I appear to have a confirmed booking for CAI-BKK for EGP9873 (according to the notes in myflights) for a weds-sun trip in January. All booked in A class, but the CAI-DOH is on the 77W that seats in business (2x2x2). The QR PNR came through straight away, and I've selected seats. No eticket number showing yet.
Now, how to get to CAI from LHR!

Ticket number is showing on the Qatar site for me, in the passenger details box, next to seat selections.
Quite a result if it stays.

I quite fancy the SYD one, but can't justify the time off

Fill your boots indeed. An elegant sentiment: though I hope greed hasn't prevented due diligence of the costs,faff and potential for upset of the Cairo connection....
Avios to Cairo then a one way home via Doha seems the best bet - though beware back-to-back on QR at CAI.

If you have online banking go and check your "pending charges", this should be what it will be charged, although there are no guarantees I believe, as QR my update the final charge? Or call your credit card bank and ask what is the incoming charge. The final charge may take a few days to post though, especially with the weekend.
I'm an idiot for not thinking this through first...

Why do you say that, is it particularly problematic?
I'm considering doing B2B at CAI (to do BKK and CDG in the same long weekend) so would be useful to hear anyone's experiences on this. Looks to be the same aircraft operating with a 2hr35 stopover...

with the possibility of premium seats ex CAI on QR I looked at CAI-EZE as I need to be there for work anyway https://goo.gl/flights/1hUs
prices up on google flights and ITA Matrix but won't price up on qatar site or via bookwithmatrix
Shame as thats a great price for business and First (£1136)
So I get the feeling that QR are wise to this and are maybe blocking ex CAI routes.
If anyone else knows of a way to price this or get it to ticket would be great!

Have issued several QR tickets now (as in, ticketed, not just pending)
Dunno - I issued about 10 so far, combinations of first and business longhaul and ultralonghauls. SYD, LAX, HKT, HND, and AKL. Went back in today and saw the SYD F (booked in A) fares had dropped US$200 each so I voided my old ones and reissued at the lower rate.
Issued directly in Worldspan so the worst they can do is cancel/void them out once they see what's going on and make a decision.
I'm holding off on my positioning flights to CAI for several days just in case.
(Incidentally, I sure wish it was easier to get to than it appears to be! And, why no back-to-backs at CAI?)

Seems if you use Kayak and leave it to run the full course it will pick up your flights bookable on Travelpack
