Qatar Airways offers a full refund as long as it meets the terms of your fare conditions. The validity of a ticket refund is 12 months from the date of issue for a totally unused ticket; and 12 months from the first upgrade date for a partially used ticket.

Reimbursement in the event of death: The legal heirs of the deceased will be reimbursed after verification of valid documents (death certificate or copy, etc.).
The following ticket holders are not eligible to request a refund:

Tickets used beyond the rotation point
Notes used out of order

**Below are Qatar Airways' main cancellation rules:**

All tickets purchased from the airline directly by any means may be cancelled. Changes can also be made to these tickets.
Last minute cancellations may be subject to a penalty. Thus, to avoid such penalties, you will need to request a cancellation at least 3 hours before flight departure.
If you want to access flight cancellation in Qatar for tickets purchased through third-party sites or outside travel agencies, you will need to contact the airline at their support number.
Penalties under the no-show policy will not be applied if you request a cancellation well before the flight takes off.
For rebooking flights after cancellation, you can choose the same ticket class as on the original aircraft. However, you will have to pay additional fees when you want to choose a higher class.
Any type of refund or compensation will be transferred to customers in the same form of payment originally made by the customer. The currency will also remain the same.

Before leaving
For fully unused tickets, the amount paid will be fully refunded, including taxes, after deduction of cancellation charges (if any) in accordance with fare rules, provided the fare is refundable.

**After the departure**
For fares that allow for refund after departure, such as a partially used ticket, the refund will be the amount equal to the difference between the fare paid and the applicable fare for travel between the points for which the ticket was used less any charges. cancellation.

If the one-way fare is not available or published on the inventory mentioned on the ticket, deduct the next available one-way fare in the higher booking designator (RBD) for which the trip was made.

If the one-way fare plus cancellation charges exceeds the base fare actually collected for the trip, the base fare paid remains non-refundable. All unused tax-based coupons excluding surcharges will be refundable for such scenarios.
