When booking a multi city itinerary on QRs website it seems that there's no way to choose the type of business fare ... You select the flights before it prices them , but when getting the price you only get two options 'Best Fare' or 'Unrestricted Fare'
Best Fare is the lowest available, so may be the dreaded 'Business Lite' ... Unrestricted comes out as crazy $$ .. Unlike booking a oneway or roundtrip you don't get the option to choose the actual fare type ( In fact I don't think it shows you at all what type of fare you're booking so unless you knew you could end up booking a 'Lite' fare by accident )
Specifically on the itinerary I'm looking for on the outbound leg there's a few hours layover in Doha and the difference between Lite and 'Comfort' is around $50 so clearly an obvious choice, but they won't allow it online unless I'm missing something ... On the inbound the layover in Doha is very short so probably no issue. ( I'm OWE anyway so could have some sort of lounge I think and the seat selection would be okay ?)
I guess to do what I want , booking the not lowest fare on a multi city business class ticket, then I'll have to call up
