MH only books in I with QR R class. If you can find dates with P availability MH should book into J. BTW it's also possible to fly MH A359 KUL-DOH with a QR flight number.

Does anyone know how many stopovers the fare allow in each direction? Somehow on expertflyer I cannot see the fare rules. Would it be possible to have 2 stopover in one direction - 1 in SGN and 1 in DOH?

1) The deals seem to vanish in 2024, particular the "return"? Should be able to book until end June 2024..?
2) Starting in SGN instead of from PNH does not work, even use PNH as destination? (SGN-DOH-PNH // PNH-DOH-SGN)?

Yes but fare rules allows routing PNH-SGN-DOH-SGN.. hence was wondering if I can add 2 stopovers (SGN and DOH)

Here is one starting in SGN instead of PNH in 2024, also not hard to find, it was the first date I tried, might not be the cheapest dates.

You need to be QR Gold or Platinum to get free seat choice in advance.

Last week flew with QR CAI/DEL/CAI and no problem with doing seat assignment. after entering my BA Gold number, I waited an hour, refreshed the PNR and access to all seats free of charge.

Throw in a BA holiday MAN-SOF to get you a wizz away from AUH and you've got yourself BA gold in one trip.
I had no idea Wiz flew to AUH 😄

called them and agent confirms OWE should get free seat assignment while they tried multiple times still not work.
Sounds like a QR IT issue to me now

Indeed. I booked that one and they cancelled it. I shrugged it off but nice to know that some travelers got them to honor it. Guess they haven't learned their lesson on routing rules. Good luck to those who try this one!

I also managed to fly a similar fare around the same time on EK, CMB-MLE round trip in F that allowed (probably not their original intention) routing through DXB. Nice memories.

I tried to read through the old thread but didn't really come to a conclusion. What did the people who flew do exactly to get QR to honor their tickets?
It seems they were not very transparent about this. What can we learn from 10 years ago, what should we take into consideration when booking this fare?
