- Fare feels too good to be true? Don't call the airline!!!!!!
- Double check that the fare is actually in Business or First as some online search engines or OTA's confuse booking classes on some airlines.
- Post as many details as possible about the First / Business fare, including fare class, fare basis, one-way / roundtrip, sales channel, sample dates & total price, including taxes.
- Post the details within the thread itself and not in the post title field as any information typed here cannot be seen by members accessing the thread using mobile devices.
- Refrain from posting fare requests or engaging in off topic debates such as fare trends, specific aircraft configuration or visa requirements
- The deeply discounted international fares discussed here are almost always specific to a certain country of origin, so don't ask if it works in reverse (e.g. a SFO-LHR-SFO fare usually won't work LHR-SFO-LHR). Domestic fares more commonly work in reverse.
- Last, but not least, Don't call the Airline!

Strange but true. The routing rules I see on a DL fare PVD-SEA (QA07A0SP) are
PVD-ATL/CVG/DTT/MEM/MSP/SLC/NYC/BOS/SEA/RDU-SEA
Also a bit weird to see PVD-RDU in there. I think American once operated that route (as American Eagle?) but, no one operates it right now.
If DL did happen to publish a "direct flight" (same flight number) from PVD-xxx-RDU or PVD-xxx-BOS, that would be eligible for this routing rule, but I don't see any flights like that in October 2013.

Of course, neither of you picked up on:
PVD-ATL/CVG/DTT/MEM/MSP/SLC/NYC/BOS/SEA/RDU-SEA
Also, there are fares filed for slightly higher pricing all the way through April, but for some reason they aren't bookable. Don't know what the restriction it is hitting though.

Not sure how much of a good deal it is cause I usually fly LH or LO but price wise it compares to LO premium economy:
WAW-ORD through LHR (other cities in the US possible) business class - 6390 PLN -> 2040 USD. Sample dates 10 OCT to 14 OCT. Well, if BA keeps these prices and LH keeps downgrading their miles for Y product then I am showing them middle finger.

I think it's promotional though, booking by 3rd October?

Nope
Dates through out Feb. on ITA it only works when booking for 2 passengers rather than 1. Don't really know why! Since an hour ago it started appearing on QR's website and a dummy booking goes all the way through the payment page. Some cheaper fares to LHR are there as well! Around $1350 RT per person. Again I'm only searching in Feb.
No stopover, just a 20hour layover though which is more than enough for DOH IMHO. You have to book as a return rather than a multi-city.
And as far as my experience with the PNH-DOH-SGN and HAN-DOH-BKK, I hope these don't get cancelled. Might pull the trigger on one tomorrow.

I believe QR is doing a companion sale right now, which would explain why you need two people.
