An Indian student has praised Qatar Airways after receiving food and beverage coupons during a layover at Doha airport, calling the gesture a thoughtful way of making student travellers feel acknowledged and special.
“Qatar Airways, I think we really need to have a word. I’ve never heard of something similar from another airline. Guess what? Guess who just got free food! I mean, I think more than the feeling of getting free food, it’s just the feeling of being acknowledged, the feeling of—the feeling of being felt special. I love it! I am booking all my student flights in Qatar from now on. Her reaction captured how even a relatively small gesture can shape a passenger’s overall travel experience, particularly for students who often plan international journeys on tight budgets.
Because what do you mean that for students traveling on one of your flights with a layover in Doha Airport, you offer us food and beverage coupons?
