Right now there are $800 fares between LAX-JNB. I am very tempted to book this flight but its a major decision and want to think things over before purchasing. How long will this fantastic promo be available?

I know that much cheaper fares have been available over the last several months but how reasonable is ARN-DOH-HKG-DOH-ARN for 1375 GBP (17 000 SEK) for travel in J in February.
Is this a "sale" fare?
Thank you

The way I tell if it is a special sale fare in Economy is on the fare class that is being sold. Q O and T are the lowest classes. If it is booking into one of those (usually O), then, it is a cheaper than normal fare. If it is a class like N, then it is just a normal everyday restricted fare.
Of course, even if you book an O fare, it does not mean it couldn't go lower on a fare basis. Like other carriers, booking these fare classes is of little value for mile.

That's a lot of consecutive Y flying for my butt. As long as you're thinking it over, consider that, too.

For info;
Just booked LHR-DOH-BKK in J for May 2016. I would normally always book through the QR website but Travelbag.co.uk offered the flights with better times & connections for 8% less, couldn't turn them down.
Once the flights were paid for I was able to access them using the PNR via the QR website & enter our FF numbers without a problem.
