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.

For more information on flying Qatar Airways, visit the FT forum: Qatar Airways | Privilege Club. This thread in that forum is especially useful: Qatar Airways Forum Dashboard.

This wikipost is intended to help us better understand if there are any trends (by route, travel date, and/or held/ticketed status) in these cancellations. In all entries, please include: outbound or inbound departure date, origin-destination, original ticket status (only *if* "Held" or "Ticketed after Hold"), and current ticket status only *if* your ticket was cancelled ("Cancelled" or "Cancelled & Reinstated").

Deal looks to be dead, I've tried every routing that previously worked as well as new routings... lasted only about 3-4 hours.

It's definitely available on QR's website, and very very tempting. Under 700 USD for a RT to JFK!

Finally a promo ex-Asia! (Unlike SQ/CX etc)


Held SGN-DFW. Not too comfortable with the dates but will sleep on it first. Still makes sense as a one-way

Lucky had posted that on his blog, but perhaps it was a temporary glitch. This Is great news!

I'll be holding and sleeping on SGN-SEZ. That'd be my third one 😁

GREAT FIND!! Thank you!!

Although...

I see that the fares involving Brazil have YQ. I thought that was illegal??? Perhaps after travel can file a request for YQ refund?

From my experience you have zero shot. Hope for a schedule change.

Is the 8 hour talk from the +Qatar program? If so, I see 12 hours, and only until Sept 30.

Let's hope they honor the hold option they present on their website!
