Just booked a second flight for December 17th with a return on January 2nd for the same fare, so seems it is extended into the new year...there is some variation on pricing depending on day of week, naturally, but fares are still crazy low. For comparison: BKK-DOH-PHL-DOH-BKK on the same dates are pushing $5,400!
Now just need to figure out where to bank these miles...
Agreed that current price for ex-BKK is ridiculous those days, and def worth $250ish UL flights to CMB (+ extras if you want to upgrade to J and I fare class to earn more toward any OW airline status).
Hopefully this price stay same for early-mid 2019, since I don't think I am going to pursue status this year due to too many F/J award flights
