So here's the link to the sale. Qatar's website sucks. I stumbled on this link by accident. Shows the discounted fares in J to most of the destinations, but is based on multiple bookings. Cheapest is for 4-5. I was able to price out 4 YYZ-BKK for $2300/pp as abby did (though abby was from YUL).

Rules:
Book by Jan 17
Travel by Dec. 15
Min 7 day stay

Works via selloffvacation
 
As a follow up my sister just booked for two YUL-SIN late July via selloffvacations for $2500 CAD / $1760 USD.

YUL-BLR is pricing at $2,100 CAD / $1,478 USD

Is it worth crediting to Qmiles with the triple miles or should I stick to AA?

Just checking my math here for AA EXPs:

Pricing out YUL-DOH-SIN in J for a mileage run ($1,790 USD):

Base Miles - 21,122
EQMs (+50%) - 31,683
Class of Service RDM Bonus (+25%) - 5,281
EXP RDM Bonus (+100%) - 21,122
Total RDMs - 42,244
Cost - $1,790
CPM cost: ~4.2 cpm

Plus 9K Avios LGA-YUL RT.

For comparison on a pure MR standpoint, JFK-NRT-CKG in Y is around $800 on sale (2 cpm) including the EXP bonus and gets you around 21K EQMs. But of course JL Y has nothing on QR J.

Is that correct?

this is correct. Mileage-runs (as in, cpm-based runs) are always going to be better in Y than in J as long as the bonuses are how they are and aside from mistake fares. 1.5x EQM for J, but the cost for J>Y is much more than a 1.5x multiplier. so yes, you're correct.

Google Flights/Matrix seeing CAD3415/USD2375 for YVR-KUL the long way, via AMS on KL. Can't get it to come up on KL but Matrix -> Delta works via the userscript. Didn't try to purchase it, but if it goes through, 33,418 MQM ~7.1 CPM!

April/May/June, ... sample dates June 5-12 http://goo.gl/flights/aKO1

I can never get anything to price out on the KLM website. You're better off using the ITA-> Delta script as you did which is much more reliable. Airfrance.ca usually brings back what I'm looking for in most cases. Only problem with using DL.com is it will ticket on 006 stock, meaning you will only get actual MQDs. If you can ticket at airfrance.ca then the MQDs will be based on mileage flown.

Also, YYZ-AMS-SIN-DPS-SIN-AMS-YYZ is available for US$2227.

That's 33,859 MQM for 6.6 cpMQM.

Has anyone been able to book DEL? I found it for C$2200 out of YYZ on Google Flights which redirects me to Flight Network which says to call in. When I called the agent could not replicate the flights/price.

I found this by myself and came to post a thread. But of course someone else found it first. :D

Anyway, I pulled the trigger on YVR/FRA/BLR in April on LH metal. The corporate travel agent couldn't find it with LH flight numbers but did with AC code shares. All in: $2412.80.

It was very confusing actually as I was and still am in Canada, and google flights was redirecting me to google.ca and I wasn't sure what currency I was working with. Even in Canadian dollars this was an extraordinary deal.

Funny fact: last week it was $3100 all in on OneWorld ex-YVR through Tokyo and Kuala Lumpur. I was too busy too book it, and since this fare has been around for many months, I didn't worry. Well, OW went to $4K and change, and *A plummeted. I wanted OW, but at this price, I had no choice, OPM or not.

This is no use to you as it is not from the west coast. But I am seeing YUL-BLR on QR for $1736 (US$).

Anyone able to get low fare on QR from YYZ/YUL to SIN/KUL/BKK/BLR for 3 or 4 days? When I search, shows 7 day min.

7 day minimum (and 1 month max) for these prices on QR I believe. And it could very well be that you need to book tomorrow at the latest.
