should've price matched? Let's find out.

Qatar Airways’ Best Price Guarantee protects you if you find the same Qatar Airways flight itinerary at a lower price shortly after booking on qatarairways.com. To qualify:

• Your booking must be made directly on the Qatar Airways website.
  
  
• The lower fare must be found within 1 hour of purchase.
  
  
• The competing fare must be an exact match — same flight number, travel dates, route, cabin class (Economy/Business), booking class, and identical fare rules.
  
  
• The lower price must be publicly available online at the time of claim (no member-only or promo fares).
  
  
• Price matches are limited to flights operated by Qatar Airways (not codeshares or partner airlines).
  
  
• Claims are valid only if the compared price includes all taxes and fees, and is in an eligible origin country.
  

Exclusions include: promo codes, corporate/student discounts, membership-only fares, and modified or cancelled bookings. The guarantee applies only when the comparison is apples-to-apples, giving consumers peace of mind that booking direct won’t cost them more.

1. Book direct on qatarairways.com. Save your booking reference and e-ticket.
   
   
2. Search immediately for lower fares. Compare on OTAs (Expedia, Skyscanner) or other airline sites that resell Qatar flights. Take timestamped screenshots showing the lower fare, flight details, and total price including taxes.
   
   
3. Submit your claim. Go to the Qatar Airways Best Price Guarantee claim form (via Help/Contact Center) within 1 hour. Provide booking reference, competitor URL, lower fare amount, and attach proof.
   
   
4. Provide details clearly. Ensure screenshots show final checkout stage and all fare rules. Claims missing info may be rejected.
   
   
5. Await refund. If approved, Qatar Airways refunds the fare difference to your original payment within ~30 days. Keep all documents until confirmed.
   

Act fast: the one-hour claim window is strict.

The Best Price Guarantee does not apply to:

• Fares found after 1 hour from original booking.
  
  
• Flights operated by codeshare or partner airlines.
  
  
• Promotional/member-only rates (corporate, student, military, loyalty clubs, coupon codes).
  
  
• Bundled deals (flight + hotel packages).
  
  
• Post-booking changes or cancellations (voids eligibility).
  
  
• Multiple sequential claims on the same booking.
  
  

Qatar Airways also reserves the right to deny claims it cannot independently verify. The program is designed to cover genuine discrepancies, not promo or package pricing.
