Booking help
Hello guys! Some help below would be appreciated:
I am trying to book a multi-city trip for the first week of november: Kuwait - Paris. Return Amsterdam Paris for two people on business class. When I try to do that combo, I get that business class is not available, and I get pricing for economy class.
However, when I try to book a return ticket via Paris, I do find availability in business class on the route that the booking system previously said was not available.
I hope what I said above made sense. If it did, can anyone advice why this may be happening?

Sorry not to clarify. What I am trying to book is this:
Outward flight: Kuwait - Paris
Inward Flight: Amsterdam - Kuwait
If I search for these individually, I find availability on business class. When I do a multi-city search, I get only economy class tickets.

I have found flights on priceline and vayama.
If you do not want to book via an OTA you can either give QR a call or take the train between the two cities (apart from separate flights on KLM). You can then return from Paris.
The train journey is fast and quite reliable.

You cannot book there. But you would have flight numbers and scheduled time that you could try to spoon feed to the agent while on phone.
This might help them to find flights for you.
Edit: on the matrix website. Use the multi city search and click on the advanced routing codes link. this will show you an extra line for each flight. The line says "enter routing codes".
Add "QR+" in each line (should be two, one for outbound and one for inbound). This will show you flights via Qatar Airways only.

If you do so, search on http://matrix.itasoftware.com/ for flights.
