Qr/rj: Cmb-cdg €950 ow / €1600 rt - 320/640 tp
Not exactly the deal of the century, but not that bad either.
CMB-DOH-AMM-CDG for €950 OW or €1,600 RT.
Wide open.
RJ fare, with CMB-DOH operated by QR. Sometimes with a 777 with QSuites, sometimes with old A330’s.
It’s also possible to fly via AUH on UL instead of DOH with QR (but who would want that…).
NB: RJ flies both 787’s and 320’s to CDG, so choose your flights carefully.
Should earn 320 TP each way if my math is correct.

It's really wide open. Just use Google Flights.
Example: https://www.google.com/travel/flight...7ZiMR4maM2Lfj7
You can even get CMB-DOH-AMM all with lie-flat seats, but I didn't see any 787 for AMM-CDG for those combinations. Seems like 2/3 flights with lie-flat seats are as good as it gets... But maybe you can play around with it and get 3/3 somehow.

Oh nice… I only saw A330 and “lie flat seats” on Google Flights, so I thought those were old QR A330s in a 2-2-2 configuration…

I could have said exactly what you said mate, that is the only thing deterring me, and even if you enter the country, the hotels near the airport are ridiculously priced and sub-standard. I was trying to find a short layover in AMM on this one but no joy. Good fare though OP, thanks for sharing.

Would never stand in line for a phone. Heck, I won't stand in line for a restaurant.

Here it is again:
https://www.google.com/travel/flight...7ZiMR4maM2Lfj7
1:15h and 2:55h at AMM. AMM-CDG and CDG-AMM on 787, QSuites for the return.
Took me like 5 minutes tops to find that, I didn't even spend much time searching.

I could fly CMB-CDG non stop and get 140 tier points. Or, take the OP's itinerary and net 320. Easy choice for me!

Some of them definitely are the QR 2x2x2 A330s. Just had a look at seat maps on expertflyer for some dates (eg 13JAN dep CMB) showing the old QR config. Still way better than a recliner tho!
