It's the Qataris in the countries that have cut ties with Qatar that may have need to panic.

I would be a bit concerned if I had air travel planned into or out of Qatar.  Definitely need to watch the situation as it develops.

I've been told by friends in Saudi that Qatar Airways are arranging alternative flights through other carriers, getting choice of date is all but impossible though.

 

You take what you are given by the looks of it.

 

Refunds are being given but cancellation fees being charged...

 

Seriously <deleted> up.
