Flights to BKK

Hi guys,

Wondered if you could help me? Me and the missus are looking at BKK for next Xmas 2015 and we saw that flights from Oslo and CPH are quite cheap on Business, approx. £1400. However, just wanted to ask, if it was worth just waiting for the 2for1 business class promo that Qatar Airways did last year?

Thanks again,

Gaz

Why don't you just fill in the cancellation form?

Quick question - how long before take off do you have to be at the airport if you've already checked in online?

Cheers

You need to be there at least 60 minutes before your departure time. If you are in business the cut off is 45 minutes.

Hi Gaz and welcome to FT.

The 2for1 fares will be a bit cheaper than that but they do typically block out the peak travel days over major holidays. I would also check AMS and BRU as starting points for good fares and £1400 is pretty good for long haul business at Xmas anyway. ^

By way of a disclaimer the recommended check-in time is 3 hours before departure.

This depends on the airport.

In India, I would advise a lot of time (3 hours at least).

In the UK, I normally appear 45-60 minutes before the flight. Perhaps add 10 minutes if I have a bag to check.

Yeah I read that but doesn't that only apply if you haven't checked in online beforehand?

This is from Manchester so as long as we're there ahead of an hour before take-off we should be ok.

Cheers!

Sorry a couple of quick questions as my parents are flying Qatar this weekend.

1. My parents are flying on an award ticket Lhr- dxb in J to Doha but then it's ticketed in y from doh to dxb. My understanding of one world rules gives them access to the great lounge at doh to take a shower etc? Am I correct?

2. On the return they are in y to doh then j to lhr. Can they a) use business class checkin at dxb and b) use lounge at dxb (again per one world rules? )? Many thanks as trying to help them out as I usually travel BA J. Cheers

Hey there! I can't check fares on multi city itineraries using QR's site! It lets me choose flights, but then when it should bring the fare, it says there's an error (5685-2201). Its been happening for a while now. Any clues why?

Yes! I've been having the same trouble. Doesn't seem to have trouble with open jaws, I booked CAI-DOH-JNB, CPT-DOH-CAI today, but I wanted CAI-DOH-CPT-DOH-DXB-DOH-CAI and it would give me the flights but couldn't price. Another person on here said it gave him a price. I tried Chrome and Internet Explorer. In the end my plans changed and I got what I wanted, so I'm happy now but I do a fair amount of multi city bookings, so I would like to be able to use this in the future.
