Original premium fare deal was for QR J class travel, originating in Vietnam (SGN and HAN) to several destinations across the Americas, Europe, and Africa. Travel period 8/2017 - 3/2018 inclusive, RT fares in the USD 500 - 700 range (USD $0.05 base fare).
Reports have now been circulating that all held, non-purchased fares have been canceled by the airline. Some held and then purchased fares were also canceled, but several reports indicate at least some of those have been re-instated.

Interesting. So just to confirm - even though your fare was less than $400 OW (T&C say RT price / 2) and your layover was less than 12 hours they still offered you STPC? Was transit provided too or did you cover that?
Has ayone been denied an STPC on this fare specifically due to the price being below the the price threshold stated in the T&Cs?

Checked in online and it only gave me a boarding pass for SGN-DOH (and not DOH-USA) even though I'm showing as checked in for both segments.
EDIT: Nevermind. The "Boarding Pass" attachment they emailed me is just instructions to proceed to document check...

I did run into a ton of issues trying to submit the refund request using the 'Cancel / Request Refund' button in the Manage Booking section on QR's website. I ended up having to call customer service to fully process the cancellation and start the refund process.

Starting this one today with positioning, 2 trips upcoming. Flying (AMS - DOH - ) SGN - DOH - GRU - DOH - SGN - DOH - JFK - DOH - SGN ( - DOH - AMS) in the next two and a half weeks, my most insane itin so far 
.
If anyone is somewhere on the route as well and is up for meeting up, ping me

For those that haven't transited DOH yet the Doha airport really is incredible. Excellent layout for transfers to connecting flights, short walking distances, few delays due to weather / congestion... The Al Mourjan Business Lounge is perfect for getting work done too ^
Definitely enough of a win to make me lean towards patronizing QR in the future for routings where EY/EK/QR are all options.
For oneworld fans the efficiency is comparable to NRT and HEL.

Anyone successfully use the transfer desk at SGN rather than clearing immigration and customs / checking in for their next flight landside?
I've only been able to find transfer info for Vietnam Airlines passengers. In my specific case I'm arriving on QR DOH-SGN and then transferring to a Scoot flight SGN-SIN that departs 3+ hours later. Scoot only offers online check in when originating in SIN so I won't have a boarding pass.
EDIT: Transfer desk at SGN seems to only handle passengers connecting to a very short list of airlines (including VN and QR). Had to clear customs & immigration and check in there.
