Quite right! Also the fact that EY have to route twice through Europe can be very advantageous and make it much more convenient than flying QR. For example I live in London, my itinerary to Seoul in March allows me to simply hop over to ARN and back same day with passport and wallet, be back in my bed the same night, then fly LHR-AUH-ICN the following day. Plus even better on the way back I can also route through LHR and drop the last leg, all of that is not possible with QR, hence I love these EY fares.
