Just a small warning... It is quite common for QR to change the aircraft on its routes, and it seems to happen quite frequently on the BKK route. In the QR forum, there is a thread specifically discussing BKK flights. I would book based on convenience and not be totally surprised if your aircraft changes before the flight date.

Vce-doh-bkk kbv-doh-arn Ł996
Just booked the above multi city from 16-24 Sep with the MASTERCARD promo Code for Ł996. Books into I fare on the way to BKK and R on the way to ARN. I've included a 19hrs stopover in Doha and planning to take advantage of the +Qatar offer for the free hotel and visa.
Does anyone know if I should book the free hotel from now or wait to do it together with the transit visa application one month before travel?
Thinking of staying at the Ritz or Westin in Doha.

Or can you actually book the free hotel stay already?

Qatar just announced a free stopover program for guests traveling through doha in all classes. They give you a free hotel night at any of the listed five star hotels. Guys booking the above fare should take benefit of this option.

Just to be clear - the stopover program isn't strictly free as a previous poster suggested.
You get a free stopover as part of your ticket itinerary (this has always been a choice), and J passengers continue to get 1 night hotel free with the now removed transit restrictions (under the +QATAR LUXURY offer, Qatar Airways First and Business Class passengers receive a complimentary night’s stay from a selection of five-star hotels), but if you want to take up the two night offer, this is the +QATAR ULTIMATE offer and you need to pay a booking fee of USD 50 per room - you then select from a number of four or five-star hotels.
You can book this straight away after you get confirmation of your flights and as mentioned earlier it is best you do this straight away. Worth also noting that there are blackout dates around Eid, and this offer only runs from May to September, at which point the stopover offer ends.

Wanting to take part of the same offer as I got 2 nights in Doha on the way to Krabi in July. Called Qatar local offices and they instructed web booking only. Website delivers error that the free hotel and visa transit offer can only be booked within 30 days of travel and not more. So guess I got to wait a while longer than for booking.
Or can you actually book the free hotel stay already?
