Ooh I booked a one way from CAI-ASU with the long QR leg. As far as I can tell, it shows Premium Business on the LATAM site, can't pull up the booking reference on Qatar to see the booking. Assuming the Premium Business should translate to business class on Qatar and not economy instead?!
No TPs with BAEC on this I guess?

cruser1 Any other NA destinations that work ? Really not wanting to visit South America yet lol.
EDIT
Royal Jordanian hasn't re-priced yet.

They fly to New York, Montreal, Detroit, and Chicago. Not Qatar Airways business class, but I'd take their seat any day over economy or premium economy!

I take that back, United isn't done repricing. Try to find a one-way or roundtrip with a United segment and hope it's a United fare so you can book through United.

To make this easier - for those of you booking to other destinations, in addition to RJ and UA, so far LATAM, Gulf Air, Oman Air, China Eastern, Qantas, Philippines Airlines, Turkish, Ethiopian, and Kuwait Airways have routes that haven't been re-priced.
There might be others I'm missing, but this is what I can quickly see in my data.
EDIT
Forgot South African Airways, Kenya Airways, Rwandair Express, Tunisair, Air Algerie.

Seeing 975$ one way CAI-AMM-JFK on select dates but cancel/change fee is 115$. Regularly one can find 1350$ on this route with different airlines.

I quickly hit the button on an ex-CAI RTW that I happened to have been working on anyway. $6,259.68 for two people, in business, ticketed.
After pulling it off last night I couldn't sleep I was so excited.

If you can't get a departure from Cairo to work and you just want a one-way back to the America's from Europe, don't forget that SkyTeam has a few options.

Just booked CAI-MDV and found no one to go with so solo 5 day trip for my birthday. Thanks a lot for posting this, I am super excited to fly q suite again, provided I don’t fall victim to equipment swap, or to a cancelation.

I spent all night trying to make it work and I couldn’t. Sucks but oh well. The premium economy on latam is euro biz and gives the lounge in GRU, the business on QR should give lounge in CAI and ofc you have the Al mourjan in DOH. If you’re able to confirm ticket in J on that flight do let me know as I’ll probably book another flight !
