[@lifewithtara8901]

My flight is on 10th August 2024 at 9:20 am to Pakistan (peshawar) via Qatar Airline from Düsseldorf Flughafen, I would like to know if any of you have the same flight, It would be very helpful for me as I will be travelling alone with a toddler. Looking forward to your response Jazaka Allah Best regards

[@aminabouneb6562]

Hi. Is 2 hours and 15 minutes transit time enough to transfer from a flight to another? Knowing that my ticket is with one single PNR (different companies). Thank you,

[@theresearchfiles]

Hi, if the baggage is checked-through, yes there's enough time

[@rohithrohith6865]

And Doha to Manchester by Qatar Airways. So my doubt is will my baggage be checked through directly to Manchester or do I need to claim my baggage at doha airport and follow security and immigration and then proceed to the next flight. I’m having a student visa for uk only . Can u tell me what can I do

[@theresearchfiles]

Hi, usually with different ticket number/ airline, your baggage will not be checked through and you have to pass immigration.

[@rohithrohith6865]

Hi, I’m having a flight from Hyderabad to Manchester via Doha and my airlines is Qatar airways. So hyd to doha I will be travelling with indigo airlines its mention that the flight from Hyderabad to Doha will be operated by indigo (6E)

[@veggiecations]

Hi. I watched the video and based on my understanding, if you one ticket throughout your journey, you can go to transfer right away. Best to check during check in if your baggage can be picked up at the final destination. However, if you have separate tickets, you need to get bags and go through immigration, and then check in again. I believe Qatar is one of the most welcoming countries offering visas on arrival, you may want to check on your eligibility depending on your passport’s nationality

[@suffocateme933]

Hi I have a 3 hour layover from Gatwick to Doha and then flying to Phuket with Doha airlines but a different plane will I need to collect baggage and then check it in to the next flight?

[@theresearchfiles]

You don't need to collect your baggage if the flights are booked on a single PNR

[@uva949]

Hi @theresearchfiles Will 4hrs be enough time to transit. Diff PNR booking under same airline (Qatar Airways)? immigration-bags-checkin- imigration

[@theresearchfiles]

I would say 4 hours is enough. However its hard to be sure

[@uva949]

Thank you

[@ashrana4642]

If I'm transferring, will my bag be automatically put into the next flight or do you have to claim it first? Do you get free WiFi onboard Qatar airways?

[@theresearchfiles]

Hi, if your flights are booked under a single ticket/ PNR then yes, bags will be sent to the next flight. the free wifi provided has limitations, works only for text messages and slow. They also have a paid version, but I did not try it.

[@medibear4059]

Hi. If you already have your boarding pass, do you still need to go to security ?

[@theresearchfiles]

Hi, yes you still need to go through security. I got my boarding pass with a single PNR ticket, after arrival, I went through security check, but did not have to go through immigration.

[@caroltanting3226]

Hi, My ticket is with one PNR booking via Qatar Airways ,but my connecting flights will be operated with a different airlines, will my checked in luggaes be transferred by the airlines to the final destination?

[@theresearchfiles]

Hi Carol, usually flights with a single PNR, baggage will be checked through to the final destination. However it is safer to check with the airline if you want to be sure.

Hello, I am a French citizen, I am transferring from Doha to Montreal in Canada, I am traveling with the same company, I am traveling without luggage, I want to know what checks I have to go through? Shall we check the passport again or just my boarding pass?

[@theresearchfiles]

Hi, Usually travelling with one ticket (same airline), all the boarding passes will be given to you during the first check in, no passport check, just security check for your hand carry belongings.

[@hamdiassiddiqi]

Hi my flight is different pnr (aman-doha-kul) and I only have 3 hours for transit, is that enough to get through immigration?

You will need a visa, is free of charge, if you're not from USA.

[@JimboandGhen]

Hi, we have a 17 hour layover and booked a hotel thru the Discover Qatar which the hotel is 15 mins from the airport. We have USA passports, do you know if we go thru immigration to leave the airport or just security check point? At what point do we get the TRANSIT VISA? We do not plan to visit The Corniche, Souqs until our return trip and will take Uber taxi to the hotel and then just rest in the hotel until our next day 800am flight. We have single PNR and our luggage will go straight thru from Atlanta to Manila, Philippines.

[@theresearchfiles]

Hi according to this website: visitqatar.com/intl-en/practical-info/visas/visa-details, USA passport holders do not need a visa to enter Qatar for 30 days visit. If you are leaving the airport, you need to go through immigration.

Do u think 1 hour and 30 minutes is enough to catch the next flight?

Hey! Im returing from Jakarta, transitting through Doha but my transit time is only 55 minutes....both flights on Qatar airways

[@theresearchfiles]

Hi, with the same PNR, the airline will make sure you transfer to your connecting flight. Depending on where your connecting flight's gate is, the airport is big, you might need to speed up with 55 minutes.
