out loud for everyone to hear in the plane so that the other passengers could know my situation. HOW embarrassing, yet they did nothing for me. I asked them to call for a doctor and when they finally did that was of no help because we were supposedly 5 min to landing. Which was a lie. I will NEVER fly on Qatar again.

    05/31/2011

  1. loi

    if only 23 kgs. are allowed.for cebu /doha it is because they can do what ever they want how arrogant this airline how can they call their airline as such a five star?

    05/31/2011

  1. kjqatar

    Im wondering why only cebu flight they are reducing the baggage.Its so unfair to the cebu travellers becoz for doha-manila flight its still the same weight they are giving.I'd just hpoe that someday there's an airline to compete QATAR AIRWAYS for cebu flight.To qatar airways management...this is to remind u that we are not picking the money here in qatar to leave our valuable items in the airport.....& to the disrepecful personnel at the airport....BE PROFESSIONAL DEALING WITH TRAVELLERS!!!!!!!!

    How answers all this questions don't they have a customer support personnel who would respond to all the queries. For an Airline like Qatar to be so low on customer support leaves alot to be desired. That said, the some of the staff are very professional but some OMG need not work there, whatever image they are selling is definitely not customer service

    Qatar Airlines - not a 5 Star Airline I have travelled between UK and Asia by many different airlines and never been charged for overweight baggage. On my last trip I was 2.5 kg over per person, 2 adults, 2 children and was charged 433 UK pounds. Amazing. This is what would expect from a budget airline not a 5 Star Airline Dont believe the hype and advertising,Qatar airlines is not a 5 Star Airline Next time I will fly Emirates, they are much better airline and also offer more baggage allowance. Qatar airlines are a cheapskate company..

    This is a ridiculous site where no questions ever be answered. I just had an experience where I had to pay extra where my wife had called the airline before and they said 2 pcs 23 kgs but it was 23 kgs in total not per piece. Also they mistakenly booked my flight wrongly when I wanted to make a change. 5 stars no way.... CX and SQ is 100 times better
