QR's previous Black Friday sales
I have never flown QR before and see that they are having a sale on Nov 18. I live in a different time zone and just wonder if it's worth staying up for this announcement, based on similar sales before.
Thank you in advance.

A kind word of advice if you're new to QR: don't try to chase down QSuites...
Qsuite changed to non-qsuite both ways, feeling scammed

QR has significantly increased their fares within the last 6-9 months and I assume that we'll see another "up to 30% off promotion" ( which ended up being much lower than 30% in the past promotions ) within select city pairings only.
I wouldn't hold my breath but we wouldn't be seeing EUR 1400 Scandinavia - Bangkok or EUR 2200 Balkans - Australia deals or USD 1600 US East Coast - Europe deals in Business Class like the past.

No airline guarantees a hard product, any seasoned traveller knows this. Equipment swaps happen every day. Some airlines are notorious for this like QR and CX. Even QF is constantly swapping their A388s for 787s that don’t have a F product.

My personal jaunts have included
Scandi to Thailand
Benelux to Japan, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore
Italy to New Zealand
A couple of the above were sales but quite a few of them were not targeted promotions. None of them were black Friday sales. But this was all pre-pandemic when there was overcapacity in the airline industry and Qatar was using cheap fares to drive their brand.
The situation at the moment is very different, Qatar probably don't need to do more to promote brand recognition and there is currently no significant overcapacity on flights.

Are black Fridays promo code a scam?
"Early access to our Black Friday offers

Get up to 12% off in Business and Economy Class.
Simply log in and book on qatarairways.com or our mobile app using the promo code BFCM22, by 24 November 2022."
I'm based in Indonesia, I checked the price for a family trip 3 pax CGK-MXP rt for next June 23, mixed itinerary biz+eco, exactly same flights and dates all of them are same fare basis R+Q
No code - 81.5 million IDR
BFCM22 - 83.7 m IDR black Friday offer...
HSBC card Indonesia promo - 80.6 m IDR
I'm just asking myself which is the sense of all this, why do they need to treat their potential or real customers as morons?
Anyway, as you see no need to hold your breath for the incoming BF offers

None of my good value fares on QR involved the use of a promo code to discount the fare.
I did once use a code that gave some extra benefits but as I was in business all it meant was an extra 10kg of luggage allowance which I didn't need.
