hei there.
This is a BA Ticket issued on Ba stock for flying on BA marketed flights.
QR is the operating carrier but to be extremely clear BA sold you a ticket to fly BA flights (even though not operated by them).
So basically you are paying BA to fly BA flights. If this is a mistake, then BA will have to handle it.
As far as I can see QR is not immediately involved in terms of honouring it or not.
cheers

I purchased 2 of these tickets in this flash sale. I have the confirmation email from BA with eticket numbers and booking reference.
Unfortunately I can't seem to reserve specific seats on the Qatar website - anyone know how to do this please?

Although aware the fare is now gone, how did you get it up?
Flight matrix only comes up with 1 stop (DOH), if I use route code LHR DOH (and the reverse) it says no search results. BA won't come up with anything through the normal front web site search or holidays?

I also bought the PRG-MEX but IIRC I did not suffer any exchange currency loss.

I noticed this for the first time on a BA booking yesterday :
‘Very important information
If you do not check your bags through to your final destination you may incur additional charges’

I get the feeling this was a cheeky flash sale on a new route/codeshare. People are acting like marked fare differences between code share partners never happens, when it happens every day. Has anyone been ticketed?
