Oh man of sleuthness do you have anything more?

With CZ leaving SkyTeam, QRs recent investment in CZ, QRs 49% stake in Air Italy, QRs investment in IAG, the recent hints from the artwork shown in the announcement, and the like never before I am going with a new airline alliance announcement.

Qatar Airways just tweeted this:

We’re a few days away from launching our Hollywood-like brand film, are you ready? #LikeNeverBefore
They wouldn’t have a countdown for just a new advertising campaign, would they?

Could be, it's Qatar Airways after all...
Last year they redefined the word "enhancement"...
Who knows what they are up to this year ??

Seeing the one of the images on their latest tweets, with a big oneworld logo, I guess we can rest assured they will not be announcing their exit from oneworld soon ... at least not next week!

A better question is, have they ever a countdown for a super sale?

They have - a couple of years ago, prior to a Sale which offered QRPC members massive multiples of Qpoints.

The wording on their website does not imply a sale IMHO.

Plus they currently have a pretty decent sale ex Scandianavia to SEA.

We are about to share something new and exciting. Subscribe to our newsletter and be the first to find out what Qatar Airways has in store for 2019.

Perhaps they're going to end the lottery of equipment swaps.
Get the equipment you booked like never before....

Anybody know when they usually reveal what this is about? Is it the day before or just that day?
Because I just put the booking on hold which will expire January 17 at 12:00am...

It’s definitely a new brand video, hypened up and introduced in a most unnecessarily over the top QR-esque manner.

Interesting comment. "... unnecessarily over the top..."? How much is necessary? How much is appropriate? Permissible?

Well, opening a webpage with a countdown timer and asking people to register for the big news seems to me a bit much for a new commercial.

I think this would be more appropriate for something customers would actually be happy with, like a huge sale, a new innovative product or adding a lot off new routes.

It’s also a bit odd that they would spoil their own surprise on social media a couple of days before the
big reveal.
