We have been flying home for the past 6 years with Emirates Airways, this year the school decided to use the "FIVE STAR AIRWAYS" because they were the cheapest...
A week ago, there was an article in the Kuwait Times about the expected exodus and that Kuwait Airways Company are allowing their passengers to go to the airport after midnight the day before they travel to check in their baggage, in order to avoid the long queues.
I wanted to check in last night - after midnight. I called the airport office of Qatar Airways yesterday morning, just to waste my time because nobody bothered to answer their phones. Eventually I got hold of another number. Spot on Pop! It was Qatar Airways! Just to be given another number: 22901777.
I called the number, the woman on the other side, sounded as if she knew what she was doing.
I asked her specifically if it will be allowed to check in our baggage after midnight for today's flight, not the online check in for passengers and she confirmed. In the mean time, I was trying to check in online.
At first, it kept on telling me that the web site had a problem, to try again later...
Then eventually, I was able to go to the next page, but only to check in for our connecting flight from Doha...
I kept on trying and trying to check in from Kuwait to Doha. No luck!!! Up to now I am unable to check in online on their "Fast and Easy System" WHAT A JOKE!!!
So at 12.30AM, we were at the airport this morning to check in our baggage. Just to be told by the ground staff that it was impossible to check in "so early". They referred me to the Qatar Airways office on the 1st floor. Got to the office, and the guy just said: "No, it cannot be done!" No apologies for the incompetent staff member on the phone who confirmed that it COULD be done. Instead, he just shook his head with a grin on his face!
This WILL be the last time that we will be traveling Qatar Airways!
