We do request that you please only request a rebooking or refund if you qualify according to the relevant airline policy.

Rebook on an alternate flight. You can rebook on another flight to your intended destination for travel on or before 27 March.
Request for refund. You can request for a refund of your ticket if your booking is on or before 12 March.
QATAR AIRWAYS
If you have a confirmed booking with a travel date between 28 February and 15 March 2026, you are eligible for:
Complimentary date changes of up to 14 days from the original travel date, or
Refund of the unused value of your ticket.
ETIHAD AIRWAYS

Please consult the website of these or other relevant airlines to get the latest policies. Only contact us for assistance if you qualify for a refund or free rebooking according the airline's current policy. Note that these policies are constantly being updated, so you might qualify for a refund or free rebooking at a later date.
LIMITED FLIGHTS CURRENTLY OPERATING
Some airlines are operating a limited number of repositioning, cargo and repatriation flights. Please note that passengers who qualify for these flights will be contacted directly by the airline. Do not make your way to an airport unless you have been contacted by the airline and been able to purchase a ticket onto one of these selected flights.
