Middle Eastern Airlines

I recently managed to book 4 business class seats on Qatar Airways from IAH to DOH using points on a saver fare (70k points + approximately $297 taxes per seat). The only downside is that the flight is on a Boeing 777-200 with a 2-2-2 business class configuration, so it is not...

Is it more advisable to fly with Qatar or Emirates right now from Thailand to Germany? If you had the choice, which of the two airlines would you choose with the current situation?

I originally booked flights from Melbourne to Athens in August through Qantas Airways, with the flights operated by Emirates. I recently received an email notifying me of a schedule change, with the option to accept or modify the itinerary. I selected a new timing that suited me...

Just flew with Qatar Airways yesterday on PER → DOH → ATH, and since I was checking this subreddit a lot before flying, I thought I’d share a quick report to reassure others. Flight QR901 (Perth → Doha) Aircraft: A350-1000 About 80% full On time, very smooth Crew were efficient...

I’m scheduled to travel from Vietnam to the United States this summer, and I booked the entire itinerary through Alaska Airlines. Part of the journey is operated by Qatar Airways. One of those flights was recently cancelled, and I was moved to a different flight that now causes...

The airline cancelled my upcoming June flight due to ongoing conflict-related disruptions. This was not my decision. I’ve now received a refund breakdown, but the total amount returned is lower than what I originally paid. When I contacted support, they told me that “government...

I recently returned to Toronto from Dubai and wanted to share a quick update for anyone who may be nervous about traveling there or about the overall travel process. My flight departed at 1:30 AM, and the airport experience was very smooth. I was able to complete check-in, bag...

We have flights booked with Emirates from Australia to Europe at the end of May for a 4-week trip. My wife is getting quite worried due to news about a potential fuel shortage in Australia and the ongoing conflict situation, which does not seem to be resolving soon. There is...

As European flights get really expensive and sometimes cancelled, Gulf airlines like Emirates and Qatar are becoming a good, often cheaper choice. One may be scared of getting near the triangle israel - US battleships - Iran, and I understand that. For the others, it’s nice to...

My partner previously volunteered to give up a seat on an overbooked Emirates flight about a year ago and received a travel voucher in return. She later used that voucher to book a flight from Dubai to Manchester scheduled for May. The booking was made well before any current...

Flight for MNL - DOHA & DOHA - BER was successful. Although we only had one meal during the DOHA - BER connection flight? I know we were supposed to have 2 meals on board but it wasnt a full seat flight either and had the whole middle row to myself. Everyone ended up being a bit...

I am considering flying to Australia via Dubai in October with Emirates. I understand that no one can predict future geopolitical conditions, but I want to get an idea of the risk of my flight being cancelled or rescheduled if I book now. I am not sure how current cancellations...

I am planning to book a flight soon, possibly on short notice, and I want to know if Emirates flights are still experiencing cancellations or if operations have returned to normal. I have seen mixed information online, so I am unsure if it is safe to proceed with booking at this...

My family and I had planned a trip to Doha in April this year, but we decided to cancel due to the situation in the region. However, we are still interested in visiting, especially since other destinations do not appeal to us as much. I would like to hear from anyone who is...
