The Hong Kong site shows a fare sale available up to Nov 12, only for selected destinations, in both economy and business. Business class looks like 35% off.

On past experience I would wait until daytime Qatar time on 2nd and possibly a bit longer . I've seen the promotion posted before the fares are even loaded and as of now the 2 for 1 promotion isn't even official. Someone will notice when the 2 for 1 fares have been loaded . For the ticket I'm after the price hasn't changed from last week so far .

It is crazy sometimes 
A few days ago I see a promotion on BKK-AMS in J for 60k THB, book until 15 dec for flying until 30 June 2016. I prefer flying to BRU but at 110K THB I would rather book to AMS. Considering "book until 15 dec" I decide "lets wait to dec, credit card will be charged in Jan.
I check rates yesterday, no more AMS promotion!
OK, similar promotion will come back sooner or later.
Thus today I see promotion 2 to 6 nov, BKK-BRU 26K Y and 85K J
and AMS for 22K Y or 63K J....
Every week a promotion???
I might book a Y ticket on 4 nov (credit card charge next month then) and try to upgrade to J early jan with platinum credits/miles or just wait and book in jan....

Remember this is the Middle East .... Wait until later today .I have seen before the website is updated before the fares but seeing the web page it doesn't seem to be 2 for 1 just discounted . If I notice a change in the fare I'm watching I will post .

Fares from Paris are loaded. Tons of availability. Around 1,600 to HKG or KUL, less than 1,500 to Tokyo.
But impossible to understand the fare rules in case of change. Are they pricing on historical with a change fee of 275EUR? And what is validity?
THis is NOT a 2 for 1 sale, just a single sale. Last 2 for 1 was arounf 1,800 for HKG, so that is even better

USD2,700 is a very good price for HKG to EU. The best sales on BA, AF, LH are typically a thousand dollars more when including taxes and surcharge.

Ex CMB, the price is the same as 2 for 1. Flew about 130,000 Rupees and now same price too. I think this is comparable to 2 for 1 price. Ex HKG and SIN no good deal. Better ex CMB.

Hi msm2000uk:
you seem to be very knowledgeable about QR so quick question:
assuming the sale is great, when purchasing a pair of tix, should I register for Qatar miles/points or another carrier?
I'm in Delta's hometown and they aren't part of oneworld..and haven't had to fly AA due to being in DL territory...yet at the same time, QR will be flying direct here next summer and can see myself flying on them atleast 3x a year.
Thoughts? Thanks in advance

If you're mostly flying from ATL, and have no interest in flying on DL (thus Skyteam), then it might be worth investigating QR Privilege Club.
However, this will be dependent on you using QR for the majority of your long-haul travel - which is not always convenient if you are heading to mainland Europe. Without knowing a little more about your usual travel routes, it is hard to give a definitive answer.
It may be worth looking into registering with the BA Executive Club (as you can then credit any AA flights you take to that account too).
Hope the above helps,
M
