But if I do two searches - ATH-DOH, then DOH-SYD the surcharges list as $AUD379, then $AUD343 respectively still with Qatar - a saving of $AUD687/person. Is this correct? If we stay in DOH for a couple of days, will those lower surcharges stand? I'd prefer to fly Qatar business class on that long haul.
Any advice much appreciated.
I just did a dummy search and calculated taxes similar to yours so yes in this case I'd believe adding a stopover (>24hrs) in DOH reduces the YQ greatly.

FYI the figures may be slightly different depending on your ticketing carrier but pretty close. Good find!
