I am trying to book their "promo" fare (W class in economy) from Munich to BKK. Sadly the promo fare saves only 20 euros round trip but still cheap one. I can price it around 470Euros round trip but as soon as I add a stopover the price hike to over 700 something (jumps to S class). W classes are available almost every day I look at and the fare rules say 1 stop-over in DOH is allowed, so technically, I should be able to get the W fares with a stopover in Doh for 2 days. What am I missing? Is there a way to add a stopover with the promo fare?
The jump from W to S might be due to some W fare rule breaking when adding your stopover. For example, W fare requires 6 days or saturday night spent at destination (BKK).
Or it may be caused by no seat availability in W, as when you combine 2 sectors (MUC-DOH and DOH-BKK), QR seat availability is determined by their married segment rules (you may have availability in W class in MUC-DOH and in DOH-BKK but not for MUC-DOH-BKK and strangely it also works in reverse...).

I got french and english newsletter, different versions
Le code promo n'est valable sur aucun itinéraire où Doha est la destination finale.
They talk about a code in the french conditions, but the layout page with the code disapeared.
Also Doha cannot be the final destination (english version seem to allow )
In the english version they said
Offer applies exclusively for bookings made on mobile devices. Purchases can only be made through qatarairways.com
So only booking mobile and without application .
Anyway rates do not change...
