ITA Matrix and QR aren't friends, and it is quite common for ITA to bring up an error when showing QR prices - or simply showing ghost fare class availability.

Google Flights, despite now owning ITA, is better (as you have pointed out), albeit it's not perfect.

How do you think people unearth the bargain fares that are posted on the FT's Premium Fare Deals forum?

Helsinki-Chiangmai fares disappeared overnight

Last night Google Flights and Qatar's own website were showing HEL-CNX rtn for about £1470 or £1345 if returning from BKK. Great fares, and amazing to be able to get to Chiangmai so painlessly! However getting the 4 times weekly Chiangmai flights to mesh with the appropriate daily/double daily Helsinki flights and my timetable required a bit of juggling, so I left it last night, to resume this morning.

Now both Qatar and Google are showing zero options on Qatar between Helsinki and Chiangmai for anywhere around my outbound date in February, although flights from other European cities to Chiangmai are still available.

I tried pricing up my (finally sorted out) itinerary as 4 separate sectors but that produced a price in excess of €4,000

Does anyone know if this is just a temporary glitch, or has the door been slammed on a great deal to Chiangmai?

I think that was the end of the sale period for these fares (I was watching a £1,200 VCE-BKK return for Christmas, it's gone now too ).

The 48 hour sale is due to end tonight, and I can see that HEL-BKK is still on sale. The reason that it's more likely to be a glitch is that no fares at all are currently showing for HEL-CNX, I've tried various dates which were working last night (and for which I know connections exist) but only get the following less than helpful message:"Unable to find flights for the selected date. Please select a different date and search again. (NSP101)"

I wasn't complaining about having to do research. I just mentioned that it is not useful or even misleading to email an offer page which does not contain the offers.

I hope something bigger is coming up because this is just pathetic as a sale. Only Y class fares and no good deals either..

Last year it was early September; we'll have to wait a few days.

But this year is very different, of course. I wouldn't necessarily base expectations for this year on how it went past years.

Maybe a nice fare to Canberra as QR starts flying there as of March '18 (Just seen an ad for it on the French QR site)...

It was today last year that the Travel Festival started...

QR sales have been surprisingly weak the last few months considering the situation, so not getting my hopes up.

I received QR's offer email today with some good (not best) offers. TXL to KUL for 1,384 Euros in C.
FRA-WDH for 1,429 Euros in C

Offer ends at 07.09.2017.
