Does anyone have experience with QR and Istanbul Sabiha Göcken Airport (SAW)? I am flying on the 23:59 flight, and have a colleague on the 20:45 flight, and am wondering if I can go to the airport with my colleague and be able to check in. Does check in stay open throught out the time for the two flights, or does it close in between?
I know this is not the most exciting airport, nor lounge, to spend time in, so a lot of things would speak for not leaving for the airport earlier than I need to. Except the opportunity to have more time to discuss some topics with my colleague.

I'm trying to find ex-Doha routes in F to connect to out of Bangkok. For example, I've noticed that flying to Kuwait City cuts the cost of roundtrip flights to $2,100 from $4,600 if flying only to Doha.
However, I if I search for onward connections that don't offer a first class cabin/fare, I don't get the option to book F on BKK-DOH and J on DOH-somewhere else. Is there a list of which destinations have premium cabins that are sold as "first class" flights? Thanks!

QR actually sells about forty different Y- fares on this market. The cheapest Y- fare (YHR5R1FI) is 2393 USD and the most expensive Y- fare (YLR5R2FE) is 7371 USD. The latter is round trip and the former one way, so divide by two to get a better idea of price range. You'll need to add government taxes, airport fees, and airline surcharges on top of those base fare numbers.
You can use ITA Matrix to price out a Y- fare on your trip by specifying the constraint f bc=Y in the "extension booking codes" boxes.

Yes, it is about yield management; not about flexibility.

Has Qatar changed how they release award seats to their OneWorld partners, particular for flights to/from the USA? In the past, there have been seats available right when the schedule opens a year out, but now I'm not seeing any. Looking to use JAL miles to book a Qatar flight DOH-ORD
