I’m booking a Qatar Airways flight from Milan to New Delhi using the student discount/program and I have a 10-hour layover in Doha. I’m a bit confused about two things and hoping someone here has experience with it.
First, the extra baggage. Qatar mentions student benefits like additional baggage allowance, but during booking I can’t clearly see where the extra baggage is actually applied. Does it show up only after ticketing? Do I need to verify my student status separately somewhere? I don’t want to arrive at the airport and suddenly be told I only have the standard allowance.
Also, any general tips for booking with the student program would be appreciated. Things like discounts, flexibility, baggage tricks, or anything useful.
Second question is about the long layover in Doha. Since my transit is around 10 hours, would I qualify for a complimentary hotel from Qatar Airways, or is that only for specific fares/routes? If anyone has used the stopover hotel program before, how exactly does it work?
Thanks in advance!
