Ok, I didn't check availability for specific dates.
I guess you got a great deal then indeed.
Have a nice trip!

Does anyone know until when the MASTERCARD promo code is supposed to be working? The current promo fares from Scandinavia are valid until 15th and I have some travel I want to book where the code seems to drop the price nicely another 15%. However, as my plans are not yet fully confirmed I'd prefer to wait another couple of days but not if I lose out on the additional discount. Thanks.

JUST booked Sofia to Phuket return in October for 2 adults and 2 kids in Business for 6363 BGN/3249 EUR for all 4 of us using the Mastercard promo.
When paying by Mastercard, my transaction was declined and I was given a temporary PNR and time to pay. When I went to manage my booking to pay, I was then given the choice to pay with any card I liked, so if you dont have/dont want to pay with mastercard, this looks like a way around it.

englisha when I booked using the VISA code late in the VISA promotion I was only given VISA as a payment option. Maybe they discovered the problem and stopped it! It hole has apparently been forgotten in the MasterCard promotion.

I got the impression there was no need to pay with a mastercard with that promo, just use the name. Unless it's changed. This was from a lot earlier in the year.

Think about it. If you pay with VISA then VISA are paying most of the rebate. If the VISA rebate is given but not paid for with VISA then QR have to pay the entire rebate themselves!
There was one of the far too many IT errors involved here and it was corrected at a late date in the sale. The same error appears to be in the current MasterCard sale. IT do not seem to have learnt from their own mistakes!

R2 that was probably early in the sale. When I tried 15 or 16 January, at the very end of the offer, I could only pay with VISA.

Aircraft change
Was booked into A380, flying out from CDG, but now the aircraft has been changed to 777-300. Does anyone ever come across similar thing? Is it possible to get a full refund because of the change?
Thanks!
Thanks!

It happens quite often on Qatar. No chance of getting a full refund. You can try asking to be moved to a different flight served by an A380?

HAT If you look at http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/qatar...es-2017-a.html you can see the scheduled equipment changes.
Your ticket is for flights between a and b only. Not a specific aircraft type. So no refund will be given. However it is sometimes possible, but rather rare, to change flights but you need a good reason to do so, such as upgrading to F!
