Anyone have experience with the Algerian visa process? Looks like $160 USD for most western countries...

According to VisaHQ, they only issue single-entry, three month validity tourism ones.

how about a mileage run? I won't leave airport, I will fly from yyz-alg by air france for $3162CAD, from alg-foc for $450CAD. so spending less than $4000CAD for a lot mileages.

Got it!

Just booked it! For ALG you can transit through the airport without needing a visa, you need your onwards ticket but and no Israeli Stamp or Passport. I have a friend in Algiers, maybe I will go there earlier.

The ALG_DOH leg is in Business, but the seat they assigned me is 2A, from the cabin map is actually a First Class seat (on a330 and a340), sadly I will not get First Class lounge in DOH then.

Is somebody doing this trip on the 3rd of February or returning on the 8th of February? Could be fun to spend some time chatting about miles!

Booked a one-way that lined up nicely with a planned trip to HKG. Ticketed and confirmed through CheapO (QR.com didn't price out for some reason, although it did on other dates).

Thanks. Found in October as well. Let's see what happens with the bookings. Guess QR staff is working on a Sunday.

QR has a history of not honoring sale prices, but good luck to those that get it.
