British Airways taxes include large nonrefundable imposed surcharges. If I was firm on my plans I’d consider BA, but over $400 nonrefundable I’m not willing to commit.

Is the Alaska website wrong on business availability on Qatar or is there some method to actually book these business fares showing availability per Alaska website

I was able to book SFO-DOH-MLE and MLE-DOH-SFO for November on AS website a few weeks ago. 85K each way. For seat assignments, I had to use the RJ website with the QR confirmation number--the QR board discusses this.

Although I could pull up SFO-DOH and DOH-SFO for 70K on AA with AA miles, there was no way the get the MLE legs for any date.
