Connecting flight in Qatar with Israeli passport
I hold an Israeli passport, and would like to book a flight with Qatar air, that has a few hours layover in Qatar.
It's that recommend? What would happen if the second flight get delayed, and the airline works want to take me to a hotel over night?
Best Answer
Exactly what the airline will do in the event of a protracted delay will depend on many things. They don't often put passengers in hotels because it's expensive.
In your case you would have to remain in the transit area of the airport unless you have a visa. There is an airside hotel at Hamad International, available only to transit passengers, that the airline might use, or that you could choose to use if they don't offer it.
