Flight Disruptions: Qatar Airways Allows Free Rescheduling Up to 14 Days

✈️ Travel Alert for Qatar Airways Passengers

Qatar Airways has announced special assistance measures for travelers affected by recent travel disruptions.

Passengers with confirmed bookings between Feb 28 and March 15, 2026 can now:

• Change their travel dates free of charge (up to 14 days from the original date)
• Or request a refund for the unused portion of their ticket

Due to a very high volume of calls, the airline is asking passengers to contact them only if their flight is within the next 48 hours.

For flights scheduled later, travelers are encouraged to:
• Manage bookings via the airline’s official website or mobile app
• Contact the airline closer to the departure date

If your ticket was booked through a travel agent or third-party website, you should reach out to that provider directly for assistance.

Passengers in Doha or those needing additional support are advised to follow updates on the airline’s official travel alerts page.

Stay updated and plan accordingly if you’re traveling in the coming weeks. ✈️

U.S. Embassy Cancels Visa, Citizen Services Appointments Amid Protests

The U.S. Embassy Islamabad announced the cancellation of all U.S. visa appointments and American Citizen Services scheduled for Monday, March 2, citing protest activity around U.S. diplomatic facilities in Pakistan.

“Due to protest activity around the U.S. Consulates General in Karachi and Lahore, and the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, all appointments for U.S. visas and American Citizen Services are canceled for tomorrow, March 2,” the Embassy said in a security alert.

The Embassy added that it is monitoring demonstrations at the U.S. Consulate General Lahore, reports of violent protests near the U.S. Consulate General Karachi, and calls for additional protests at the Embassy in Islamabad and the U.S. Consulate General Peshawar.

As a precaution, the U.S. Mission said U.S. government personnel have been directed to restrict their movements until further notice.

The Embassy advised U.S. citizens in Pakistan to “monitor local news, observe good personal security practices, including being aware of your surroundings, avoiding large crowds, and ensuring your STEP registration is up to date.”

No timeline was provided for the resumption of services.
