Where in the booking process do you get to select seats?
I want to be sure I can get an individual seat before I commit.

its frustrating how some flights show up on Google Flights at a low price for 2 PAX but when you click through to Qatar only the flights with 5-7 hour connections are that low!

A lot of options are booking up rather rapidly and Google Flights/Matrix caching badly. Booked myself ARN-DOH-HKG with the VISA code, which came out to 1023.82 for a trip in May, 3 hour connections each way. Not bad at all.

I was worried by the indicated "3 seats left" but that seems to mean how many left at that price and in reality there were loads of seats.
Made my booking though the price is merely "not bad", unlike the sub-900 fare to Cape Town I had last year. Sterling exchange rate isn't helping much, but the prices still aren't all that special. Wouldn't have bothered except for the Visa discount.
Some prices I saw for one person with the visa discount were:
OSL- BKK 1050, HKG 1400, DEL 1100
BRU- BKK 1100, HKG 1225, DEL 1300
CDG- BKK 1240, DEL 1075
Not amazing, but then the QR business class experience is pretty good.
Still not seeing any promo fares ex-UK but BRU is close enough for me to pull the trigger and finally go to bed at 1:30am on the day I'm starting a new job...

Awesome, thanks. That's really useful.

ZRH-TYO for 1789CHF / 1434GBP in J before VISA discount doesn't look so bad, really the stand-out of all destinations...
hoping for some good deals ex-NA once those load in in... roughly 3h.

I got BRU-MNL-BRU for 1036 each return. Not the best but I did need it. A350 on the BRU and 777. And the stopovers were only 1:35 and 3:55 which isn't totally awful

it seems that booking today triggers 5* Qmiles:
"Earn up to 5x bonus Qmiles FOR ONE DAY ONLY and many more"
