Qatar at 550-600 pounds.
Emirates 700 pounds plus.

What is Tim Clark thinking, I like Emirates and have been gold for a few years now. With falling standards and prices like that who in there right mind would pay it. Still I suppose somebody must be as the profit sheet says.

I am about to book with Qatar, probably tonight, looks like I won't even retain Silver this year with Emirates. Bye Bye Emirates, it was good while it lasted.

Hi Fireman, are you comparing prices that were quoted to you or list prices? I am asking because you might have been quoted EK prices on flights that were close to full (for whatever reason) which results in higher fares.

Only if you compare the list prices (can be found on expertflyer for example) you hypothesis is valid and we could start the discussion..
