The current £1900 fares are excellent. Given the lack of R class availability, if one needs to get down under then I personally wouldn't be procrastinating over a small amount like this!

Itching to pull the trigger on a NOK 13.268 / € 1.360 OSL-SIN / BKK-ARN fare. Drawback is no double points because of September flying dates. There will probably be a better miles deal offer later in the year ( 3X/4X ?) but I think it’s doubtful that the rate will be significantly better in a next sale.
on a side note: I never knew that there were so many daily qr flights between BKK and DOH! A lot of seats to fill.

Last month there was a selection of easy deals that saw a discount of miles spent on certain routes which of suited the ravelled would bring back to original spend prior to PC changes - not ideal but still an offer, despite having to pay sector booking fees.
the double mile promotions may suit some people, but the current one is offering double Q Points too , and for some who may be chasing status qualification this may work for them as one EU - Asia in B/C would get them very close to QR gold and one world sapphire. The one world analogy could be a mute point should QR leave One World. Just my thoughts and everyone has differing expectations.cheers.

I don’t know. I did see that the return leg is about 1/3 of the total price (about 4.900NOK).
Edit: there is a 700-1100 NOK difference in YQAC (carrier imposed international surcharge).

I had just selected ARN-SIN for 2 pax, 3 seats remaining on the outbound, went to the payment page.
Then I was a bit too slow discussing with my gf if I should pay immediately or put the booking on hold.
Suddenly the QR website told me I had been inactive for too long - now only 1 seat is left.
I hope that it's still just blocking the 2 seats for me.
Anybody know when they will go back into circulation?
Thanks.

Thanks! I don't understand why the system does that. I mean, it detected I was inactive and it gave me the option to repeat my latest search - why not immediately release the seats then? Sigh.
Crossing my fingers the seats will come back...
Edit: Phew, the seats came back pretty much straight away. Booked with the 72 hold period, great feature.
It'll expire at 12am at January 17, so exactly when the potential new sale will start, LOL. Maybe I should have waited an extra hour or so, but I just wanted to lock this in.
