Hi everyone,
First time I will be flying on QR and looking to buy tickets but need some advice please
The trip will be
ATH-DOH-MEL-DOH-ATH
Leaving 15 Jul @ 7:15pm, landing 9:25pm
Returning 19 Jul @ 10:55pm, landing 12pm (these are the short stopovers)
Now ITA Matrix shows me the fare below for 1411 EUR per person in economy.

Can anyone advice on this?
Also, is it possible to travel in economy on the ATH legs and the legs between DOH and MEL in business?
Do QR have any package holidays which makes business class tickets cheaper like sometimes with BA?
Thanks all
