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").

historically, their golden tickets are for economy only with O subclass

regardless, I hope this get honored even though I'm late to the party


edit: that's appearing to be a golden ticket indeed, my mistake

Yes it is coincident with golden tix promo. But how the hell they promo on all routing and almost everyday. Yes they are going to put 0 fare on SOME route on SOME date but screw up a lil.... is that I heard from QR office near me
You've got to be joking me.

There have been many Qatar error fares that have been honored.

But at least we know one reason if this one happens not to be: because of people like you.

So what? Very simple: Your behaviour does not help anyone, there is no benefit to anyone thanks to your actions.

Have these fares been pulled now ?
I am in Thailand with 2 others around these dates and could move my return flight and nest one of these to Europe in the middle - but I suspect I'm way too late to the party.
Ignored when I first saw as thought it was only to North & South America. What a jackass.

as for Ben: don't be too hard on him. he has 2 mouths to feed and keep in constant motion worldwide at 5* luxury. those affiliate links aren't gonna click themselves...

People can be such idiots on Social Media. Plenty of serious reasons not to do that with any booking.

As of an hour ago, QR replied to someone on Twitter that there are other surprises pending...this should be interesting.

Couldn't get dates to work for Europe with this initial promo; hopefully, there are more tickets/origins being released.

same here, I think it's a normal process, a bit over the top. I've filled it out already.

A; The wait is not that far: please stay tuned
