Scenarios for Indian citizen for missing connecting flight in Doha
I am an Indian student in Germany. I will be travelling to India via Doha in Qatar Airways. My connection time is 50 minutes. I have read a lot of posts where, in case of any delay or connection missed, Qatar Airways gave transit and accommodation to the concerned passenger. However, the posts I read were from non-Indians. I know that Indians do not get on arrival visa of any kind in Qatar but Qatar Airways website says they would try to get a transit and free accommodation in such a scenario (no nationality mentioned though).
I would like to know if I would be given a transit visa and accommodation on missing the connecting flight since the next flight is 24 hours later. If not transit, would they at least take up responsibility and give free accommodation in the airport hotel itself? Or would they transfer me via some other airline via another route (For example, Sri Lankan Airlines via Colombo or Emirates via Dubai). I am travelling for the first time back home from abroad, sorry if the question sounds very noob-ish.
