Can be combined on half round trip basis with Moscow to get as low as USD 1,100 pp.
Min 2 pax of course.

Nothing close from TBS.
CTU is USD 200 higher than PEK.

From Moscow Thailand is from USD 1,250 which is a usual price as per the last QR sales, no MOW-SGN on sale this time though (which used to be as low as USD 1,000).

I'm booking for October 2018, and Matrix and GF don't go up to then.

Is there an easier way to look for open-jaw prices than trying combinations manually on QR's site? (their multi-flight system is shocking)

Can't seem to get these prices beyond the early June cut off? How are people going getting prices into summer / autumn 2018 ?

Don't think it requires a promo code, but for every combination of destinations and dates I search for I'm coming up with their usual fares. Quite frustrating!

Stopovers

Has anyone managed to get these fares to price with multi day stopovers in DOH?

I'm trying to get ARN-DOH-SYD with a few days in DOH on both legs but every time I put in a multi-city itinerary on the QR website it throws an error about unavailable flights. There does seem to be availability on the relevant flights. I've tried it from OSL as well with no joy.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Ts and Cs show you why:

Travel period: 1 November 2017 until 31 October 2018. All travel must be completed by 31 October 2018.

Blackout dates (travel not allowed): 15 December 2017 until 10 January 2018 and 7 June to 10 September 2018. Additional blackout dates apply in some countries

I think they changed their rule for this. You can pick up your bag if it is more than 8 hrs or something like that.

Cheers!

You're right - but the wording of this has not been changed to take into account of Qatars relaxation of visa rules and that a large number of nationalities now do not need a visa to enter Qatar. So if you hold a passport that doesn't require a visa and can show evidence of a stay in Doha then you *should* be able to short check.
