DOH to BEY award availability
Hi all,
I'm trying to book a last minute business/first award from DOH to BEY between now and August 4th on the daily evening flight (QR 422 at 8:55pm), preferably on July 31 or Aug 2nd.
There seems to be no award availability until August 11th, despite the premium cabins being almost completely empty. A one way ticket is $1,470 US.
Does anyone have experience on whether Qatar is just trying to be greedy or if they will eventually release an award seat?
Thanks in advance for replies.

Yes, this is what I have noticed. Qatar has blocked all short haul awards to/from Doha until August 11th.
Do they really think they will sell out all of the F cabins when each flight has 8+ seats still available for sale less than a week out?
Why not open a seat or two and get some form of revenue instead of none at all.
