Our Verdict
Not sure how many people are traveling now, though you can book out through December too.
Sounds like they’ll be releasing new tickets each day, so worth checking daily from May 12th through May 18th at 5:01 pm ET to see if you can grab a pair of tickets.

F.A.Q’s
What should you do if you get ‘error while submitting the form’?
This seems to happen when the Qatar servers/form is overloaded when the tickets go live each day. Unfortunately as far as I know there is no solution but to keep on trying. Feel free to share any methods you’ve used to bypass this error in the comments below.
Did any book the ticket ?
Same question. Anyone had success with booking using the promo code?
It’s obviously a scam. The promo never worked
Fyi, it looks like they extended the allowable outbound date from December to March.
Do you happen to have the link? Been searching for this info but couldn’t find it anywhere.
I’m curious as well
Anonymous do you have a link confirming the extension?

It is in your email with the promo code
Did anyone succeed in buying a ticket with the promo code?
I got my code but nothing is happening when I am applying it
BOGUS CONTEST from QATAR AIRWAYS… garbage??? We also got the code but TOTALLY WASTE of time when you try to book a flight… They want to charge me $4500 for the FREE flight… Wasted 20 hours on this and phone people tell you to do yourself online… It’s a SCAM to get 10 Million clicks on their website! Can someone help? TIPS? SECRETS??
CAN I SEE THE LIST OF HEALTH PROFESSIONALS FROM PAKISTAN GETTING PROMO CODE ?
Logged on again, said all the tickets are gone. Today was supposed to be last day. I couldn’t get anything other than an error message every single day.
Ditto.
Anyone able to get any multi-city fares to work (with or without promo code)? I keep getting “No fares found” no matter what I try (e.g., simple stop-over in Doha with round-trip from US->anywhere). Thanks!

I am trying to use the promo code to book tickets for my wife and I. We also have a daughter (2+ yr old) and I am hoping that we can use the promo code to pay for the 2 adult tickets and pay ourselves for the child ticket. Booking system doesn’t allow that for some reason.. has anyone faced same issue?
I won! Tried every day at 5 PM. Lots of error messages, time outs, etc. Eventually I got the “we’ll be in touch in 48 hours” message a couple days ago. Waited a few days and I got an email from Qatar Airways – “Your exclusive promo code for your complimentary tickets”. It states “valid for use by 28 November 2020 for travel until 10 December 2020.”
I am US-based, with a US employer.
Now I just hope countries start opening up so I can use this.
After how many days did the promo code reach you and did it work for you.
We are currently receiving too many requests and unable to successfully accept your submission. Please try again.
Any ideas on how to get through? I bet a lot of scammers are trying to get these too.
Yesterday, I got the message that they’ll be in touch within 48 hours. Who knows what that really means though. Since the form doesn’t clear after an unsuccessful submission, try filling it out a few minutes before 5 Eastern. Then go ahead and hit the button and hope to see the note about all of the country’s allocation being used for the day. That’ll confirm that the system hasn’t switched over yet. Uncheck the two boxes at the bottom, and then check them again. The captcha stays valid, and the submit button becomes clickable once more. I don’t see the need to wait until 5 or 5:01 to try for the first time. I kept doing those steps until it seemed to go through. If it takes more than a few minutes before that’s seen, I’d say call it quits and give it a shot then next day like that.
No luck today.
