Well there are good reasons to post on weekend. However, this was fixed TODAY by QR, after roughly 4 hours it was posted on the web. Very sad news - someone is really tracking web, because the availability was very scarce and i doubt it was the inventory system that alerted revenue management (ie a lot of bookings on the same route/ same fare alert - simply not possible here because of low availability).

Wow - I thought this was a legitimate sale
I did not get on this, but I actually really thought that this was a legitimate promo fare by QR out of Russia (since the country is not doing so well - as I see it) - I know it was a low fare - but since I have seen economy fares from Russia to JPN around the 300 euro range, this makes the Biz promo fare not too shockingly low 
Anyway, good luck to those that got in...
Cheers!

This fare was posted as early as yesterday, almost 24 hours ago.
Thanks mlqsko for bringing it to the premium fare deals section, in my excitement I completely forgot to do so last night.

Just be careful with those QR fares from DME and don't make other travel arrangements and non-ref hotel bookings. In February I booked DME-CGK-DME on QR for about 600 eur in business RT. My flight was supposed to be on 19/03 and 3 days prior to that I received e-mail notification from QR about my ticket cancellation.
QR offered no apology, no compensation (besides 10% discount for J fare on the same route), no intention to off sett incurred costs. Take into account there is 0 customer protection in Russia and here we are.

Yeah agreed, visa process for US Citizens is a bunch of red tape. The page on passport and visas from the state department reads like a frikin novel with warnings left and right.

The tickets cancelled from Russia after a month were in J class (mostly) and ppl quickly filled in all cabin on hot dates for MOW-DOH route. That was in my view the main reason to cancel. This one is R and desprite they noticed and removed the fare i would not expect they sold too many to worry.
