Qatar Airways

Qatar Airways offers the following tips to help speed your way to an on-time departure:

• Keep your tickets and passport/visa documents handy
• Report to the Qatar Airways check-in counter on-time
• Proceed to the security checks, ensuring you are not bringing any prohibited items with you
• Proceed to our waiting lounge with tickets and passport readily available for collection

It is recommended that you arrive at the airport at roughly three hours before departure. This may vary depending on your airport of departure. Please contact your departure airport or a local Qatar Airways office during your reconfirmation to check if check-in times materially differ from our suggested three-hours.

The check-in counter closes at least one hour prior to departure, thus it is imperative that you arrive to check-in for your flight ontime. Under an hour, both the flight and baggage check-in are subject to closure. The gate normally closes 20 minutes prior to departure. This could vary depending on your departure airport.

Qatar Airways staff are trained to provide quick & efficient check-in. If passengers require any special assistance to their departure gates, we will be happy to escort you to the gate. If your travel takes you through Doha, Qatar for a connection flight, you will be met by representatives to assist you with flight connections upon arrival in Doha.

Always keep your documents handy

Before you leave home to embark on your journey, please make sure that you have your tickets and all of the necessary documents and visas for all countries that you plan to visit.

Baggage Check-in

Qatar Airways, like all other airlines, has a strict policy on baggage check-in. We encourage you to consult our FAQs or search button above for tips & policies. To help us ensure that your bags arrive with you, we highly recommend that each bag be labelled on the inside with your name and full address. This information should also be placed on the outside with your name and destination city. We appreciate your compliance with this request.
