As far as I can see on the rules on that ticket it has also flexible conditions. From what I have read EK still has a pretty decent service on that flight. So rightnow I have OSL-DOH-BKK-DOH-OSL in Qatar biz and EK BKK-HKG-BKK F. It was between that and Brunei or Singapore.
Tickets are cheap because they need to compete with TG and CX which have similar fares. There's not much of a hub presence (except for the BKK - SYD flight), so EK needs to discount to fill up planes.

Wait till they start a SIN - HKG flight, then look at the kind of premium fares they charge
