Yes, a month or so ago there was one for SOF. At the time I looked at all there other tag on flights and didn't find anything. This fare was filed July 1, 2013.

The best would be GRU-EZE

Tried to convince Mrs DevilDawg that this would be a fun trip to check out places we have not yet been but she nixed the idea - will have to let this go but look forward to hearing how it works out for others.

Occupy Qatar Business Class!

Looks like another case of Occupy Business Class!

July 2 PNH-DOH
July 3 DOH-SGN
July 5 SGN-DOH-PNH

4th of July in Saigon, sounds like an appropriate place, right??

3 FTs and one semi-FTer booked so far on that combo... 490ish...

btw, if anyone else is looking at booking past July 7th, it is very possible using Qatar's own site, you just gotta fiddle with your PC clock

Great find OP!

Has anyone gotten the free stopover from the fare rules to work? When I try I always get hit with the $140 for the stopover.

I have a party of 3 on July 3 DOH SGN. We do one way PNH DOH SGN with 3 weeks stopover in DOH. My parents (in 70s) are not into MR, we are just doing one way... For 430. Damn the stopover is expensive.

It's tricky, because the flights are at different times on different days. I did PNH-DOH/DOH-SGN/SGN-DOH/DOH-PNH on a Wednesday/Thursday/Saturday/Saturday, with 36 hours in Saigon and three-hour layovers in DOH each way. You have to book multi-city.

Thanks again; reminiscent of the EK MLE-CMB F fares a couple of years ago where they forgot to restrict you to the non-stop. . .
I see something similar for April '13 in 'I' with these fare rules:

CANCELLATIONS

BEFORE DEPARTURE
CHARGE USD 40.00.
NOTE -
PENALTY LEVELS APPLIES IN FULL TO ADULTS CHILDREN
AND INFANTS OCCUPYING A SEAT. NO PENALTIES TO BE
COLLECTED FOR INFANT NOT OCCUPYING A SEAT


Is that correct that I can cancel and refund in full if I change my mind up until the travel date?
Looks like a pretty safe place for US citizens if one decided to stay a few days in DOH

Seems like an intresting run! Anyone know if we can layover for ~ 8 hours in the premium terminal / j lounge on the transit visa as the PHN gets into DOH at 22:30 and DOH - SGN departs at 07:30!

Anyone have experience with the transit hotel courtesy of QR?
Looking to try this route in November!
