I guess it depends what dates your looking at. I randomly selected 6-20 February and the rate is available. 1 stop in Abu Dhabi en 1 technical stop in Beijing (I believe you don’t have to get out of the plane). € 1.637 directly bookable at Etihad.
Anyway, as I said Qatar is better/ more convenient but the price is right.

Hey
Looking to try QR in J for the first time. Looking to goto Japan in Early Feb 2020 for the winter festival ( Hokkaido). What price we should pull the trigger at ex eu to Tyo. I'm sure i saw flights from Mad or Bcn earlier in the year for about £1.7k pp. All fares seam to have rocketed recently...traditionally when would fares for early next yr go on sale. Also where would u say the Tyo fare are best from?Many thxs..

I've just taken advantage of the current ex-Scandinavia fares to Asia and bagged ARN-DOH-SIN/HKG-DOH (stopover for two days)-ARN at £1694, our 30 Aug, returning into ARN on 9 Sep.
Google Flights was returning a good figure of £1391, but trying to book it on QR direct resulted in an £1850 fare. I then had a mini-brainwave and looked at Amex Travel, and it produced a fare of £1691. Not as good as the original Google fare, but better than QR direct. Booked in R for the first sectors and D in the HKG-Europe sectors (which probably explains the higher fare - Google must have somehow been seeing R all the way through).

I checked a few of the destinations in my earlier post and can confirm that (double) open jaws are possible. I am specificaly looking for an open jaw to Shanghai (F1 next year) as to make use of a transit visa when departing to a third country.
If I understand correctly a visa is required for DOH-PVG-DOH but not for DOH-PVG-KUL-DOH or DOH-OTP-PVG-DOH for instance

Just checked out the 12 hour sale. Didn't find any real bargains from SEAsia to U.S. Closest was CMB-LAX at USD $2,557 roundtrip; but fares to other U.S. destinations are much higher.

Why doesn't google flight seem to work for qr fares (ITA returns the same unbookable fares) Searching for a good ex EU fare to KUL or SIN over Xmas and it keeps tempting me with £1400 GOT-SIN fare that jumps to £2400 when clicking through. Routing options around the £1500 mark most welcome. Thanks

I'll take a look at skyscanner, thanks, though am looking to depart closer to 22 dec. I did find some attractive fares around my dates directly on qr, but they typically require 24h+ layover in doha.
