Qatar airways - checked baggage

Hello,

I will be travelling from Canada to Doha by qatar airways.

Does anyone know if I can use cardboard boxes as checked luggage rather than a suitcase.

I will make sure it is well wrapped and tied and is not going to tear.

Has anyone encountered problems?

Thanks

They may just ask you to sign a document through which they may absolve themselves of responsibility should the cartons get damaged during transit. As such, suggest you do not put any valuable items in the carton boxes.

Another strange question. I am assuming that you have travelled on airlines before.

I don't think there should be any problems. I have traveled with items stuffed in card board cartons and faced no problems at all at the airport, but they were strong ones. I suggest you ask the airline people in your city and they would advise you best. Rules may differ from country to country.
