Qatar Airways policy
The policy shown seems relevant to normal operations not the scenario we see today. 2 changes in 14 days from original booking are irrelevant. I’ve already had 3 flights cancelled and 14 days from our original booking will soon pass with no available flights (Sri Lanka to Heathrow) Could the Qatar policy be reviewed by the…

Lastminute.com dragging their feet over flight refunds

Does anyone know where to find the API on the Ryanair app?
Does anyone know where to find the API on the Ryanair app? After booking and paying for my flights on Ryanair, they then decided to change the terms and that I can only fly if I use the Ryan mobile app. I have installed the mobile app and it has scant information about my flights. I have just read that I must complete the…

Ryanair and printed boarding passes
Can anyone tell me unequivocally whether they no longer allow customers to print boarding passes? This seems draconian (if typical). I have seen it stated that they are only stopping the facility for customers to ask THEM (Ryanair staff) to print boarding passes at the airport.

Recover costs from credit card company for cancelled trip to Middle East
Nationwide says "If you are unable to get a refund or reschedule your trip, you may be able to make a claim for cancellation costs. You may also be able to recover costs from your credit card company if this is how you paid for your trip." That surprises me. Would I really get a credit card company rather than travel…

How common are flight changes? And how much, if any, of a refund can you be looking at?
