I'm flying CMB-DOH-BOS on the promotional (R class) Business fare in November. The only connection that is "immediate" leaves CMB at 0325A, as the DOH-BOS leg is an 0800A departure, and it's only once per day.

I can't physically leave CMB at 325A, since I won't be there yet. all other CMB-DOH departures later that day would meet the 8:00 layover requirement, as I wait overnight for the DOH-BOS flight the next day.

So- is QR looking at ANY combination of inbound / connecting flights, and if even ONE combination exists, they would deny the STPC? Or are they starting from the 1st leg that you DO book (ie, CMB-DOH) and seeing when the first available connection flight is from that time forward? I am not delaying the 2nd leg- I'm taking the first DOH-BOS out that operates.

There's no shenanigans here, infact I didn't even realize QR had this program until I booked the ticket and started perusing the QR board. I will probably just go into the city anyways and cab back to the airport and enjoy the lounge. But I thought I would try and get further clarification before I call them. thanks!
