Not totally dead, still available end of November and December. Also JFK-TBS is about ~$2000USD

Yeah there’s been reports of QR sort of going back and some agents saying you can’t make that change because “it’s not in the spirit” of the new policy. I don’t want to have to HUCA time and time again. I’ll take my one itinerary.

Finally booked on Qatar site, phl-kbp. After 3x $30 calls to Qatar call center in Doha (US call center closed at 6pm est), an agent finally changed my flight with no questions asked to Lax-Bkk. Thanks everyone!

Why are they shuttling everyone into the LAX-BKK route? That’s the one I got too even though I wanted PNH they refused.

Booked PHL- KBP and successfully changed to ORD-BKK for over Christmas. Used Chase UR pts ~109k for RT ticket. Had to call international line twice. First time was told they were reviewing the policy and unable to change. Called right back and was able to get the change. Hopefully will be able to take this trip.

As I wanted Qsuites the whole way I booked from ARN-BKK for 16k SEK. OSL was cheaper but there are no Qsuites on the OSL-DOH route as far as I know.

A lot of people seem to be choosing BKK. I am also going LAX-DOH-BKK and back. What are other SE Asian destinations available once you book KBP?

I wanted Cambodia, but they said it was too far. Google says Phnom Penh is only 4,917 miles from Kiev. There are also reports of them telling people HKG and SEZ are out of reach when they’re not far from Kiev at all. Any other suggestions besides BKK? Personally I hate BKK and was wondering about HKT. But I figure I can just grab a $70 flight to Cambodia in the end, but it sure would make it easier if I could get to where I actually want to go.

Incorrect! You cannot change the country of origin. If your original booking departs from JFK, you cannot change it to depart from YUL

I want to take advantage of this so bad, but I have no time left to go anywhere this year

Qatar has also put up the price, for flights from YUL a few hours ago.

They seem to have zeroed out the cheaper business class booking class across the board. All their flights only have J and C buckets at silly prices now.

yeah I’m not seeing any cheap flights any longer. Would have like to transform the PHL to KBP to an ATL to WAW $1600 deal.
