Ridiculously good J prices on this one, if work wasn't so crazy right now I'd be all over this.

It will be interesting to see if they honour this. Sounds a bit like an error fare - but you never know with QR!

I was so angry at myself for waking up late to this, one would have thought 5:30BST was a normal wake up time, but apparently 40 mins late to the party.

Gutted I missed this. Could have booked a OW CAI-NRT with EY in F for 1300 and used this for the return.

What would be a 'good' ex EU price to NYC/BOS?

Hi all

We are looking at an ex-EU trip to the US next Spring. What do we reckon is a good price to aim for, and seize if I see it? Preferably starting in the 'near' continent, so AMS, BRU, PAR, Germany etc.

We've done ex-DUB a few times for around 1200 - Am happy with that price but would like to try somewhere different next time.

ScruttonStreet would you consider exEU in WT+ and using Avios to upgrade? You can get under 500.00 from Oslo? JFK quite easy to get J Reward seats..

I was looking at this as soon as it was launched. BUt just couldnt get anything that suited. I was looking at GRU and EZE but I was in the UK so getting to SGN to then head back over past the UK again seemed a bit pointless, we then tried CPT but then we are also going there in DEC so as much as I reaaaallllyyy wanted to get this to work I just couldnt find anything that would work as I would to have needed to get to SGN first lol

One thing I did spot though was if you flew from Hanoi it made a technical stop at BKK for an hour but it was marketed as two different flights QR 845 and QR 843 I believe then onto Doha,

Am I right in thinking this would be 140 + 140 +40 x2 as it has different flight numbers or still classed as 140 + 140 x2

Different flight numbers count as separate flights, hence extra TPs

All the one gutted for missing on the ex-SGN QR fare, you might have missed the headache of getting refunded. Tickets and hold are being cancelled (not all though). It is possible this "Golden Ticket" promo was ex-SGN to specific destinations but was filed network wide by error.

Potentially yes, tho we will be five travelling together and availability might be tricky.

it was defo not network wide, many destinations excluded
in NA LAX IAH IAD YUL BOS
in Asia TYO ICN PEK PVG
no AUS OR NZ
prob several EU, but only checked a small sample (and ticketed BCN).

Question on if mostly academic interest - did they intend for it to have as many destinations as it did? We prob won't know.

Was as it a hell of a sale, yeah!! Now getting the hang of positioning, visas etc
