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").

Booked - I'm assuming there's going to be a Wiki on this so I'll put my dates in to see if anyone else will be on my flights.

QR 791 Nov 5
QR 703 Nov 6
QR 704 Nov 7
QR 970 Nov 9

Quick turn in JFK obviously, but considering we'll be lie-flat the whole way I'm not too concerned with being tired but only time will tell.

Cheers!

HAN inventory seems gone now too.

I took way too long trying to get something to work. Unfortunately, from the US, getting to and from Vietnam takes about two days each way, so trying to get logistics in place to make something worked was a bit too hard. I have something on hold, but I would need to burn 4 vacation days and I don't think I can justify that.

Yeah looks like sgn and han are both gone. Only seeing J savers on the Qatar website now, no more J promos.

Yep, it all dried up in a matter of seconds. Seems as if the cheap fares were all pulled simultaneously

I am seeing very rare availability now. The calendar on google flights was full, i went to another month for a return and poof gone. Thanks to the OP and great work to all those who got the golden ticket.

This. Congrats to everyone who booked!

QR has been offering loads of cheap biz fares APAC-Europe lately and it's nice to see them finally include some deals to US destinations ^^

definitely all "golden tickets" are gone. Unless someone finds some hidden ones?

Dito - and somehow glad I did take too much time, since although this fare is (was) extremely attractive it would have meant another made schedule.

At least that's the way I comfort myself! Congrats to all who didn't hesitate ^
