I'm playing around with the online tool to build my itinerary ex-AMM. Google Flights shows there is AMM-DOH-PHL all on QR, but the online tool only shows RJ as nonstop option between AMM and DOH. Is this glitch and if so, would I be able to book this on QR by calling the AA desk?

QR is aggressive on married segment logic. maybe no D class

The online tool will not allow any itinerary where the first flight is on QR. AA should be able to book it for you but be forewarned that they oftentimes insist that you have (at least) one of your trans-oceanic sectors with them.

AA is fine with codeshares on transoceanic sectors, and they have one on DOH-PHL, although it goes away early next year.

Legal Basis for forcing me to pay taxes for involuntary rerouting or avoid rerouting
 

Is there any legal basis that QR can force you to pay ridiculous taxes for involuntary rerouting via BA- about USD1000

They keep refusing to accept responsibility and keep pushing me to refund the remaining sectors.

Not only is this getting annoying it seems very fishy to me

Can anyone help

I'd pay SriLankan $370 for a biz-class ticket BOM-DXB (random date 3 Dec 17 since I don't know your particulars) and see what favor you can politely cajole out of QR.

You won't want to pay a lawyer when only $1000 (or $370) is the argument except perhaps for no-brainer highly-repetitive cases e.g. EU delayed-flight grievances.

But does anyone know the actual legal position QR has for not rerouting gratis?

Are these (real) BA/UK taxes or BA carrier surcharges? Do they detail what for?
If you have a stop over in UK, you must the APD. Other than APD, UK taxes are not that much different to many other countries.

The ME3 are not know for good (on ground) customer service

UPDATE
NOW THEY REFUSE TO GIVE ME A COPY OF THEIR RE-ROUTING POLICY
DOES SOMEONE HAVE IT / KNOW OF IT, I THINK IT SAYS EFFECTIVELY FORCE THE
PASSENGER TO REFUND THE SECTORS




No idea what the breakdown is Mwenenzi, but its still an involuntary reroute, isnt it?

BA I think takes advantage of the taxes and piles on charges

I think this is the wrong approach. Government policy has prevented Qatar from performing the contract of carriage as it was. Absent clear wording to the contrary, it is hard to argue that QR should be held solely liable for what is the impossibility or illegality of the original contract.

There may be IATA policy or guidance for this kind of government-mandated reroute. That seems to me a better starting point.

agents are instructed to not to give rerouting policy to customers.
(i have seen the 20+ pages documents myself in QR office)

dont you just consider to buy a cheap MCT DXB ticket and be done?

The only reroute is either via BEY, KWI or MCT. (i believe QR serves an airport in Oman near UAE border).
They do have booking class restriction depending on airline. If your date is not flexible, maybe that is why none of these options work.
(i forgot all the details. )
there is no booking class restriction on QR metal (J class is okay). so. you can fly to anywhere in middle east and buy a ticket to DXB.

if you insist on DXB as final destination, and you will have to fly one of the partners - subject to booking class on the respective partners.
i dont have access to that document, so I wont know for sure. Given that Lebanon is now in tense situation with Saudi Arabia. and countries
are asking their citizens to leave Lebanon now, I would just guess that spaces are a lot harder on ME (I thought ME J class was okay but dont remember the details).

If I have HKG-NRT-DPS-KUL-KTM, that's 4 segments. Does that still allow me to fly KTM-HKG-JNB without stopover in HKG or would that exceed the number of segments for the Asia continent?

No. KTM-HKG is the 5th segment within the Asian contintent, so not permitted.

Is there a list somewhere of 2 segment flights with a single flight number, similar to SYD-LHR?
