Qatar's "travel with confidence" and travel in January

I'm planning on buying a return ticket departing in November and returning in January.

I am uncertain if I will be able to return at the expected date due to possible travel restrictions etc.

Qatar's travel with confidence policy says I may "change your travel date or destination free of charge, as often as you need, for travel until 31 December 2020".

Does it make sense to book a ticket returning in December instead and changing the booking later? I have been unable to get through to Qatar's call center.

Best Answer

The Travel with Confidence terms permit a free-of-charge change of travel dates, but only for flights before December 31, 2020. Qatar's text says:

You can change your travel date or destination free of charge, as often as you need, for travel until 31 December 2020.

Because your proposed return flight is in January 2021, the policy won't apply.

Any change of a January 2021 return flight will presumably incur a change fee, unless Qatar's policy changes.
