Anca Țurcașiu and her partner, stuck in Qatar due to the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, announced on Wednesday, March 4, that they had found tickets to return to Romania.
“That’s it, my dears! We managed to calm down. After many hours spent today at the airport, with representatives from Qatar (no Qatar Airlines), we managed to find return tickets to Bucharest on the 11th, via China, Istanbul, it doesn’t matter.
The idea is that we will reach Bucharest, finally. Mrs. Ambassador Daniela Băzăvan was always with us, we thank her!”, sent this on Facebook.
She announced that she needed to extend her visa on Thursday morning.
We recall that loud explosions were heard in Doha, Dubai and Abu Dhabi on Tuesday evening, according to AFP journalists and local witnesses, as Iran continues its campaign of missile and drone attacks in the Gulf region. That is why Qatar Airways flights have been suspended.
Fortunately for tourists stranded in Doha, the State of Qatar will cover their accommodation. The Qatar Tourism Authority thanked the hotel units for their cooperation in hosting them, according to consultant Răzvan Pascu.
”Given the current circumstances and the fact that some guests have ended their stay but are unable to leave due to travel restrictions, you are kindly requested to extend their stay from February 28 until airport operations resume and airspace reopens.
Qatar Tourism will cover the additional costs incurred as the safety, security and well-being of all visitors remain among our top priorities. Our responsible team will be in direct contact with you to provide the necessary guidance and support. We sincerely appreciate your continued cooperation and flexibility during this time, se says Qatar Tourism’s message.
