Qatar would be handling the transportation of fans to and from the venues free of charge and through the Hayya application. The FIFA World Cup organizing committee had specified regulations concerning luggage, therefore, travellers are advised to bring only carry-on baggage during their trip, he noted.

Economy class travellers are allowed to carry luggage not exceeding 7 kg, while business and first class are allowed to carry bags not exceeding 10 and 15 kg respectively. Those who have extended their stay in Qatar are allowed to bring a suitable amount of luggage and could book their tickets according to the regular flights between Kuwait and Doha, Razouqi said.
