I know it is a lot of miles but I have a lot of miles so may choose to do it. My question is has anyone recently booked a QR business award on the AS site and had it go through? I am curious because if all of this is phantom, I need to look at other avenues. I hesitate to do a phantom booking only because I don't want it to cost me the $25 non-refundable service fee. Thanks!!
255k is Qatar's "sure, we'll let you book it since it's not saver, it's practically revenue last seat, ahahahahahaha" rate. And you don't get charged $25 online if you can't book it online.
