They're Finally Back: Excellent Qatar Airways Business Class Fares From Europe To Asia

@ James -- You left out the critical part about AA earning -- EQDs.

@ gene - 12,000 miles RT means 2400 EQD, but 1250 EUR is 1400USD. Less some taxes your getting about 1200 extra EQD on the ticket. Nice, but not exactly a game changer.

Anyway to get a routing with entirely Qsuites?

My instinct tells me that there will be a bug fare coming out very soon. Wait for it guys!

I wish it worked in the other direction.

They did have a very good deal to Auckland last year, £1322 Manchester to Auckland. Much better value than these. I’m hoping for more like that.

I’m a dedicated AS flyer, so I am just interested in the Qsuites. I can’t seem to find any other European city for ~1200€ except Milan. Anyone else find any other city pairs? Preferably all in Qsuites?

Also the Al-Safwa lounge does not grant access to people in Qsuites, right?

While the EQDs from this might not be great, this round trip would net you 560 BA Tier points. Just 40 away from BA Silver/OW Sapphire, which grants access to AA flagship and OW lounges on domestic itineraries.

@ richard -- Exactly why I stopped researching the fare. We need another really good long one like LAX-DOH-SIN-DOH-SIN. That I would book! Hoping it comes along in January.

@ richard — I meant LAX-DOH-SIN-DOH-LAX...

I haven't flown the Qsuite yet, but I will never consider a business class seat with your feet confined to a cubby the best business class seat in the world. I think I'm in the minority here, because I absolutely loved the old 777-200LR business class seat from DOH-AKL, probably twice as much as the reverse herringbone seat on the 787 from CPH-DOH. I even love the Virgin Upper Class seat since there's no coffin feel in the regular herringbone config. Don't you guys feel confined in these configurations? I just don't get it...

Does anyone know if Qatar enforces the crazy no show fees? My plan would be to skip lag the return flight to MXP and remain in Doha where I already have an award flight set to a different location. The no show fee on this booking is an insane 1700 eur. My fear would be they charge my card or maybe force me to pay when arriving to take my award flight the next day after my skip. Anyone have any experience with this?

Still doesn't compare to the glorious sales of 2016 and 2017. Used to find J-fares from Europe to SEA and southern Africa for <1200EUR consistently. 2018's been pretty miserable for sales.

That's not even counting the good old BRU-HND for 600 EUR last year, now that was a winner.

South Africa!

Lucky, I am booked on a QR return flight from London to Bangkok in May and while I initially booked QR832 from Doha to Bangkok to fly the A380, that has now been updated to a 777-300ER equipped with q-suites according to my bookings seat map! So hopefully they’re keeping them on the route for good on certain frequencies!

This latest QR deal is already over ... prices are doubled again

This latest QR deal is already over...!

I just checked tonight 7:30pm (London time), 28 Dec, the deal is disappeared, now it is all GBP1900-2000+ return 🙁
not sure if they reset system or just gone.

Have checked this evening (London time) and could find no such deals despite searching extensively for most of 2019.

Tks so much for good advice, booked Mpx/Bkk 12.02.19 return 01.03.19 and confirm Qr830 and Qr 831 with Qsuites, hoping in no any last second swap:)

Now that people are mentioning it, 2018 was a bad year for premium class deals. Anyone know why?

JAMES says: This is the world’s best business class.

LUCKY never sticks his neck out that far by saying "best" but something like "among the best"
