QR is in the habit of quoting airfares only and not revealing that the total with taxes and fees would be substantially higher.

Just irritating. - a total waste of time. Not permissible in Europe IIRC.

Hi all, just a quick question:

Currently trying to fly this itineray, does anyone have a way to add in even more stops to maximize TP?

You can add in routing via HEL but it will push up your price by ~£200 per additional leg.

Thanks! It will, however give me the A330 instead of the A350, so I'd rather take a raincheck on that.

Looks like you are flying DOH-CBR and CBR-DOH rather than DOH-SYD-CBR and CBR-SYD-DOH (the stops in Sydney are just technical stops)?

The same could be said for CX -

And you are HKG based, are you not?

Not in the region/airports where I am based - the promos are an all inclusive fare

Sheesh - of all things to complain about QR, this really isn't one of them

It’s a common problem with QR that the advertised fares cannot be found. I honestly hope someone will give them a slap on the wrist for that (misleading advertising).

Can't get anything better than +35% on these.

SE Asia to Tanzania?
Hello!

Ive got to go to Tanzania in September and am wondering whether QR ever offer any good business class fares ex SE Asia? Ideally out of SIN, but I know that that’s a very expensive outport, hence I’d be willing to position to anywhere within 4h of SIN.

CMB will be cheaper, but I'm not sure that there are any QR fares filed for CMB-DAR.

CCU/ MAA. Though I think you might be better off just flying ET from SIN cos repositioning there in Y is painful.

Not in the EU where doing that would be illegal.

In the EU, they just advertise fares that aren’t bookable. Pretty sure that’s illegal, too.
