For the ask above about changes to add a stopover, the change fee is only $50 (quite reasonable) and the no show fee is much higher (either $250 or $500). I'd work with QR to try to make a change, it should be that the last segment is priced at the historical fare you have now and so only $50 is due, and if you try to do this online prior to departure it may not be correctly calculating. Again, I'd suggest trying to call QR by phone to work this out. BTW, many of the older dirt cheap QR and EY fares ex-CMB had strict notes in the fare rules about no stopovers and no ability to short check luggage to DOH. So the fact that this one allows a SO, even if short is pretty nice.

This is now around $1715 USD for 1 passenger. I just got it for $1608 USD with the current promo code discount.
CMB-DOH on SriLankan for variety and because I like them. 2 night stop over in Doha. Head to PHL. Return from JFK on QSuites.
It was tempting to get all through PHL for an incredible ~$1225, but I felt it would be stupid to not try QSuites on the way back for this price.

you will get miles, but on the Asiamiles oneworld partner chart for Qatar Airways, so 125% - for the roundtrip about 22500 miles, rather than double miles on QRPC.

When I bought last night, it asked me if I wanted to be charged in USD or LKR. But I have US credit card and could be one of those credit card options to be charged in local currency, there was a disclaimer that said it will incur a 2.8% fee. I chose LKR as my card has no forex fees.

Booked the fare for 2 people with a long stop in Doha on both outbound and inbound. Has anyone tried booking a hotel through the Qatar+ program for both ways (outbound under one passenger and inbound under the other)?

Can anyone find anything better than the $1200 (using QRSUBSCRIBER) fares between CMB-PHL...wondering if the Europe to Australia fares might be a better bet? or ex-ALG fares.

I was able to price out 2 adults and 3 children under 12 for $5250 all in with the discount. That's crazy, $1050 per person roundtrip. This is cheaper than the old CMBSPL NW fare about 10 years ago and involves a far better seat. Too many cheap fares ex-EU and ex-Asia, and not enough time...
