Smile QR J DMM-ATL r/t $1256; book by 5/22

I just purchased a round trip business class ticket DMM-ATL-DMM June 11 to 16 for $1,256 a.i.. Not sure why this is so low accept that QR is starting service to ATL on June 1. I got an 18% discount off the regular promotional fare using a Company Discount. You should be able to get comparable fares for about $1,440 r/t.

Anyone know if I can interline bags from QR to UA and UA to QR ?

Bags, no mate unfortunately, I tried exactly that recently and neither party interested. I think the *A and OW thing comes in to play. Either way, if your first port of call in the USA is ATL you'll still have to do the whole immigration thing at ATL and collect your bags yourself and dump them onto another belt, but in your case, re-check.

For the non-ACGs (Airport Code Geeks), DMM is Damman: so this fare might be out the running for many readers.

Reposition flight from North America is expensive. This fare is nice. Not sure how can I leverage it.

Well you will either need a transit visa(which most probably wouldn't work) or a business visa. Business visas are easy to get if you have any sort of connections there. Tourist visas are out since this is KSA. I have a few friends in Saudi Arabia; so maybe they could leverage this somehow.

Ok. Forget about this then. Won't work.

Smile QR DMM-ATL-DMM J $1,440 valid thru 1/2017

Folks I was wrong when I said this promotion ended on 5/22/16. I did some sample bookings today and I found this J fare of $1440 DMM-ATL-DMM valid even on flights during the Christmas season (DEC 23 thru DEC 310.
