From Germany (FRA/MUC) to DOH there's a complete absence of redemption seats - in any class - from ~12 Dec until 31 Dec. This shouldn't come as a complete surprise, but still

A small glitch, as shown by the image in shorthauldad's post: ba.com is displaying the RJ logo against the QR flights.

Just booked 2 seats KUL-DOH-LHR-MAN. Business to DOH then F to LHR. Came in at 200k Avios + £320. Showed available online but had to call to book.

Here's hoping. Got a few booked for the second week of Nov. Quite interested to see QR's J product again. It's been 18 months or so.

for the people who have booked by calling, since still cannot book online, were you charged a fuel surcharge? I'm looking into booking some DXB-DOH and DOH-AUH flights and it would suck if they charged a YQ on those flights.

You're charged YQ when you redeem Avios with CX. Who doesn't charge YQ on Avios redemptions?

I'm on QR in December from LHR-SIN in restricted business class I bucket for the bargain fare of £2038. Fantastic saving over the BA fares for the same dates, but admittedly longer trips. However the 560 TPs sweeten the deal. I have checked other trips to the east that I will be taking next year and open jaw fares don't beat BA. Very interesting alternative One World member though and I for one welcome our new Qatari overlords into the alliance.
