"traveler Must Possess Credit Card Used To Purchase Ticket"

[smokie36]

Qatar Airways are very strict on the rule of producing the credit/debit card used for online booking at check-in on BOTH legs of the journey.

I booked a flight with Qatar Airways with a debit card which expires this year (2009) for a flight in 2010 so I contacted Qatar Airways regarding this matter because my new debit card will have a new # and expiry date and be a 'new' card.

They said I must produce an original bank statement of the cleared transaction or I would be denied boarding.

So if you book online with Qatar, be aware that you MUST present your credit/debit card or original CC/bank statement on BOTH legs.

I understand these are the rules. But I have never experienced this. I flew with Qatar this year having booked with ebookers and was not required to show my debit card on either flight.

Same with every flight I have taken in the last few years (30-40 flights).

Maybe its different if you book direct with the airline?

Yes, it is different if you book with some airlines rather than a travel agent.
