I'm going to BKK and HKT with QR this summer.
In the middle of that, I currently have flights to/from REP booked with Air Asia.
I would happily drop those and lose the money if I was able to get a 5th freedom flight (is that the right term?) to REP with QR from BKK or HKT.
Do QR presume they will have sufficient passenger loads from DOH to REP to justify direct flights?
