SIN-DPS discontinued?
QR has flown their 777 between Singapore and Denpasar Bali. I am attempting to buy tickets for this flight in October. ITA gives me a schedule, flight numbers and prices. But when I try to book via the QR website or a travel agent, the flights cannot be found.
I'd be grateful if you could help me. Do these direct 5th freedom flights still exist?
The dates I'm looking for are 20th Oct SIN-DPS and 24th Oct DPS-SIN.

Found the answer – they will indeed stop the flights in July this year.

Instead, they will fly directly from Doha to Bali.

I fly this route approximately 3-4 times a year in business class. The SIN-DPS-SIN legs are often very empty in business class (maybe 25% load max) but the flight appears better supported in economy.
I have mixed feelings about the change. I am flying in June on the existing routing via Singapore and then next in September/October. I have checked these flights out and they are showing the A330 which I am not too thrilled about for a 10 hour flight. May have to use another carrier for those flights.
The 787 sounds great from October onwards.

The only other cheap carrier on this route is AF.

Anyone notice they refer to him as His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker? What's next? King Akbar Al Baker? He does seem to whine to the media about how everyone but himself is a liar whenever Qatar's working conditions are questioned.
