They Loose Your Luggage and
Never Compensate You The information
posted in this web site is my personal experience with the Arabian airline, Qatar Airways, which labels itself as a five star
airline but in reality deserves less than one. Please do not believe any of what Qatar Airways or Airline Qatar
puts in its site web. This Airline Qatar lures the passengers with cheaper fares, then collects more than
the discounts in excess charges Qatar Airways puts on any luggage above 20 kilograms. On October 4, 2007 I traveled from Beijing China to Istanbul Turkey, through Doha,
on Qatar Airways / Airline Qatar. I checked in with two pieces of luggage: • The first piece weighed 7 kilograms (15 pounds), and the claim ticket given
to me by the Beijing Airline Qatar ground crew was QR 338006. When this luggage arrived to Istanbul, I found out that
the number on the label around the luggage was switched to a different number - it was QR 337651. In
these times of heightened security and airline terrorists Qatar Airways violates the basic security procedures which
can be disastrous. • The other piece of luggage weighed 31.5 kilograms (70 pounds). The claim ticket assigned by Airline Qatar for this luggage was QR 338007. The ground crew in Beijing insisted that I pay $460 US dollars for the 11.5 Kilograms excess weight, which exceeded the allowable 20 kilograms. When I demanded an explanation for this excess charges Qatar Airways crew reduced the fee to $300 US Dollars. Although I paid the dues, this piece of luggage never made it to Istanbul Airport and remains one of many lost luggage Qatar Airways' passengers experienced before. I filed a complaint with the Property Irregularity Office of the Airline Qatar Airways, I filed a report with the Istanbul Airport Complaint Dept. and had a Turkish attorney send a certified letter to the Airways Airline Qatar in Istanbul. I also sent three e-mails to their headquarters in Qatar with copies of my complaints. No acknowledgment or response was ever received. What makes matters worse is that the manager, of the Property Irregularity of the Airline flight Qatar Airways
in Istanbul, tried to offer me another passenger's lost luggage as a substitute. This luggage was a small bag weighing
10.3 Kilograms (23 pounds). I refused to touch a bag that did not belong to me. Again, in these times of airline terrorism such behaviour could have severe consequences. Moreover, this is real proof of this Airline Airway Qatar total disregard to its passengers' belongings. I lost thousands of dollars in memorabilia, gifts, camera
equipment, clothes, personal and sentimental items, cash as well as 15 rolls of films and pictures. All my efforts
to retrieve my luggage or get compensated for it were in vain, and went without a response. I took
Qatar Airways to the Civil Court in New York City and I won a judgment over $1,900. Since this is less than a
1/5 of my losses I appealed the the case at the Supreme Court which upheld the Lower Court's decision. Qatar
Airways did not pay the judgement for a whole month, and I was forced to institute a Sheriff's Procedure to ganish
their bank account and force them to pay. In addition to the poor luggage handling, services on board the airline flight were horrible. The contaminated food served on this Arabian airline Qatar can make one very ill. As soon as I reached Istanbul, I became sick and had to go to a hospital for treatment. It took me seven days to recover. Now and after I collected the judgement against that Airways, their attorney is threatining me that if I do not retract this web site, Qatar Airways will go after me for a higher menetary damaged and payment of its attorney's feesamong other relief. These idiots are unaware of the US laws. Please tell your friends and
