QR..What a dirty trick..
Was looking for a flight and noticed some good offers (14000, NOK approx 1400 euro OSL-SYD RT). However, one must read very carefully the small prints ...Those of us who are frequent travelers will immediately notice this . However, I'm afraid many people will fall into this trap...

I've seen that one, and I came across another one the other day whilst reading the full fare rules that I've not seen with other airlines before: basically there is a timeline during the 24 hours leading up to actual departure where they start having some fancy claims of what you owe them if you don't board or decide to self-offload and basically owe them a pile of money to be determined by them.

This is very misguided on the part of QR, and I think whichever managers deemed it a satisfactory way to display fares need to take a long hard look at themselves. Sharp practice at best, bordering on outright deceit at worst .... regardless of what the ’small print’ caveat emptor says.
QR should stop this immediately

Fraud might be a stretch (it says "Multi cabin" several times and the final overview would show economy on two legs). It's misleading to a customer and poorly made (since a customer, overlooking the various warnings, will inevitably be disappointed when he flies).

Perhaps it's a OW thing? QF always do this sort of thing she. Redeeming award flights. You think you're getting a good bargain for Businessss, but read the note to find out that SYD to SIN is in economy and that SIN to BKK will be the business sector.
