Airlines in the Middle East have offered free changes and rebookings due to the Iran War, which flared up at the end of February and is currently “paused” (but can restart any time).

Qatar Airways previously extended the booking window for its flexible, fee-free rebooking policy, but it has now ended for tickets issued on or after May 16, 2026.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on LoyaltyLobby.
