I dont know on a way back as I have skipped the last leg

It was issued with MS on both ways CAI-DOH and DOH-CAI

This one is back to belo horizonte and seems bookable on latam , previous options via egyptair possible +150 example

Lower your horizon to Paraguay to lose a significant chunk of the fare.

But I'd urge a reality check: it remains the same awkward deal with uncertainty about the Cairo Doha sectors, and confusion about where to stash the rewards. Qatar should credit avios, but not BA: but there'll be few of them (no status boost) and there won't be any status-earning Q-points, certainly no BA tier-points.

Add to that the costs of getting to and from Cairo and any additional accommodation required, and for me it gets even less attractive.

It's a great fare for someone in Cairo who needs to get to Brasil/Paraguay and/or someone who wants to gamble on getting a very long flight in Qsuites.

Now if it were ticketed by Qatar, my calculation would be different


It's also a great fare for those who enjoy playing on keyboards: I found I could extend from Asuncion to Buenos Aires via a two-day marathon carrying me first to Sao Paulo then across the Andes to Santiago before heading back across the mountains to AEP, Buenos Aires' downtown airport.

Hi
could you expand in your South American extension? In any case can also be good for Delta and / or Latam frequent flyer programme

i was only playing around on a train journey. You might try switching to the multi flight option of GF and add ASU AEP then EZE CAI (or any other combination of sectors), after finding a suitable round-trip CAI ASU itinerary.

I have been trying to recreate your routing for some time now, using the inbound route CAI ASU as a basis. You mentioned SCL in your previous post, is it necessary to include Santiago?
Outbound: ASU (SCL?) AEP EZE CAI?

So far I always end up with 8K - 10K EUR.
Thanks!

I had ASU Buenos Aires (i.e, EZE or AEP) as one sector of my query. The idea was to create something with interest for me beyond a MR (I have many reasons to visit Buenos Aires, nothing in Asuncion), In the end I gave up for reasons I outlined above: mainly because it would be an expensive trip after including positioning costs, and the FFP benefits were small - or non-existent.

ASU GRU SCL AEP came up as a serendipitous offshoot of my playing around. I hadn't asked for GRU or SCL to be included. I noted the result simply because of its oddity and impracticability (duration over 2 days with long stop-overs at one or both of the intermediate airports). Sadly I didn't consider preserving it in a screenshot.

I wouldn't try too hard to replicate this. These things might be single date anomalies that come and go. But I hope you find an itinerary that satisfies you !

Hi, Do you remember if that swapped 777 had a wifi on board?

Had some success selecting CAI-DOH-GRU-MVD (with 2hr connections) as the outbound and GIG-GRU-LIS on the return leg for �1,366.

Nagolnagol u got it ticketed without any issues with QR "C" legs from/to CAI ?

john1987

May I ask the 3 first numbers of your ticket?
is it LATAM OR QR?

Dog250

CAI - MVD - $1365

Google Flights

Qatar operated to GRU then LATAM to MVD

CAI - ASU - $1400

It's still the same fare but you probably won't get QR flights ticketed between CAI and DOH so you have to choose of slightly more expensive connecting flights on MS.
