[PREMIUM FARE GONE] PNH-SGN (via DOH) USD915 Biz
Recently saw on another webpage about this fare, maybe of use to someone.
QR has a promo(?) business R class fare (seems can access lounges?) from PNH to SGN, via DOH with max 15 days stopover.
GFlight sample
ticket must be issued before 30 Sep, valid till 30 Jun 2024.

Ahhh... memories back in 2013!
that was at a lower rate and a different DOT ruling period, but several FTers flew that after filing in SCC and other settlements..
I know people who filed complaints in HKG/Canada/NYC
and later after settlements flew variations instead of the simple PNH-SGN as the staff on the ground mentioned it while "transiting" on that fare... 
which led to 560 TPs hehe

What do you mean with "detour"? I tested with replacing the SGN with KUL but it more than doubles the price - did you mean adding it as an extra leg somewhere?

Refundable with a penalty of between $175 and $415. Wonder why they can't pin down the penalty to an exact amount. Good that this fare allows lounge access - some lower QR fares don't permit it.

Anyone able to make this work with a stopover in SIN instead of KUL or DOH? Not able to pull up a SIN stopover for +300 on Expedia nor skyscanner.
Trying to route through SIN to avoid the 2-2-2 business class being flown on the outbound.

I am playing around with the PNH-KUL option, and ITA is showing the PNH-KUL segment on MH booking into I class. Looking at Aadvantage earning charts, it appears that I class does not earn points. Just curious if others see the same.
