OW Fare Advice
 

Dear FTers

I wish to travel in July 2015 on the following itinerary:

DOH - MIA (stopover) - SCL (stopover) - MIA (stopover) - DOH

Normally we book in Y/Y+ for daytime flights and C/J for night flights (also sometimes try to miles for upgrade) but understand that this may not be possible in a mixed metal trip.

Appreciate any guidance on OW fare options which are more cost efficient than booking a regular fare with a carrier.

It's quite possible if you book DOH-MIA ret. and MIA-SCL ret. on separate tickets.

Yes i understand that but booking in that way costs $3500 rtn in Y!

Really I am looking for suggestions pertaining to OW fare offers (multi continent/RTW) which could reduce this cost

Even people living in Qatar have a budget!

:p

A RTW fare on OW is highly unlikely to save you much if anything. You'd get more (in terms of being able to stop more places), but that's not your objective.

I plugged in some random July dates and got $1300 on BA to MIA + $1000 on LAN to SCL; I'd say $2300 is quite a bit below $3500, so you must have highly constrained dates.

after much consideration i finally got:

DOH-LHR (QR)
LHR-MIA (BA)
MIA-SCL (AA)

stopover

SCL-MIA (AA)

stopover

MIA-LHR (BA)
LHR-DOH (QR)

C/J the whole way for £2800
