if qatar cant sell a qatar filed fare in hk, some newspapers will probably
write an article about it as the newspapers need to write stories.
the CX town office will sell anything. i told the CX office that someone at the CX RTW desk said they wont do it because the first sector or first long haul is not CX. their reply *really?* to the CX (and QR), they are obligated to sell anything they filed to avoid negative publicity.
none of the 7 tickets that i bought from cx involved cx rtw desk. i have no experience with qr but i personally dont doubt they can do this.
