Since Tuesday and until Monday, May 18, caregivers can try to get a round trip to the destination of their choice by registering on the airline's website, explains BFM TV.

As we've been taking people home, nurses and other frontline healthcare heroes have been taking care of people.

This is not a competition, Qatar Airways assures that first come, first served. However, the offer is aimed at caregivers around the world and a quota of tickets is allocated per country. Every day at midnight, the airline company will make a certain amount of tickets available.

Up to two return tickets in eco class

Thus, doctors, nurses, nursing assistants or even paramedics can claim to benefit from this offer in economy class. The airline offers up to two round trip tickets to any destination in the world with a possible departure until December 10.

A professional card will be requested at the company counter just before departure to avoid fraud. "Boarding will be refused if a customer does not provide it," said the company, cited by BFM TV.
