[PREM FARE GONE] QR from LAX: very cheap fares

It seems like QR is having ridiculously cheap fares to many destinations via DOH. Some book in D and some in I depending on the destination. Many dates available over the next few months. Samples:

LAX-IKA: $973 (this ought to be good news for the residents of Irangeles )
LAX-TRV: $1722
LAX-ATH: $1876
LAX-TBS: $1155
LAX-SIN: $1681 (if you're okay connecting through DOH, although it might be a good mileage run on oneworld)
LAX-MNL: $1743 (again, flying the long route via DOH)
LAX-JNB: $2101

Fantastic deal. Thanks so much for posting this.

Just booked LAX SIN for US$1,885. Paid the extra $200 for the free rebooking.

Thanks for sharing! Has anyone found any other EU destinations besides ATH? Checked all the big northern airports and nothing.

Great Fare. Thanks OP.

Advise to those who are still thinking if they should book. Don't wait. Just use those OTA with free 24 hour holds to grab one first. Thats how I managed to secure my spot for the previous BKK-LAX $1490 fare. It was pulled at about 36 hours after it was posted.

Damn! In the time I was taking to decide where to go and when, the fares disappeared. Next time, I should book a ticket and then post on FT!
