Original premium fare deal was for QR J class travel, originating in Vietnam (SGN and HAN) to several destinations across the Americas, Europe, and Africa. Travel period 8/2017 - 3/2018 inclusive, RT fares in the USD 500 - 700 range (USD $0.05 base fare).
Reports have now been circulating that all held, non-purchased fares have been canceled by the airline. Some held and then purchased fares were also canceled, but several reports indicate at least some of those have been re-instated.

well BRU/AMS-TYO and OSL-BKK were nearly same price but restricted routes and and not wide open like today. so fingers crossed they still honor it. Its been a big hype on the Asia facebook and online platforms. So I guess there are more bookings as we think...

Yep. Saw the flurry of activity on my commute this AM here in Germany. By the time I could sit and focus on dates, all options were gone. Vietnam is certainly still on our list of must-visit locations!
Enjoy the flights, everyone!

If the airline should decide on actions that won't "cripple" them, then cancellation will always be the airline's choice.
(Pissing off 1200 opportunists won't really cripple the airline)

There's no e-ticket listed anywhere. In the confirmation email and on the QR website, it says Passenger Name/E-Ticket #, and below that is my name, but nothing but white space after that.
