You would think/hope so, but
Earlier today I looked at QR's YQ for OSL-xDOH-LAX and it came to a whopping USD370
(USD222 !! for OSL-DOH and USD 148 for DOH-LAX)
Looking at the reverse, it is even worse
- the YQ for LAX-DOH is USD609 (What the...!!)
- the YQ for DOH-OSL is only(!) USD96
The rules actually have a list of cities that are considered "west coast" cities for the purposes of this rule, and another list of cities that are considered "east coast" cities for the rule. There are occasionally opportunities to game this when nonstop service is added, but they forget to add the city to the appropriate list in the rule. I've done it with back-to-backs LAX-RDU-LAX and LAX-MBJ-LAX.
Fair point.
