There are plenty of 'sales' as defined by QR marketing. But the pricing isn't what it used to be, and with a few exceptions is rarely worth getting excited about. The Sales threads in the stickies t the top of the forum page is the best place for this. Please note the instructions on each one, each has a specific purpose.

I'm specifically looking for the one which they did this time last year, where if you bought two seats in Business it was much cheaper. There were also seats from Stockholm - my preferred departure airport - for £1350 this time last year. Add a grand now!!
Maybe tomorrow will be the day to pounce...

Absolutely nothing new: if chasing low fares, you best look at other operators. OmanAir consistently offers much better value, though it's an awkward FFP arrangementt.

I think that QR is trying to put the best face it can on things. My prediction is that the next "great" sale we'll see will be some type of "We're Back!!" sale when the boycott ends.

I guess it pulls in the odd gullible punter, though you'd think its effectiveness would soften with each outing.
And at the same time it pisses off an awful lot of others.
