Just thought i'd add a little more to this QR saga.

They're doing 50% off Qmiles redemptions at moment. Hence LHR-DOH is uauslly 110k Qmiles in F, so this can be had for only 55k Qmiles.

Now 55k Qmiles can be had by transferring from SPG points.

So 45k SPG points for a first class QR flight. Not bad, and QR F is supposed to be very good (the inflight bar/lounge is actually a seperate section rather than the lame VS effort).

Unfortunately it doesnt seem as if the special offer feeds through to bmi redemptions, otherwise it'd be only 40k bmi for an F ticket!
