Has anyone else booked travel this year on Qatar using miles from American?
I had done this last year and had no issues with submitting my rifle and ammunition information to Qatar to obtain their approval to travel with a firearm. Same situation where I used American miles to book Qatar flights. Itinerary is only Qatar flights of Seattle-Doha-Johannesburg (and same on return).
This year though, Qatar seems to be saying they will only approve travel with firearms when the tickets are booked by Qatar. This was not an issue for me last year so its either a change or a front line reservations agent being incorrect. Just wondering if someone else had run in to this and already figured out how to fix it?
I can get if they refuse to take firearms if the itinerary included another carrier, but the two flights I have are both on Qatar. This was pretty easy last year other than their slow turnaround time. An agent stated that nothing changed in their policies since last year but couldn't explain how this worked for me last year.
