Just out of curiosity, why not start with JFK-LAX-ORD... or LGA-ORD-LAX... and pick up a few thousand extra miles?

Departing 12/26. Need to land in DOH 12/27 in time to make the 8pm 12/27 DOH-SGN connection to get to SGN in time to make a VN connection to PQC on the AM of the 28th. No way to leave NYC 26th, go to LA and still get to DOH on time. At the moment, I am wondering if it's even wise to do LGA-ORD-DOH instead of JFK-DOH. It's more EQM and a longer ride in Q-suites, but I worry about weather at ORD in late Dec...The RTW tool wasn't showing JFK-DOH as an option, but EF shows D9 for both flights JFK-DOH on 12/26.

I am planning on purchasing a AONE3 ticket and I want to fly from LHR-BOS. I know a couple of months ago BA removed the A Class inventory from their flights for this segment.
Does this mean I am unable to book First Class on this segment and will have to settle for business class? Any help is much appreciated!

I can't find anything excluding this, but if I have a QR issued ticket is there anything preventing segments with TLV on them from being issued on QR stock? I'm planning on ending my trip in TLV on a CAI-originated DONE3 but wanted to make sure this wouldn't violate any QR policies that I'm unaware of and aren't expressed in the fare rules.

Define "preventing." QR won't issue the ticket if it contravenes any QR rules. If QR has issued the ticket, there's nothing more to worry about, yes?

Well the original routing did not include TLV but it is an already-issued DONE3 on QR stock. I'm looking to change the routing to now include TLV on a BA operated flight. Not sure if QR has any policies preventing QR-issued tickets including TLV as a city anywhere on the routing. (Thinking of the HAV/Cuba restriction as the closest analogue.)

I couldn't find any policies excluding this, and it auto prices in Sabre, so I'd presume all is good. Just wanted to know if anyone had any experience on this matter.

(I do have an outstanding question to QR and will report back on their response as well.)

I have not heard of any problems with QR and Israel. QR is a OneWorld members and as far as I know interlines with RJ, BA, IB, and others who fly into TLV. I'm not aware of Qatar the country having any restrictions or problems with Israel. Now, a Saudi Arabian airline would likely be a different story.

QR still has fares filed to TLV.

I flew RJ340 AMM-TLV on Sunday and I noticed while settling into row 1 that a number of passengers were carrying boarding cards printed on that distinctive Qatar cardboard.

What fares does Air Berlin (AB) publish? Is it normal that defunct airlines publish fares?

Fares filed and service are two different things. Tried booking and the booking engine doesn't have TLV programmed in. Both "TLV" and "Tel Aviv" produce "No city matching for your request."

:confused::confused:
I just plugged this itinerary into the booking engine - no problem
TLV-LHR-LAX-HKG-DOH
I could choose flights. It failed to price up; got the usual message

Sorry, we've noticed that an error has occurred. The fastest way to get a quote is to contact British Airways.

Matrix shows plenty of ways to book a QR fare to TLV. I tried pricing DOH-TLV in J and Y, and JNB-DOH-AMM-TLV in Y, all on QR fares:
